Due to busy work hours and tight schedules, a large number of parents depend on school vehicles for their children’s daily transportation to and from schools. But unfortunately, there are times when safety becomes an issue for children using school vehicles. This might be due to various reasons including the difficulty in managing a school bus fleet. The School Bus Attendance software was created to tackle these issues with modern day technologies such as GPS and RFID

The Unique Hardware Behind GPS School Bus Tracking Software

The best way to assure school children’s safety while travelling in the school vehicle is to employ the real-time GPS School Bus Tracking Software. It is a convenient solution that can be accessed through your personal computer or your mobile device. There are many benefits to this software apart from real-time location tracking. It helps in driver management, fleet management, reduces expenditure, and provides convenience for both parents and school management.

As a system, the GPS School Bus Tracking Software works with amazing accuracy and reliability. For any software system to work as perfectly as imagined, the hardware has to be as good or better as the written software.

Traditional GPS Tracking Hardware
The case is not different for GPS School Bus Tracking Software. Realising this, Edsys has used industry standard components for the software. GPS tracking system requires an RFID tag reader as well as a GPS tracking device. Normally, these are two separate devices that require individual installation and maintenance. It takes up extra space and time. Also, these bulky devices are not easily portable.

So, the highlight points of traditional GPS tracking devices are:

  • Separate RFID tag reader and GPS tracking device
  • Individual installation and maintenance
  • Bulky and less portable
  • Expensive
