- KSRTC is the state-owned road transport corporation of Karnataka.
মেইনস
GS Paper 2/3: Road safety is a governance and technology issue. Road accidents impose heavy human and economic costs; state transport undertakings adopting ADAS show technology-led safety measures in public transport. Way forward: scale up pilots after evaluating results, train drivers, enforce safety norms and integrate data from ADAS for accident analysis.

উত্তর দেখুন
উত্তর: D — Correct: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems — ADAS means Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, which use cameras and sensors to warn the driver or help avoid collisions. • Automatic Driver Alert Sensors — wrong: No such expansion is used; ADAS is not about alert sensors alone. • Advanced Directional Aid System — wrong: ADAS does not stand for a directional aid; it assists the driver, not navigation alone. • Autonomous Driving Allocation System — wrong: ADAS is not an autonomous-driving allocation system; the driver stays in control.
