Industry Overview:
In recent years,school bus safety accidents have occurred frequently, such as unqualified school bus drivers not holding a license, serious collision accidents during school bus transportation, and students stranded after the school bus stalled, causing high temperature suffocation, etc., which have had a huge negative impact on society and may also cause irreparable harm to the families of the students involved in the accident. School bus safety has attracted great attention from the society. After paying a painful lesson, we should seriously reflect on how to strengthen supervision through technical means and prevent accidents under the government’s strict improvement of school bus safety management measures. When a crisis occurs, rescue and emergency response can be quickly launched, thereby minimizing the occurrence of accidents. This is the responsibility and obligation of the current government, schools, and enterprises that should actively respond.
Pain point analysis:
Overloading of vehicles
Local governments or schools have insufficient financial investment in vehicles, resulting in a mismatch between the number of school buses and the number of students. The buses are unable to meet the normal transportation needs of students going to and from school, and are frequently overloaded, leading to serious traffic accidents.
Driver working without a license
There is a lack of basis for the assessment of school bus drivers, and temporary drivers often work without a license, increasing the risk of traffic accidents .
Irregular driving
The drivers have a weak sense of responsibility and often engage in unsafe driving behaviors such as speeding, sudden acceleration, deceleration, sharp turns, and talking on the phone while driving, which seriously affect the safety of the driver and the passenger students.
Students stranded after engine failure
Due to the negligence of the driver and the teacher, students are often left in the car after the school bus is stalled, leading to serious suffocation incidents.
Parents’ concerns
When parents are picking up their children , they don’t know when the school bus will arrive , which can easily lead to a long wait or delayed pick-up and drop- off. For the safety of their children on the way to school, parents hope to receive timely text message notifications after getting on and off the bus , so that they can know the normal arrival and departure times.
Vehicle full-process monitoring and emergency dispatch
School buses need to record the entire process of transporting students to and from school, including vehicle data such as audio and video, positioning, speed, temperature, and vehicle door opening and closing status. At the same time, abnormal situations are inevitable during the operation process, requiring timely remote assistance and emergency dispatch with the management.
Solution:
By installing a 4G wireless video intelligent vehicle terminal kit on the school bus , high-precision vehicle positioning, real-time audio and video scheduling, monitoring of the number of students getting on and off the bus, driver legal identity verification, and vehicle safety assisted driving detection can be achieved. The back-end data monitoring cloud platform is integrated to achieve safety supervision and operation management of smart school buses. This solution has been successfully applied in many projects at home and abroad.
System functions:
Full-time monitoring: Real-time video monitoring of vehicles, remote viewing of various on-site conditions and historical video data. When the vehicle turns left or right, the vehicle can dynamically switch to display the video screen of the corresponding position to provide driving assistance to the driver; through GPS high-precision positioning, the location and current status of each vehicle can be understood in real time, and the historical trajectory of the vehicle can ;
Speeding monitoring: The vehicle is equipped with a high-precision GPS/Beidou global positioning module, which can know the vehicle’s driving speed in real time. Through the preset speeding threshold, once the vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the driver can be reminded in time and the alarm can be sent to the back-end platform, providing an effective means for school bus management;
Safety driving assistance system: The built-in safety module of the vehicle terminal can realize the driver’s driving status monitoring DSM system, such as yawning, closing eyes, smoking, talking on the phone, drinking water, looking around; at the same time, the vehicle’s forward-looking auxiliary driving ADAS system, such as front vehicle collision warning FCW, vehicle distance warning HMW, lane departure warning LDW ;
Vehicle driving status detection: The vehicle terminal has a built-in unique GSensor algorithm to realize dynamic detection of vehicle driving, such as sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration, sudden left and right turns, and rollover collision detection alarm;
Counting the number of people in the bus: Installing an intelligent video crowd counter on the door of the school bus can accurately count the number of people getting on and off the bus and the number of people in the bus. Once overloaded, the on-board terminal will promptly alarm the back-end supervision cloud platform;
Driver face recognition: The school bus driver can be identified by the camera inside the car, which effectively solves the problem of drivers working without a license or working with someone else’s license;
SMS /WeChat notification: When students get on or off the bus, the onboard terminal will send the student’s information to the cloud platform, which can notify their parents in a timely manner via SMS or WeChat;
Anti-detention mechanism: After the vehicle is turned off, the driver must trigger the safety inspection button installed at the rear of the vehicle within the specified time, otherwise the vehicle will promptly remind and alarm, adding a safety inspection mechanism inside the vehicle after the driver turns off the vehicle to prevent students from being stranded in the vehicle;
Data statistics: attendance report, operation report, alarm report;
Information management: basic information management, vehicle maintenance information, maintenance and repair;
