BusPatrol is a Safety Tech company. We develop partnerships, educate communities and deploy Smart Bus technology to reduce Stop-Arm violations. Our technology turns a school bus into a Smart Bus, equipped with video, GPS, telemetry, data processing and archiving. More technology means more connectivity, accountability and security. BusPatrol’s Safety Tech enhances and protects the lives of our children. Smart Buses are equipped with Stop-Arm cameras that monitor up to 8 lanes of traffic. Additional exterior cameras also capture and record the windshield view, passenger loading zone and rear view. Optional interior cameras allow for passenger, driver, and door-well coverage. Security Staff monitor violations and collaborate with police to process evidence and enforce the law. With a 4G LTE real-time system, and 2 terabyte DVR drive, the memory is fully customizable and scalable. The bus patrol brain holds 22 days of data and video recording. At BusPatrol we use our own traffic citation management software, BusPatrol OS. With our simple and powerful citation management platform, Security Staff are able to view the Stop-Arm camera violations from any connected bus. The recorded infractions are sent to law enforcement. Our Automatic Vehicle Locator’s GPS and accelerometer system report live telemetry. All data is logged and archived for reports and analytics. Our real-time alert system uses sensory data to generate instant text or email messages in case of potential distress. These include off-route reporting, high-speed warning and erratic driving alerts.
