## What is eTechSchoolBus?

eTechSchoolBus is Smart & Safe school bus security solution using GPS and/or RFID.

According to a survey, it has been found that parents are extremely worried about their children when they are on the way to school in school bus. The key reason of worrying is increase in crime; rush driving of school bus driver etc. Hence the tracking of school bus is ultimate solution. This solution is the next level of our eTechTracker GPS Tracking Platform (www.etechtracker.com)

eTechSchoolBus solution is being offered in 2 variants.

1.	Basic GPS Tracking Systems :

This is a basic solution where School Bus is fitted with GPS Tracking Devices. These devices send data to eTechSchoolBus servers. So, admins and parents can monitor the vehicles in real time. Alerts like Geofencing, GPS/Power cutoff, Overspending can be set for school admins.

In order to provide realtime vehicle location to parents, eTechSchool bus offers an IOS App. Its an advanced app where each parent can sign in using their respective logins. IOS Notifications are used to keep parent notified about the Alerts generated by Smart Engine of eTechSchoolBus.

2.	GPS + RFID Systems :

This variant provides RFID based location updates of your children whether your child has reached school or not. GPS device installed in vehicle gives current location of school bus. eTechSchoolBus product is designed specifically for the real time movement tracking, knowing when students got picked or dropped from the bus. Alerts are sent to parents on the arrival of the bus as well as when a student is picked or dropped. Alerts are directly sent to parents IOS Mobile in the form of PUSH Notifications.

For more information, download the presentation from http://www.etechtracker.com/etechschoolbusInfo.htm.


How eTechSchoolBus works?

A smart card (nametag) is provided to each student. Smart Card contains student id information. At the entrance of the bus, RFID card reader will be provided (Internally its connected with GPS Device). Students need to flash the smart card (nametag),
•	while entering into the bus at pick-up point (Pickup)
•	while leaving from bus at a school (Pickup)
•	while entering into the bus after school (Drop)
•	while leaving bus at drop point (Drop)

An alert message will be sent in each of the above cases. Parents can check exact location of bus on online software of eTechSchoolBus. Individual UserID and password will be provided to parents. Parents will be able to check the bus location of their child only. User Id and password will also be provided to school administrators, so that they will be able to check location of all buses.

IOS app solves the problem of sending ETA sms to the parents. The biggest advantage of the app is that the issue of “FALSE ETA SMS” gets solved which generally happens due to networks delays. As parents can monitor the location of the vehicles in real time, there is no compelling need to send the SMS/Alerts for ETA. Still, IOS app provides a facility to calculate the ETA on app itself.

The parents who do not have IOS phones can easily login to our platform and get the complete information.


Benefits:

•	Parents become aware on the whereabouts of the school bus
•	School management remains informed about location, speed of school bus with information of students travelling in bus
•	Parents remain informed about real time location of bus and pick – up and drop updates of their child via sms on mobile phones
•	Availability of Panic button to inform school administrators/bus controllers in case of emergency
•	Reporting on vehicle performance over user specified time interval
•	Remote Immobilization : Remotely stop your vehicle
•	Real time, multiple vehicle tracking for schools

### 3/5 — Wrong status of bus

*2025-03-27*

Some bus not showing exact status , bus is near by stop but map shown still it is there in school campus

### 1/5 — rotating map is extremely disorienting

*2024-09-13*

can we please atleast have an option whereby user can keep the map oriented at one direction (north pointing at top of screen)? most people are used to looking at map that way, the current method of rotating map as per bus may be useful for someone sitting inside the bus but for parents trying to gauge when bus will reach their location it is very very disorienting and unhelpful. despite the HUGE UI Improvement this basic issue is still not solved. Please give me an app that doesn’t rotate the map all the time, instead make the map always north aligned. Its infinitely easier to understand where the bus is this way. Why does the map need to rotate when literally 100% viewers of the app are OUT of the bus?

### 5/5 — App Review

*2023-12-29*

We are happy with this app as it gives proper tracking and capture data accurately

### 2/5 — Maps not loading

*2023-03-06*

Maps not loading with latest version. 
It just hangs on the map loading splash screen with bus moving animations.

### 1/5 — Worst update maps r difficult to view

*2023-01-27*

3D maps are difficult to read. Please provide earlier 2D maps or at least provide way to roll back to older version. Developers do not respond to any complaints.

### 3/5 — North direction as default

*2023-01-16*

With latest updates, map keep on rotating. It should be stable showing north direction as default so it will be helpful for everyone. Pls fix this asap.

### 1/5 — New update not user friendly

*2023-01-10*

With new update , applications become more less user friendly.
It’s keep rotating
Map selection (normal/hybrid) preferences is not stored . Everyone time we have select it .

Earlier version was better than new one .

### 2/5 — Map keeps rotating

*2023-01-04*

With the latest update, the map keeps rotating. It’s neither from bus driver’s perspective nor from the person facing the bus. This random perspective shift has rendered the app useless. Please fix the bug.

### 1/5 — PatheticApp

*2022-12-20*

Whenever I tries to see the bus location map starts revolving. User can not rotate the map as per need. User can not see its location on map. School bus pin and other location pins are of same colour it should be of distinct colour.

### 1/5 — Review and suggestions

*2022-12-20*

The app for iPhone was much better in its previous version.  You could see your location and bus at the same time.  The only improvement needed was real time sync with moving bus.  Now the map keeps rotating half the time and you loose the sense of direction.  At any point there’s no way you can gauge how much time to your stop.

Also still can’t add two buses for both the kids.
