Student tracking can be a controversial topic, but it really shouldn't be. Tracking systems ensure your buses and your student ridership are where they need to be, when they need to be - and if something goes wrong, it becomes far easier to handle the situation. The upsides to tracking systems are many, with very few real downsides.
However, one of those downsides can be the complexity of implementing a tracking system from scratch. That's why Orbit Software has produced our new free white paper, Your Comprehensive Guide to Student GPS Tracking! In just a few pages, we discuss everything you need to know about implementing GPS tracking systems from start to finish.
Bus and Student Tracking Made Easy With Orbit Software
What does student GPS look like? It's a combination of three separate systems.
- A GPS system on all your buses, tracking their movements whenever they're on the road
- Scannable student IDs, such as those with barcodes or RFID chips, which allow you to track as students move around school or get on/off buses
- Cellular or satellite Internet connections to report back to the office.
Along with a software package to handle the data, these give you unprecedented ability to oversee your buses and students! Just some of the benefits include:
- Knowing where students and buses are at all times.
- Collecting highly accurate student ridership data for attendance reporting.
- Providing detailed performance feedback to drivers.
- Confidently answering parental questions about bus locations/ETAs.
- Nearly instant alerts if a bus ever behaves dangerously or deviates from the route.
- Faster response to emergencies such as vehicle accidents.
- Improved state reporting to guarantee full funding.
The hardest part is getting started, and that's where Orbit Software can help. We have over 25 years' experience helping districts of all sizes embrace new technology, with great results.
