Providing safe student transportation is essential for every school district. Utilizing a properly configured, scalable mobile video surveillance solution has proven the best way to create a safe environment for every student, driver and the school district. When properly implemented, schools realize improvement in the following areas:
• Decrease in bullying
• Faster dispute resolution
• Reduction in liability
• Correct driver behavior
• Develop efficient bus routes
• Improve vehicle maintenance
• Coordination with local law enforcement
• Live view into emergency
• Provide transparency with parents
• Overall improvement in transportation operating expenses
Below are examples of real life situations that every school encounters and how a properly designed and implemented mobile video surveillance solution benefits the school:
A parent calls the school stating their child was bullied during the ride home yesterday. How do you handle this quickly and correctly?
With a comprehensive mobile video surveillance solution, video footage is wirelessly downloaded to your server once the bus returned to the lot. There is no need to manually pull a hard drive to access the video you need. Access your user-friendly surveillance software, select the bus, then simply watch the specific timeframe the incident occurred, not the entire day’s video.
Or perhaps the bus driver noticed the bullying and activated the “panic button.” Simply review videos flagged as “panic button” in your software program. You can now address the situation and contact the parent.
Always know your surveillance equipment and vehicle’s engine is fully operational before leaving the lot. Robust software proactively monitors health and operational status of surveillance equipment and the engine. The software automatically creates a report detailing whether the equipment or engine is offline, low on power, or fully functional. Managing your operation’s health status minimizes the risk of surprise breakdowns and a liability in surveillance coverage.
Data overload? How do you easily identify fleet trends to streamline operations and save more money?
Implementing a user-friendly surveillance solution allows for quick video review by events and notifications you deem important. Utilize data trends to streamline operations and even save money on fuel costs by reducing idle time. Set up and receive automatic notifications via email and/or text message alerting you once the bus has returned to the lot. Automatic notifications can be easily set up for, but not limited to: bus speed, driving outside the geofence, idle time, stop-arm activation, warning lights activated and much more.
Installing a comprehensive mobile video surveillance solution is a large investment for our district. What is its long-term value?
Deliver cost savings and time to your district in just a few short years by receiving your video footage and notification alerts wirelessly. This reduces labor and insurance
premiums, while increasing safety and responding to parent concerns quickly. The math speaks for itself: (One person spending two hours per week manually pulling hard
drives x 52 weeks x wage/hour) + (12 months x monthly insurance savings) = SAVINGS PER YEAR.
With fuel costs fluctuating, we need an efficient method to create and maximize bus routes. Is there an easy method to generate and adjust our routes?
Easily manage and create routes by implementing intuitive software. Routes are optimized for the most efficient path between points “A” and “B” to save time and fuel
costs. Modifications and changes can be quickly made improving arrival and departure times at each stop. Maximize your routing with right-turns, avoiding construction zones, and encouraging group pick-ups, etc.
Ongoing safety and development for drivers is vital. How do I continue to help improve their behaviors without riding along?
Driver monitoring software provides data and supporting video footage detailing a driver’s behavior. This information allows for a conversation with the driver to enhance or minimize their behavior behind the wheel. The data are associated with a scanned I.D. badge assigned to the driver, not the vehicle. When needed or at regular intervals, generate automatic reports to view speed, driving outside the geofence, excessive idle times, etc. to begin the conversation.
