Where there are schools, there is bound to be school buses. Though it is very convenient for the parents, students and school, sometimes it also creates unwanted worries when the buses are late. These worries could be set aside if school bus tracker is installed in the buses.
It isn’t complicated to install and use the tracking system. Once the school bus tracking system is installed in the buses, it ensures safety of the students as there is constant monitoring of the whereabouts of the vehicle.
The school authorities chart a particular bus for a set of students. These buses have the tracking system installed and the same is connected to the school transport system. Parents need to have a mobile phone with them. With the mobile application, parents can locate the bus in which their children travel and know where the school bus is, at that particular time. Parents can only access the particular bus to which they are assigned.All that the parents have to do is to download the said application onto their mobile phones.
It serves a good purpose since they could use the tracking system from anywhere- office, home, markets or even outskirts of the city provided there is a network connection. The GPS tracking solution that companies offer differ in features and capacity. There are companies that provide custom made GPS system that could be used for their purpose.
How it Works?
The company installs the school bus tracking system themselves and there are no technical skills needed to operate the same. Moreover, there are systems that come with different prices. The school authorities can choose the best priced system that suits their purpose. All that they have to bear in mind is the size of the school (number of children) and the number of objects it connects to (number of buses), and the locations to which the pick-up and drop facilities are provided.
The pricing also depends upon the plans related to the GPS tracking solution. There are plans ranging from 1 month to 12 months. Schools could also opt for a tracking system as a trial version and if satisfied, could take up the offer. The other features of GPS tracking system are:
- Know the delays in the arrival or departure of the school bus.
- Get information if the vehicle is stuck in a place or at a traffic.
- Know the exact route taken by the bus and view the change in routes taken by the bus.
The school bus tracker system has now enabled the parents to get utmost peace of mind with regard to the safety of their children. It is just like being with the children, though not physically.
