School Bus Tracking solution - Any experience?

[dpskinner]

As the title says, I have been asked to look at some school bus tracking systems and while there are solutions out there I was interested to see if anybody is actively using such a system and whether they are any good?

What are you wanting to know?

 

If you're wanting to setup some kind of live screen with the estimated arrival etc more local transport authorities allow this is some shape or form.

Do you mean like: https://www.quartix.net/ - we don't use it but local businesses do and the feedback is good.

If you want tracking, TomTom vehicle telematics is what I would use.

Can I ask who asked you to look at this? And how do they think this comes into the remit of IT?

We used this before: https://www.rewiresecurity.co.uk/db3-odb-gps-tracking-device-glonass

 

Seemed to work ok, there is a monthly fee for the data sim (4.99)

We use CHQ for activity bookings and parents evenings and have bought the transport module which includes the ability to track buses. We haven't started using it yet but worth a look.

Just out of interest how are you getting on with CHQ, especially the Bus Tracking?
