| The first-of-its-kind initiative is being launched along with its consortium partners, Sobha AppliedDSP Pvt Ltd, Chennai, and Kiran Technologies, Kochi. |
| According to the MoU, Dhanus would provide FleeTrac services in over 20,000 private buses. |
| With this, passengers would get instant information on location, arrival and departure timing and the proposed arrival time of the destination of every individual bus through Internet and SMS. |
| "FleeTrac is an innovation from Dhanus Technologies in the telematics space and is useful for bus, truck, taxi, and call centre transport," said AD Sudhindra, executive chairman of Dhanus Technologies. |
| Passengers will have real time information on the next approaching destination and distance or time left for the same through an LED display within the buses. |
| As the display would be both in English and Malayalam, this will also help tourists who face difficulties due to language barrier, said AK Abdulla, president, KSPBOF. |
| The system will also keep a check on the speed of the buses. |
