Automatic Passenger
Counting System
People counters save lives. Children often fall to sleep on the bus and drivers may forget to check.
If a child gets left behind they can die from excessive heat. Let’s not leave any children behind.
Add a people counter to any of our DVRs and trigger an alarm or send a sms to alert driver and dispatch that a child has been left on the bus.
​
Automatic Passenger counters count each person that enters the bus and each person that leaves the bus. This is then reported over Wi-Fi to dispatch so the number of students on the bus is known in real time. An alarm or SMS message can be triggered if there are passengers still on the bus when the ignition is off.
STUDENT CARD READER
Digital Student ID cards will help prevents students from getting on the wrong bus.
​
​
Our systems will scan and validate ID cards with a known database. If a student that is not assigned to the bus gets on, an alarm will be triggered. The driver can determine whether or not to allow the child to enter the bus.
Decrease The Risk Of Kidnapping
​
Student ID Card Reader
Time is vital to prevent student kidnapping or other tragedies.
​
Know children’s location minute by minute.
​
Card readers can be programmed to send a message when a child gets on or off the bus. This will give parents a quicker response time if a tragedy should occur.
Reduce behavioral problems, Child bulling, damage to seats
A child bully alarm can be installed and triggered by a student in the event of an incident.
​
A second protection is the video camera. Cameras can be viewed from dispatch or on a monitor placed in the driver view.
If needed, dispatch can speak directly with students over the bus audio system. However, it has been our experience that when student are aware they're under video surveillance, their behavior improves.
Cameras protect drivers from false complaints
TV newsmagazines such as "Dateline" and "20/20" have aired segments on teachers who had their careers destroyed by students who claim these teachers sexually abused or assaulted them. In some cases, these allegations are found to be true; in others, they are unsubstantiated. Even if the allegations were found to be false, the teacher's career - or life - could be ruined in the process. Unfortunately, school bus drivers and aides are also easy targets for false accusations from students and their parents. Certainly, there's no shortage of students who hold their drivers in disrespect. This grudge can develop into malice, especially if the driver files a conduct report against them. From there, students need only file a false report to gain their measure of revenge.
​
​
This problem is resolve by having cameras that cover the inside of the bus. School staff is able to see what really happen. This can also be viewed in real-time. So the problem can be corrected immediately.
Cameras help protect students
When students get on the school bus every morning, parents put their safety in a bus driver’s hands and, by extension, the school district’s hands. Parents rely on bus drivers not only to get their children to and from school every day, but to do so safely.
Increasingly, one way to ensure safety is the top priority is through the use of cameras inside and outside a school bus. The truth is that cameras can go a long way toward ensuring students’ safety while being transported to and from school.
By capturing audio and video of what’s happening in and around a school bus, these cameras can perform many functions. They can:
​
-
Promote driver and student accountability while going to and from school.
​
-
Maintain a driver’s compliance with traffic laws both on and around the bus.
​
-
Provide all-around enhanced safety and security for students and school officials.
​
-
Help administrators make more accurate calls when it comes to disciplinary action.
REDUCE INSURANCE COST
IMPROVING DRIVER
BEHAVIOR
Accelerating more conservatively, idling less, and maintaining fuel efficient speeds is a great recipe for fuel efficiency. But, are you sure your drivers are following these best practices?
​
Reducing costs by correcting poor driving habits and implementing internal guidelines on Fuel Efficiency, Idling, and Aggressive Driving will make a big impact in your vehicle Operations.
DECREASE EMERGENCY RESPONSE TIME
​
EVENT BUTTON GPS
Time is often the most critical factor involved during an emergency. Every second counts in situations involving life or death. It’s not surprising that numerous countries around the world are taking advantage of GPS technology to improve emergency response times.
​
There are a few major components that can significantly delay emergency response times, including miscommunications and uncertain traffic & road conditions. Thankfully, GPS live tracking is helping to improve emergency response times.
​
We install an emergency event button with every system. This can be activated by the driver in case of an emergency. When the event button is activated dispatch will receive an alert. School staff can look in on the bus and view the cameras, then respond accordingly
MOBILE DATA TERMINAL
-
Trip management: school bus routes can be managed through an MDT as opposed to a traditional paper list. By incorporating wireless communication MDTs have the ability to update an individual driver’s manifest to reflect changing trip requests.
​
​
-
Communication: MDTs can be used to facilitate efficient communication between vehicles and dispatch. This is often in the form of pre-programmed text messaging, which uses significantly less bandwidth than voice calls over a two-way radio system. School Districts operating a large number of vehicles may find that pre-programmed text messaging is an effective tool to reduce voice traffic.
Two-Way Radio
-
Facilitate communication between driver and dispatch.​
​
-
Eliminate the need to have an extra system for communication with dispatch. ​
​
-
All of our DVR systems have the ability to incorporate a two way radio.
