BSS Measures: Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB)
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
• AEB can be constantly vigilant, against a
range of collision partners
• Emergencies only, if driver is
unresponsive
False Positives
• If falsely activated, AEB might pose
additional risk to bus passengers
• Innovative test procedures, to discourage
less robust systems

BSS Measures: Vision Standard for Buses
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
• Adaptation of the Direct Vision Standard to suit
buses
• Innovative extension to include indirect vision too
Class II mirror only Class II mirror + blind
spot mirror

BSS Measures: Runaway bus prevention
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
• Interlock system holds the brakes on to
prevent rolling
• Bus driver workshops and task analysis
• Human factors experts development checklist

BSS Measures: Acoustic Conspicuity
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
• Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) brings
a quiet running bus to sound as conspicuous
as a diesel engine bus
• Testing compared the speaker at the front and
back against a quiet electric bus; sound at the
front was most effective
• Innovation evaluation procedures developed to
help select an ‘urban bus’ sound

BSS Measures: VRU Frontal Crashworthiness
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
• Protecting Vulnerable Road Users (VRU( if an
impact occurs
• Energy absorption and bus front end design
• Will drive some noticeable bus design changes
• Development of aggressivity testing for buses,
adapted from HGVs
• Simulation work to investigate improvements in
geometry to deflect and prevent run-over

BSS Measures: Occupant friendly interiors
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
• Evaluation testing (both simulation and sled
testing) showed that higher back seats can
better restrain occupants
• Visual inspections embedded in the design
process
• Encourage better protection for bus passengers
in braking and collisions

BSS Measures: Pedal application error
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
• Brake ‘toggling’ to update the memory of the brake
pedal location
• Lights to help recovery from error
• Innovative evaluation procedure to check normal
driving unaffected

BSS Measures: Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA)
TFL BUS SAFETY STANDARD
20 • Improves the effectiveness of
most other measures
• Rolling out onto bus fleet now
• Around 700 buses on over 50
routes by March 2019
