It occurred to me this morning as I was driving my daughter to school and saw the school buses driving by and kids waiting in the cold, that it would be a useful application of GPS fleet tracking to install them on school buses.
The parents and kids could check the website to see if the bus was on schedule before leaving the house to stand in the cold. I remember as a kid with a long rural bus ride standing in the rain for what seemed hours when the bus was delayed by traffic, mechanical failure, cows in the road, etc.
It would also be very useful for the bus driver to be able to send messages to the families when a pick-up or deliver may be delayed. It would note be hard. The school knows there are 43 bus stops, the current location of the bus, and that there will be a delay in dropping the kids off at 17 stops. A quick alert could be sent to the remaining 17 families.
When you start considering the utility of GPS fleet tracking, there can be a million benefits.
