Features
These are the capabilities Igloobuzz provides across tracking, student identification, the school dashboard, the parent application, alerting and reporting. Which of them apply to a given institution is decided during requirement analysis — the solution is configured, not shipped as a fixed package.
Buses tracked in real time across the fleet on advanced 4G GPS devices.
Advanced 4G-enabled GPS tracking devices provide reliable, real-time vehicle tracking. The tracking solution is configured according to the school’s fleet size and transportation requirements.
The current position of each bus, visible from the dashboard and the parent app.
Live vehicle location is available to the school transportation team through the dashboard, and to authorised parents through the mobile application where the school enables it.
Actual movement compared against the assigned bus route.
Each bus is monitored against its assigned route, which is what makes deviation detectable rather than something a school finds out about afterwards.
An alert when a bus departs from its assigned route.
Route deviation alerts are raised to the school transportation team, so a bus taking an unexpected path is noticed while the trip is still running.
Geofences around the school and stops, with alerts on entry and exit.
Geofencing turns arrival and departure into events the system records automatically, and geofence alerts surface them to the transportation team.
Speed monitored across the fleet, with speed alerts and speed reports.
Speed monitoring produces alerts to the transportation team during a trip and speed reports afterwards, giving a school something measurable to review.
Where a bus stopped, and for how long.
Stop and halt monitoring records the stops a bus made during a trip, feeding both live visibility and the stop and halt reports.
Which buses are active and which are inactive, at a glance.
Vehicle status shows the transportation team which buses are currently running and which are not, without contacting drivers to find out.
Completed journeys retained and reviewable.
Trip history and vehicle history are retained, so a specific journey can be reviewed after the fact rather than reconstructed from memory.
Each student assigned an RFID card or tag.
RFID technology integrated with GPS bus tracking provides student-level transportation monitoring: student identification, bus identification, boarding, journey, drop-off.
Bus boarding and student drop-off recorded with time, bus number and route.
The system records the bus boarding, the student drop-off, the boarding time, the drop-off time, the bus number and the route information for each student.
Transportation attendance generated from the RFID record.
Attendance for the transportation operation comes from the RFID record rather than being entered by hand, and feeds the student transportation reports.
Which student travels on which bus and route, visible to the school.
Student transportation information gives schools greater visibility of student movement during transportation, from the dashboard and in reports.
One platform to monitor and manage the transportation operation.
A centralised platform giving school administration live bus location, active and inactive buses, bus routes, trip status and vehicle history in one place.
Driver and vehicle details held against each bus.
Driver and vehicle information is available from the dashboard alongside the live operational view, so the transportation team is not looking it up elsewhere.
Buses, routes, stops and student allocations configured to your operation.
Bus and route management is one of the core solution components, covering how the fleet is organised and which students are allocated to which route.
Dashboard for administrators, app for parents, mobile or desktop for other users.
Access is provided through the school dashboard for administrators and transportation teams, the parent mobile application for authorised parents, and mobile or desktop access for designated users and operational teams.
The bus on a map, with route information, where the school enables it.
Parents can see live bus location and bus route information through the mobile application. What is visible is configured according to the school’s requirements and policies.
When the bus is expected, so nobody waits at the stop guessing.
Estimated bus arrival is available to parents through the application, alongside bus movement notifications as the vehicle progresses along the route.
Bus movement notifications, trip status, alerts and emergency information.
The application can deliver bus movement notifications, trip status, alerts and notifications, and emergency information, configured to the school’s policy.
Confirmation of the child’s boarding and drop-off, where RFID is deployed.
Where RFID student tracking is part of the solution, boarding and drop-off information for the child can be surfaced to parents through the application.
Emergency alerts directed to designated administrators or authorised users.
Depending on system configuration, an alert can carry the bus number, GPS location, time, alert information, vehicle details and camera access.
Camera integration for visibility inside and around school buses.
CCTV camera and live streaming can be integrated with GPS tracking and RFID to build a more comprehensive school bus safety and surveillance solution.
Voice communication with the vehicle as part of a fuller safety configuration.
Two-way communication is one of the technologies Igloobuzz can integrate alongside GPS tracking, RFID, CCTV, live streaming and SOS.
Reports generated by the platform rather than compiled by hand.
Automated MIS reports cover the transportation operation, and customised MIS can be built to the institution’s own reporting requirement.
Daily trip, vehicle movement, route and trip history reports.
Daily trip reports, vehicle movement reports, route reports and trip history give the transportation team a record of how the operation actually ran.
Reporting on speed, geofence events and stops.
Speed reports, geofence reports and stop and halt reports turn the alerts raised during trips into something reviewable over a period.
Student RFID, boarding and drop-off reporting.
Student RFID reports, boarding reports and drop-off reports give schools a student-level record of the transportation operation.
How the fleet is actually being used.
Vehicle utilisation reporting supports decisions about how many buses a route needs and whether the fleet is sized correctly.
A working walkthrough of the school dashboard, the parent application, RFID student tracking and the reports.
