Bengaluru, India – December 3, 2025: Netradyne, a global leader in AI-powered fleet safety and performance solutions, announced a strategic partnership with SAAM Tourist Pvt. Ltd., a Bengaluru-based transport company specializing in intercity, tourist, and corporate travel services. As part of this collaboration, SAAM will integrate Netradyne’s vision-based Driver•i® fleet safety platform across its intercity bus fleet.

This initiative is designed to raise safety standards and boost operational efficiency across SAAM’s long-distance operations. Renowned for its decades-long service and commitment to passenger safety, SAAM Tourist operates a network of intercity night sleeper coaches where driver alertness is critical. 

The company has continually sought innovative ways to identify and mitigate risky driving practices across its routes. By levaraging, Netradyne’s Driver•i® platform, SAAM Tourist gains real-time actionable visibility into driver performance. This enables the company to proactively address critical safety concerns such as speeding, distracted driving (including mobile phone use), and driver fatigue. With these insights, SAAM can deliver more effective driver coaching, strengthen accountability, and ultimately enhance passenger safety across its fleet.


“We operate intercity night sleeper coaches where driver behavior is absolutely critical to passenger safety. In the past, it was challenging to spot risky driving habits – be it speeding, mobile phone use, drowsiness, or other distractions – in real time. Netradyne’s AI-powered Driver•i has been impactful in addressing these issues by providing instant alerts and deep insights into our drivers’ performance. The platform’s SaaS-based model was a key factor in our decision, as it lowers our capital expenditure while giving us access to a wide range of safety metrics. We’re also evaluating the extension of this technology into our tourist and employee transport divisions next, reinforcing our commitment to safety and innovation across all our services.”

For drivers, real-time in-cab guidance helps them stay focused and confident on the road. For fleet managers, detailed performance insights make it easier to reduce risk, streamline operations, and recognize positive driving behaviors. Together, these capabilities not only lower accidents and costs but also build a culture of accountability, recognition, and safety that benefits both drivers and passengers.


“SAAM Tourist has built a reputation over decades for providing safe, reliable travel experiences for its passengers. By embracing our AI-powered Driver•i technology, they’re taking that commitment to the next level—proactively preventing incidents before they happen and empowering their drivers to perform at their best.
