bitsensing has introduced an aftermarket advanced driver assistance system for commercial vehicles, aiming to improve road safety and regulatory compliance for fleet operators through a retrofit-ready solution.
The Seoul-based radar specialist said its newly launched ADAS Kit combines radar and camera technologies to provide real-time warnings for collision risks and blind-spot hazards during driving, manoeuvring and stationary scenarios. The system is designed for buses, trucks and other large fleet vehicles, which typically face higher safety risks due to extended blind spots and longer braking distances.
The ADAS Kit uses a sensor-fusion architecture that integrates radar sensors powered by NXP Semiconductors’ STRX chipset with camera systems, enabling continuous object detection and visual context. Alerts are delivered through an in-vehicle display to support driver decision-making, particularly in dense urban environments.
bitsensing said the system complies with key United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) regulations for large vehicles, including R151 for Blind Spot Information Systems and R159 for Moving Off Information Systems. These standards are increasingly being enforced across Europe, driving demand for compliant safety technologies in the commercial vehicle sector.
The ADAS Kit offers six core warning functions: blind-spot information, surround-view monitoring, rear collision warning, front vehicle start alert, forward collision warning and moving-off information. A standard installation includes radar sensors positioned at the front or corners of the vehicle, cameras, an integrated control unit and a driver-facing alert display. The company said the retrofit design allows installation on existing vehicles without requiring platform redesigns.
Initial real-world deployment is already under way in South Korea. In November 2025, bitsensing announced a collaboration with Koreawide Express Group to pilot the ADAS Kit across its fleet of intercity and city buses. Pilot operations are currently active on routes in downtown Daegu, a city with a population of about 2.3 million, with plans to expand the installation to more than 500 buses.
According to industry data cited by bitsensing, heavy goods vehicles account for about 14% of fatal road crashes in the European Union and roughly 9% in the United States, underscoring the safety challenges faced by large vehicles.
bitsensing said it expects demand for retrofit ADAS solutions to grow as regulators tighten safety requirements and fleet operators seek cost-effective ways to improve safety without replacing existing vehicles.
