ADVERTISMENT
Protect students and service. Light-duty tracking beyond the yellow bus.
Tracking 90% of your student transportation fleet doesn’t show what’s happening with the other 10%.
True fleetwide efficiency requires fleetwide visibility. As part of a complete telematics suite, a light-duty telematics control unit (LD TCU) provides basic track-and-trace and vehicle data. All of which enable adding and managing light-duty vehicles next to school buses.
Many districts are adding light-duty vehicles to expand driver options without CDL requirements. And using LD TCU data to enhance service and support for students with special transportation needs.
Keep students safe, pick-up to drop-off. LD TCU data shows how a vehicle is driven, when and where, and provides core diagnostics.
• Address risky driving habits such as speeding. • Prevent breakdowns with healthier vehicles. • Adjust routes for maximum safety, such as aligning stops so doors open on the correct side of the street.
Include LD GPS and telematics data in emergency planning. Know each vehicle’s exact location in real time to quickly dispatch or reroute appropriate backup transport for students with special needs. And know where to direct emergency personnel who need a precise location, now.
Protect vehicle health. Check engine lights only indicate a problem. An LD TCU captures Level 1 and Level 2 proprietary OEM diagnostic data that tells what the problem actually is. Identify maintenance needs early to avoid breakdowns and unexpected downtime.
Optimize each route and stop. Planning takes efficiency only so far. Travel rates may not be as anticipated. And some routes look good on paper but are undrivable in the real world.
LD TCU data provides insights to go further using actual, real-time vehicle location, trip history, distance, idling, stopping, and some driver behavior.
• Plan ahead more accurately based on data. • Adjust routes dynamically for events such as emergencies and new construction.
• Uncover route issues maps don’t show, such as poor road conditions.
• Minimize vehicle wear-and-tear, extend their lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs.
• Tune road speeds for more accurate timing based on real-time rates of travel.
Also uncover ghost stops. When a vehicle regularly rolls by slowly or doesn’t stop long enough for a student to board, that stop might be an empty waste of time, labor, and fuel.
Answer concerned callers, faster. LD TCU GPS provides precise, real-time location and performance data viewable online. When parents call looking for their child’s vehicle, put them at ease faster. And when members of the community call with concerns, look up that vehicle’s location, trip history, and speed to confirm how it’s really being driven.
Open more paths to efficiency. Regularly audit and optimize routes to enhance reliability and operational efficiency.
• Address idling to reduce fuel use. • Create use case scenarios for better utilization. • Avoid overcapacity and empty seats. • Reduce unnecessary miles and drivetime.
