bitsensing and Korea Wide Group launch large-scale ADAS pilot for commercial buses in South Korea
Press Release, 5 November 2025
bitsensing, a radar solutions provider, has partnered with Korea Wide Group—a major South Korean transportation company—and its affiliates Gyeongbuk Express and Jinan Express to roll out a large-scale pilot of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) across commercial bus fleets.
The project begins with the installation of bitsensing’s all-in-one ADAS Kit on Korea Wide’s express, intercity, and city buses to evaluate real-world performance in Daegu’s downtown routes, a bustling commercial hub with 120,000 residents. Over time, the initiative aims to equip over 500 buses with the technology.
The ADAS Kit integrates radar, camera, and advanced algorithms to ensure high-accuracy detection of vehicles, lanes, and pedestrians—critical for safely navigating dense urban environments. It includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, and blind spot information, offering drivers enhanced safety and situational awareness.
Data collected during the pilot will be analyzed to improve detection accuracy, response speed, and user experience. bitsensing also plans to adapt its algorithms for trucks and heavy-duty commercial vehicles, further expanding the impact of its radar–camera fusion technology.
According to Dr. Jae-Eun Lee, CEO of bitsensing, urban buses provide one of the toughest environments for testing ADAS due to constant stops and dynamic road conditions. This collaboration aims to validate and strengthen bitsensing’s position as a trusted safety technology provider for commercial fleets.
Sang-Hoon Lee, CEO of Gyeongbuk Express, emphasized the project’s role in setting new safety standards for the bus industry and accelerating digital transformation within Korea’s transportation sector.
The partnership was showcased at FIX 2025 (Future Mobility Convergence Expo) in Daegu, where visitors experienced ADAS-equipped shuttle buses in action—demonstrating features like stop-and-go assistance, distance keeping, and blind spot detection.
This collaboration marks a pivotal move toward commercializing ADAS for public transport, advancing Korea’s efforts in sustainable, tech-driven mobility.
