School bus safety technology is smarter than ever.
With a range of the latest school bus safety technologies to choose from, it’s easy to find those that best fit your needs.
Saf-T-Zone™ Pedestrian Detection
This school bus safety feature uses alerts and high-frequency radars to help drivers avoid pedestrian accidents in the front, back and passenger loading side of a bus.
NS PV360® Camera System
NS PV360 gives drivers a 360-degree, bird’s-eye view of what’s happening around a bus. It helps drivers monitor pedestrians, objects and vehicles via one easy-to-view interface.
Auto-Reversing Doors
Auto-reversing doors allow the front entry doors to reopen automatically if they sense an obstruction or passenger.

This radar-based collision mitigation system features collision warning, active braking and adaptive cruise control to keep drivers comfortable and offer an even higher level of safety.
Mobileye® N.V. Warning System
The Mobileye N.V. warning system is designed to prevent forward collision, pedestrian collision and lane departure issues via audio, visual and haptic driver alerts.
