School Bus Telematics Tracking System

School Bus Telematics System

Ensuring student safety, particularly during school bus transit, is a primary concern for schools and parents. Addressing potential hazards during bus operations is an urgent challenge.

School buses face the following issues:

1. Driver Misconduct: Actions such as overloading, speeding, and other violations increase accident risks.

2. Traffic Congestion: Peak traffic during school hours can delay buses, making it hard for management centers to respond promptly.

3. Disputes and Accidents: Events like injuries, theft, or conflicts are challenging to verify without evidence.

4. Difficulty in Driver Assessment: Lack of data for evaluation, varying driver quality, and frequent fuel theft issues.

5. Parental Concerns: Parents desire timely notifications and assurance of their child's safety.

6. Inconvenient Pickup/Drop-off: Parents cannot track the exact arrival time of school buses.

7. Slow Incident Response: Delayed information during hijackings or accidents hampers rescue efforts.

8. Incomplete Equipment: Existing safety devices, such as optical alarms, require optimization.
