Every journey

Complete visibility for every school journey

School transportation requires more than simply knowing where the bus is.

SKYTRACK helps schools and transport operators monitor:

  1. Bus location
  2. Route progress
  3. Stops
  4. Arrival and departure times
  5. Student boarding
  6. Student exit
  7. Driver activity
  8. Delays

On board

Know who is on board, and what happens on the way

  1. Students with school bags boarding a yellow school bus on a misty morning

    Student identification

    Know when each student enters and exits the bus.

    Students can be identified when boarding or leaving the school bus using compatible identification technologies.

    This helps schools maintain a digital record of:

    • Student boarding
    • Student exit
    • Bus used
    • Date and time
    • Location
    • Assigned route
  2. A student stepping off a school bus beside a school bus stop sign

    Student attendance visibility

    Student boarding and exit information creates a transportation attendance history.

    Administrators can review:

    • Which students boarded
    • Which students exited
    • When the event occurred
    • Which vehicle was used
    • Which route was active
    • Where the event took place
  3. The back of a yellow school bus, its emergency door between red and amber lights

    Instant alerts

    SKYTRACK can generate alerts based on predefined transportation events.

    Examples include:

    • Bus leaves the route
    • Bus exceeds a speed limit
    • Student does not board
    • Student exits at an unexpected location
    • Vehicle stops unexpectedly
    • Bus arrives late
    • Panic button activated
    • Device goes offline

    School bus cameras

    Compatible camera solutions can be integrated for additional visibility and security.

    Depending on the configuration, cameras can monitor:

    • Road
    • Driver
    • Passenger cabin
    • Vehicle surroundings
  5. A yellow school bus crossing an open car park under a cloudy sky

    Historical trips & reports

    Review previous journeys and transportation activity whenever required.

    Historical information can include:

    • Route history
    • Stops
    • Arrival times
    • Departure times
    • Student boarding
    • Student exits
    • Driver activity
    • Alerts
    • Vehicle events
