School buses control with Galileosky trackers

Project background

The fleet has more than 300 buses to transport children. These buses can carry op to 40 passengers. It was almost impossible to control all routes using waybills and phone communications only. The problem is that drivers could leave the route illegally and use buses for personal purposes. Provided that mobile communication isn’t available throughout the region, and the temperature in some areas can drop to -40℃, any abnormal situation could lead to delays, and there was also a potential danger to human health and the machinery condition.

Thus, the main project challenges are

Challenges

• Track school buses. Both with children and without;
• Ensure stable system performance even at low temperatures
• Install panic buttons on all vehicles

Solution

Integrator engineers used the previous flagship - Galileosky Base Block devices. Now the Galileosky 7x Hub modification from the new range supports wider functionality and is as reliable as Base Block units.

The entire bus fleet was equipped not only with tracking devices, but also with panic buttons. They are installed to notify the dispatcher about such abnormal situations as: technical equipment malfunction or any threat to driver and children safety. When clicking on the button, the Wialon server receives a notification with the exact location and time. After that, the circumstances of the alarm are clarified and the specialists decide on further actions.
