The effectiveness of black box application on the Express Buses: a case of Park May Berhad / Dahlia Murni Hamidon

The rationale of this study is to discuss the importance of using the black box. The main objective of this programme is to reduce rate of accident especially involving express buses.Black box or Vehicle Speed Monitor(VSM) is a computerised system which is essentially, a simple device that records and stores in its memory every occurence of the vehicle exceeding the set speed limit and tampering. The system is virtually maintenance-free and is designed and built to be tamperproof, rugged, robust and accurate. It is made of automative grade components and materials that are able to withstand extreme environmental conditions and temperatures. Malaysia is first to use the device in the express and tour buses. In the European countries, a different tool called speed limiter is used to monitor the buses.
