Operational Impact
Almost immediately, Brad says that their RFID system has shown its value. In the first few weeks of school, a kindergarten student appeared to go missing in their bus system, having not gotten off at their assigned stop. This obviously was a major concern for staff and certainly the student’s parents. By looking up the RFID tracking information, staff was able to verify that the student had, in fact, gotten on the bus. The driver was alerted immediately and they pulled over to inspect the bus. The student was found sleeping soundly at the back. Within 5 seconds, the student was located and within 2 minutes, the parents were informed and the driver was able to return to the stop to let the student off. | |
Implementing the GPS system went smoothly, according to Bradley. He appreciates being able to leverage their existing TripSpark software in order to migrate to the newer K-12 transportation software solution for scheduling and routing. And of course, support for every product in his system is only a single phone call away. | |
