Every child is a gift to their parents and their country. Their safety is of prime importance to parents. And parents often depend on school busses to take their children to school. As a result, they place a lot of confidence in school management and have faith in their drivers.
Yet still, there is a significant increase in the number of crimes and accidents affecting school buses. There have been a number of issues linked to the late arrival of buses and the drivers not adhering to traffic rules.
We should be aware that sometimes drivers and school administrators tend to take more students than should be taken and this places the bus at high risk. And could, in turn, lead to injuries.
There have also been incidents of child abuse and assaults in school busses targeting children of both genders. Such accidents make us question their safety on the school bus/van. Is there any way that these incidents and circumstances may be stopped altogether? How could we make drivers and school administrators more careful and accountable for the safety of their students?
These mishaps could be attributed to a shortage of adequate and reliable communication services. Bus drivers may not communicate with parents or school officials. This leads to confusion and turmoil.
Major Problems
- No live location update
- Confusion in pickup and drop
- Breaking traffic rules and signals
- Not being punctual
- Bus fee payment issues
- Child abuse
- Accommodating larger number of students than allowed
This constant anxiety and the tragic occurrences can be averted right away. With an innovative and well-developed mobile application, lives can be saved.

Tracking apps avoid congestion by predicting the approaching traffic jam. As a consequence, drivers may take the appropriate steps to reach them on time. Drivers can also update school management or parents about late arrivals. This reduces a lot of ambiguity and miscommunication.

4. Can see the list of pickup points and drops
Drivers could have to operate different buses at different times. A comprehensive list of pick-up points and drop-down locations helps the school bus to run efficiently even if the driver switches.
5. Emergency alert feature for unlikely circumstances
