Mobile Witness Announces App for Student Transportation Tracking

Student Accountability System app enables real-time ridership tracking for drivers

 

Ada, OH: February 12, 2013 — Mobile Witness™, an international provider of DVR and surveillance solutions, today announced a tablet and smartphone app for the Student Accountability System™ (SAS). SAS gives parents and administrators the ability to locate students in the school transportation system in real time. The new app enables drivers to view real-time ridership data and take attendance. With this information, bus drivers and administrators can find out who is on which bus in case of an emergency, locate a missing student, generate ridership reports, eliminate paper logs, and avoid students being left on a bus at the end of a run.

SAS uses the transportation-grade technology of the Mobile Witness Mobile Control Unit™, which allows for additional capabilities such as on-board cameras (for recording or live feeds), active and passive GPS tracking, and automated maintenance and safety alerts (such as when tire pressure is low or when erratic driving is detected). Mobile Witness is currently the only company that can provide all of these technologies within a single system, thereby increasing benefits, lowering total cost of ownership, and improving ROI.

Jason Szuch, President of SAY Security Group USA™, the developer of Mobile Witness solutions, commented, “We’re pleased to be adding a tablet app to our Student Accountability System to bring drivers into the ridership information loop. The new app helps them to keep our children safer by keeping drivers informed with up-to-the-minute data.”
