For the first time in decades there were zero bus crashes resulting in death across Iran during the Norouz holidays (Iranian New Year holiday season from March 21 to April 2). The improvement is attributed to a smart monitoring system named ‘Sepahtan’ installed on intercity buses.
Sepahtan is an online monitoring system that keeps bus drivers wary and curbs their temptation to violate the law when moving passengers. The monitoring system tracks the route a vehicle takes, its speed and for how many hours a driver is behind the wheel.
The device is jointly designed and produced by three Iranian knowledge-based firms namely Rahnegar Hushmand, Radshid, Hushmand Namaye Afzar, their website reported.
