S
chool districts face more pressure than ever to protect students, support drivers and reduce preventable accidents, noted Richie Howard, An- gelTrax president and CEO.
“Smart camera technology has evolved from simply
recording video during an incident to actively helping prevent accidents before they happen through the use of AI windshield-mounted camera systems,” he said. Systems transcend traditional video recording by ac-
tively analyzing driver behavior, and alerting drivers and transportation managers when unsafe driving is detected. The most advanced cabin-facing cameras are equipped
with AI-capable software with advanced analytics to iden- tify unsafe driving behaviors in real time, enabling districts to identify risky driving patterns earlier and use real data and video to improve safety outcomes, Howard said. The AngelTrax Vulcan Series IPWSAICAM Windshield
Dual Camera with AI includes an integrated six-axis ac- celerometer capable of tagging the video and/or sending alerts if the vehicle exceeds a pre-determined G-Force threshold.
“Its powerful AI processor provides collision warnings,
detects phone use, following too closely and seatbelt use,” he continued. “For school bus configurations, the camera is used in conjunction with the AngelTrax Vul- can Series V1284HC Mobile DVR, a 12-channel system with eight HD channels up to 1080P and four IP chan- nels up to 1080P, allowing up to 10 additional camera views to ensure total camera coverage of the bus’s inte- rior and exterior.” The solution provides optimal data, image and video
security protected by AngelTrax system administrators with no third parties in the company’s SOC 2 Type II compliant data center, Howard noted. Smart cameras and AI-enabled video technology
are rapidly transforming safety and security in student transportation, noted Robert Horvath, 247Security senior manager for marketing and innovation. “Modern school bus video systems now go far beyond
simple recording devices. They can actively help identify risks, improve driver awareness and provide transpor- tation departments with valuable tools to better protect
