When the shuttle has arrived at the student’s house, the time spent till the student taking the shuttle is calculated as “the holding time of shuttle”.

How Does It Work?

For students that are registered in the system, the shuttle fee is determined depending on the neighborhood the distance to the institution. The optimal shuttle routes are determined by calculating timing of picking/dropping students, distance, and the duration of route via Premium Google Maps. The approved routes are sent as business order to drivers. Viewing all route details, the driver starts his/her task by approving the business order. With the start of service, the information about the upcoming shuttle is sent to the next student’s parent. During this process, parents can instantly track the shuttle location via vita APP. When the shuttle has reached to the address to pick up the student, the time spent on waiting the student is calculated. After the student boarded shuttle, the status info is sent to parent via the Driver app. This system can work integrated with alternative boarding control practices including bracelet, card and finger readers. After the shuttle reached the school and dropped off students, the checking is done with one of our in-vehicle control systems and parents get informed. In case of returning from school to home, the information about student leaving the school and arriving home are sent to parents. To complete his/her daily task, the driver should check inside the vehicle and approve the end of service. In this way, student and shuttle movement tracking during service hours can be achieved securely.

In-vehicle Control Systems

After taking attendance for each student, arriving at the school, and dropping off students in the morning, the shuttle driver should complete his/her work by scanning the QR barcode, placed on the backside of the shuttle, with a smartphone or by entering the password generated by the numerator, which is creating a different password every minute. Since this checking requires the driver to move to the backside of the vehicle, it is checked whether there are any forgotten students or items. Similarly, the driver approves the completion of service by checking inside the vehicle after dropping off his/her last student from the shuttle. When the completion of service is approved, the daily tally entries for the vehicle is made on vita ERP in which calculations for progress billings are made, and parents are informed about the vehicle’s arrival to the school, and its control.
