Advanced Passenger Transport, Bus & Coach Safety Solutions

Public service and passenger carrying vehicles play a vital role in everyday life. Keeping drivers, passengers, other road users safe is paramount. The size of buses and coaches means that drivers can experience extensive blind spots, increasing the risk of serious and fatal collisions.

Operating in busy, urban areas can further expose vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians.

In 2021, 111 cyclists were killed on UK roads. The adoption of fleet safety and driver assistance technology is essential to tackle this issue and drive forwards safer roads for all.

Challenges faced by the bus & coach industry

• Increased collisions due to blind spots, reducing driver visibility and raising the risk of accidents.
• Rear overhang causing damage when manoeuvring, especially in confined urban environments.
• Vehicle damage from street signs or trees, often occurring on narrow or obstructed roads.
• Difficult manoeuvring in tight spaces and sharp corners, increasing scrapes and impacts.
• Vandalism and criminal attacks on drivers or passengers, posing safety & operational challenges.

Key Benefits of 360° Systems

Eliminates blind spots

Provides a complete bird’s eye view around the vehicle, helping drivers see areas that mirrors and standard cameras can’t cover.

Improves low speed manoeuvring

Essential for depots, tight bays, narrow yards, and busy stations where close quarter awareness is critical.

Protects vulnerable road users

Helps drivers spot pedestrians, cyclists, and scooters in close proximity to the vehicle.

Reduces risk of collisions & vehicle damage

Prevents side scrapes, mirror hits, low speed impacts, and other avoidable incidents.

Supports driver confidence

Gives drivers greater awareness, making reversing, turning, and docking at stands much easier.

Enhances incident reporting

Recorded footage provides clear evidence for insurance claims, investigations, and training purposes.

Improves fleet safety compliance

Helps meet safety standards and operational requirements expected by many operators and authorities.

Fleet Safety Solutions – Suitable for self-install

Multi-Camera

Rear and side-mounted multi-camera systems deliver clear visibility around the vehicle capturing critical events. High-quality recorded footage provides transport teams with evidence to support incident investigations and resolve disputes for faster incident claims.

ADAS & DMS

ADAS and DMS deliver realtime in-cab alerts to help drivers identify risk, avoid incidents, and flag non-compliance including mobile phone usage, distraction or smoking. AI-detected events generate footage to provide a clear, consolidated view of fleet safety performance

Low Bridge Detection

Low Bridge Detection systems help prevent height-related collisions with bridges by providing clear in-cab visual and audible alerts. Designed for high-sided vehicles, the system automatically identifies clearance risks, improving driver awareness while reducing disruption, vehicle damage and costly infrastructure incidents.

MaxConnex®

MaxConnex is a centralised fleet intelligence platform that unifies telematics, live video and AI analytics in one interface. It provides real-time visibility of vehicle performance, driver behaviour and incidents, supported by configurable alerts and dashboards to improve safety, compliance and operational efficiency.

Telematics Integration with Geotab

Deep Geotab Integration

By connecting Motormax’s advanced AI, single and multi-cameras with Geotab’s platform, fleet operators can access comprehensive driver monitoring and coaching capabilities directly within MyGeotab for a true “one-pane-of-glass” experience.

AI-Powered Event Detection

The solution combines Geotab’s rule engine with Motormax’s AI-powered event detection to deliver actionable safety insights. Deep integration enables automatic safety scoring, behavioural analysis, and streamlined coaching workflows, all centralised in MyGeotab.

Viewing Exceptions

When a rule is “broken” an exception is created. An exception records data such as date, time, location & duration.

Detailed Exception View

Each exception can be thoroughly reviewed in detail, with integrated camera footage available to provide visual verification and support accurate incident analysis where required.

Supporting Compliance & Safety standards

Motormax supports bus and coach operators in meeting evolving safety and compliance requirements, including PSVAR and UNECE R10 approval.

We are also proud members of FORS, the Road Haulage Association (RHA) and a CLOCS Delivery Partner.

We’ve helped many fleets become FORS members. Our innovative safety solutions can be tailored to make sure your fleet meet the requirements for the desired FORS tier.
