SBS Transit pioneers smart bus braking system in Singapore

The project is scheduled for a pilot launch in H1 2026.

SBS Transit is developing Singapore’s first intelligent bus braking system to pilot in H1 2026.

The Responsive and Adaptive Braking System (RABS) is part of a partnership between Streamax and TNT Surveillance.

In conventional emergency braking systems, applying the brake often causes it to lock, leading to sharp, sudden jolts. RABS, in contrast, is designed to deliver a more controlled and gradual deceleration.

RABS will use radar sensors and cameras to monitor the vehicle’s surroundings continuously and will be designed to handle traffic.

In situations where a collision is unavoidable, RABS will automatically respond by moderating the braking force to lessen the impact, reduce the risk of injury, and minimise vehicle damage.

In addition, RABS will also transmit real-time data directly to the Bus Operations Control Centre.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
