Collins Bus debuted its new low-floor Type-A school bus. Dubbed by the company “the most accessible mode of school bus transportation,” the Collins Bus Low-Floor fea- tures an integrated 1:6 slope ramp and requires neither lifts nor multiple step entrances. This safe and easy option for young and special needs students can carry 15 passengers in all, including up to three wheelchairs.


Integrating key software and hardware through


Edulog and IC Bus’s new and enhanced OnCommand Connection will give school districts visibility into vehicle health with a premium fleet manager and provide them with end-to-end information management solutions and services to keep buses running safely, reliably, and on-time. Solutions include pre- and post-trip inspection reporting, advanced remote diagnostics, route-based navigation, parent portal and student ridership, and driver gamification. IC Bus also demonstrated a 360-degree loading zone


camera that mounts in the driver’s rearview mirror when the loading doors are open, as well as new easier-to-operate passenger windows with redesigned finger latches and more robust frames and joints to prevent binding and twisting.


GPSi announced a partnership with TomTom to offer the


TomTom BRIDGE device that offers turn-by-turn voice direc- tions, electronic trip logging, vehicle inspection, fuel usage, route tracking, driver assignments and more. The company explained the goal of the BRIDGE is to “help increase safety and provide drivers with more efficiency and convenience.”


The new Helium Seat by HSM Transportation Solutions will soon be available in several Collins Bus models. “The


industry’s lightest transit seat,” the Helium Seat is ideal for trips short or long. Reclining backs, molded armrests, two- or three-point seat belts, and many upholstery finishes are just some of the things you can choose to customize this seat for your transportation needs. Springs and cushions for comfort are added into every seat, and the backs feature lumbar support and a thin frame for added leg room in the bus.


Intermotive presented TransitCheck, a streamlined tablet-based system for bus inspection. TransitCheck can be used for


pre- and post-trip checks, as well as routine weekly or monthly maintenance. The school or agency requesting the inspec- tion can customize what they want checked. Administrators can receive instant notice and photos of items that did not pass inspection. Number of checks and the time to complete them is recorded, and an e-signature and picture of the inspector can be required. The reports can be saved on the tablet being used and also in the cloud. TransitCheck works with tablets with certain minimum specifications.


The DispatchPlus app frompdvWireless allows users to convert their existing tablets into a push-to-talk device. The com-


pany said the built-in receiver and speaker allow the operator to hold down one button to make a call. Dispatch Plus also requires no extra equipment or additional installation fees.


REI debuted its new HD5 Series DVRs. The company said this state-of- the art surveillance technology maximizes record time on school buses with triple streaming technology, which means each video stream can be configured with different resolution, frame rate, bitrate and codec type, for added flexibility. REI said this saves time and money with easy wireless upgrades, accommodates current equipment by being backwards compatible and increases flexibility and scalability.
