Reasons Why We Should be Using GPS Technology in School Buses
School bus companies have a major responsibility in the safe transportation of school children to and from the school. With the increasing population of road vehicles, traffic jams, road rages, delays, vehicle break downs and slow response times, parents and the school authorities are in a constant state of tension. There has to be some kind of solution. An there is.
About 80 million students across India travel in school buses every day, but on the yearly average approximately 17,000 school children suffer from road or road related accidents that range from minor to major health issues. This means that on a daily average, 92 students need emergency medical treatment due to road accidents!
Now, with the rapidly widening application in the use of the satellite based Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, the opportunity of tracking and monitoring school buses through dedicated tracking and monitoring stations offer the prospect of safe, comfortable and punctual transportation of school students. The GPS technology offers the following benefits to the school authorities as well as to the parents.
One major benefit in using the GPS enabled technology is that it digitally confirms the child’s presence in the school bus and conveys this information to the parents and school authorities through the digital system of text notification and an audio signal alert. This process is accomplished through three available digital registration informational devices that are strategically installed at the entrance of the bus. These digital detection-registration mechanisms comprise the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, the I-Button system and the Bio-Metric digital tracking attendance system. In the RFID system the students simply need to make contact with the digital registration receptor by using their school-issued digital cards prior to boarding the school bus. In the second case, the school students need to use their school-issued digital tags to make contact with the digital registration receptor and in the last case the students’ finger prints are digitally pre-recorded in the digital receptor so that the students simply have to simply finger touch the digital receptor and their boarding is immediately conformed.
White label refers to a product or service that is purchased by a reseller who rebrands the product or service to give the impression that the new owner created it. White label products are often produced via mass production.
Some companies may offer a particular service without any investment in the technology or infrastructure. The producers can increase sales by allowing another company to sell a white label version of their product or service. The company paying to put out a white label product gains by adding another service or product to its brand without having to put the resources into developing it.
