“Feedback from Seon’s customers directly influences the design and engineering of our products, ensuring that we meet our customers’ present and future needs,” Simmons added.
Seon launched in July at the STN EXPO an integration of three platforms as an “all-in-one solution” for student transportation management. The vMax® Compass gives school transportation staff integrated, web-based access to plan and analyze routes, track vehicles and students, view live video, and monitor the status of on-board video equipment in real-time. The vMax® Trac is an RFID card-based student tracking solution that allows transportation staff to generate a roster of students currently travelling on a bus, or instantly identify a student’s last known location. The integration uses a high-definition CHW exterior wedge camera that Seon said offers three times the resolution of a typical analog camera while being designed for rugged exterior applications such license plate capture of stop-arm violations among others.
