As the nights grow longer and fog becomes a common sight in Quebec cities like Montreal, Quebec City, and Sherbrooke , public transportation operators face a growing challenge: how to keep drivers and passengers safe in conditions where visibility is limited.
That’s where Robofinity InsightDrive™ steps in.
InsightDrive™ is the first AI-powered thermal imaging system designed for vehicles. With real-time visibility up to 656 feet ahead , it detects people, animals, and vehicles in total darkness, fog, or snow — giving drivers the early warning they need to avoid collisions and keep transit running safely.
This makes it a powerful solution for:
- Montreal’s late-night STM buses navigating foggy streets
- Quebec City shuttles operating in winter conditions
- Sherbrooke and Gatineau night routes with limited streetlights
- Rural transit services in low-visibility zones
Why Night Visibility Matters for Quebec Transit
Urban transit drivers in Quebec face unique challenges:
- Foggy nights that reduce visibility to just meters
- Limited street lighting in older neighborhoods
- Pedestrians crossing mid-block or outside crosswalks
- Increased risk during snow, rain, or freezing fog
Traditional headlights only illuminate a short distance ahead and often reflect off fog or snow, reducing clarity. InsightDrive™, on the other hand, uses thermal imaging technology to detect body heat — meaning it can identify people and vehicles long before they become visible to the eye.
This is especially valuable in Montreal’s Plateau Mont-Royal , Laval’s suburban routes , and Quebec City’s winding streets , where fog and darkness can hide dangers until it’s too late.
Enhancing Safety for Drivers and Commuters
Beyond pedestrian safety, InsightDrive™ offers real benefits for transit agencies:
- Reduced accident rates = lower repair and liability costs
- Fewer collisions = improved public trust and service reliability
- Driver confidence = better performance and job satisfaction
Installation is compatible with most city buses, shuttles, and transit vans — integrating seamlessly into existing vehicle systems without distracting the driver.
Whether it’s a late-night commuter bus in Montreal , a weekend shuttle in Quebec City , or a rural transit van in Saguenay , InsightDrive™ ensures that public transit stays safe — even when the city goes dark.
