• Cityflo integrates ADAS and DMS systems to monitor both road conditions and driver behavior, enhancing safety and accountability.
• The system is live across most buses and cabs in Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad, with full fleet coverage expected within a month.
• Aims to prevent accidents by addressing human errors like fatigue and distraction responsible for over 90% of road crashes in India.

Mumbai urban mobility startup Cityflo had installed, for a full-stack AI solution, driver safety systems in its fleet, proposing what could be considered landmark progress in how road safety and fleet operations are managed in the public mobility domain in India.

The new safety setup comprises two basic technologies: an Advanced Driver Assistance System that alerts drivers about road exigencies in real-time, and a Driver Monitoring System that monitors driver behavior within the vehicle. These systems were deliberately entwined to forge a dual-layered safety mechanism that mitigates hazards, creates accountability, and brings standardization to driver performance at scale.

"We are expanding our fleet, which also demands being managed by smarter systems," noted Cityflo CBO Rushabh Shah. "Our philosophy is that operational excellence begins with full visibility  both inside and outside of the cabin. This is not just about reacting to safety incidents, but about preventing them through these data-driven insights."

Cityflo has implemented the system along with the safety intelligence company Cautio, which was deployed almost immediately across most of Cityflo's buses and LUXE cabs operating in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Delhi, with full fleet integration expected in a month.

The timing of this upgrade could not be better, says the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, since India contributes 11% of road fatalities, while having only 1% of the world's vehicles.
