### [The Ultimate Guide to Protect Students in the School Bus "Danger Zone"](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-protect-students-in-the-school-bus-danger-zone/)
**Published:** June 15, 2026
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
While the yellow school bus is designed to be the safest vehicle on the road, the ten feet of pavement surrounding it during the loading and unloading of students tells a different story.
Statistically, [students are 70 times more likely](https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/school-bus-safety) to arrive at school safely when riding inside the bus than when traveling by passenger car—yet that safety disappears the moment they step onto the curb. This high-stakes environment, known as the Danger Zone, is where most school bus-related injuries occur, often involving motorists who fail to stop or blind spots that hide small children from view.
To protect students, we have to understand the risks they face anytime they’re outside the bus—whether waiting at the stop, crossing the street, or boarding and exiting.
This guide explores the dangers of this critical area and the proactive technologies designed to close the safety gap.
### 1. The Reality of the Danger Zone
Two primary threats define the Danger Zone as a high-risk environment: distracted drivers passing or approaching the bus, and visibility limitations that make it difficult to see children around it.
#### The Scale of Illegal Passing
Every school day, an estimated [251,000 illegal pass-bys occur](https://www.safefleet.net/illegal-passing-suite/). Over a standard 180‑day school year, that represents more than 45 million instances where children are exposed to drivers who ignored or missed a stop‑arm. The tragedy of these stop-arm violations is that they are entirely preventable, yet they remain the leading cause of student injury during loading/unloading.
#### The Visibility Gap
Because of their size, school buses have significant blind spots directly in front, behind, and along the sides. According to National Safety Council data, school‑age children face the greatest risk during loading and unloading, when they are outside the bus and most vulnerable—often because they are simply not seen by drivers.
### 2. How to Address the Illegal Passing Crisis?
Safe Fleet addresses these risks through the Illegal Passing Suite—a multi‑layered safety approach designed to change driver behavior and protect students during the most dangerous moments of their commute.
At the core of the suite is SAVES (Safe Fleet’s Automated Stop‑Arm Violation Enforcement System), which detects illegal pass‑bys, captures evidentiary video, and plays a direct role in the citation process. The system packages each violation for review and helps automate enforcement after a multi‑step validation process involving AI analysis, civilian review, and law enforcement approval.
Together, the suite delivers a coordinated approach across three stages: Prevention, Proactive Protection, and Accountability.
#### The Risk: Driver Inattention
Many drivers don't ignore stop arms out of malice; they simply don't see the bus in time to react.
- **The Solution:** [The Illuminated Stop Arm](https://www.safefleet.net/illegal-passing-suite/) and [Driver Alert Sign](https://www.safefleet.net/illegal-passing-suite/).
- **How they work:** By combining high-intensity LED illumination with advanced visual signaling, both solutions work together to capture driver attention earlier and more effectively.
The Illuminated Stop Arm enhances the visibility of the bus’s stop signal with bright LEDs and reflective prismatic decals, making the “STOP” message noticeable from up to 250 yards away.
Complementing this, the Driver Alert Sign adds an additional visual cue mounted on the rear or side of the bus, reinforcing the stop requirement and drawing attention from approaching motorists who may have missed the stop arm alone.
Together, these solutions provide the critical seconds drivers need to recognize the situation, process the command, and come to a safe stop well before reaching the bus.
#### The Risk: The "Point of No Return"
Once a driver fails to stop, the situation becomes immediately more dangerous for students in the Danger Zone.
- **The Solution:** [Predictive Stop Arm™ (PSA).](https://www.safefleet.net/illegal-passing-suite/)
- **How it works:** This is the industry’s primary proactive safety measure. Using patented radar to monitor up to three lanes of traffic, the PSA analyzes approaching vehicles and uses AI to identify when a driver is unlikely to stop.
In response, it broadcasts a loud, verbal “Stop, Get Back” warning to nearby students—giving them 3–4 critical seconds to move away from the roadway and out of harm’s way.
#### The Risk: Lack of Accountability
Without enforcement, illegal passing often goes unreported and unpunished, leaving drivers without consequences for dangerous behavior.
- **The Solution:** The Safe Fleet Stop Arm Violation Enforcement System™ (SAVES)
- **How it works:** Automatically activated when the stop arm is deployed, this AI‑powered system monitors up to four lanes of traffic using a synchronized multi‑camera configuration. It detects illegal pass‑bys, uses Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) to identify violating vehicles, and captures high‑definition contextual video—including a coordinated view of the bus door—to document the risk to students.
Each incident is compiled into a complete evidence package and validated through a multi-step review process involving AI analysis, trained civilian reviewers, and law enforcement. Once approved, the system automatically issues a citation—creating a consistent, enforceable process that helps deter future illegal passing
### 3. Added Security: Enhancing Driver Awareness
While the Illegal Passing Suite addresses external traffic behavior, the solutions below focus on what the bus driver sees from inside the vehicle—helping ensure no child is ever hidden in a blind spot.
#### Eliminating Blind Spots
The structural design of a bus—specifically the A-pillars—can hide a small child during a turn.
- **InView 360HD™ Around Vehicle Monitoring (AVM):** This system uses multiple cameras to create a stitched, bird’s-eye view of the vehicle’s perimeter, displayed on an in-cab monitor. It allows the driver to see every inch of the Danger Zone in real time, effectively eliminating blind spots during loading and unloading.
- [**MirrorLESS Vision System:**](https://www.safefleet.net/mirrorless-camera-vision-mirror-system/) This system supplements traditional side mirrors with high-definition cameras that provide a clear, digital view of the areas around the bus, displayed on in-cab monitors. Unlike conventional mirrors, these camera views remain consistent in low light and are not affected by glare, rain, or snow.
- When integrated with ThruView Assist™, a camera vision system designed to help drivers see beyond the A and B pillars of the cab, the system goes a step further. By displaying this extended field of view on an in-cab monitor, it allows drivers to effectively “see through” the body of the bus during left-hand turns—revealing pedestrians or vehicles that would otherwise be hidden from view.
#### Coaching Better Habits
The most critical safety component on any bus is the driver.
- [**Duet AI:**](https://www.safefleet.net/ai-based-driver-behavior-monitoring-system-for-school-bus/) This intelligent driver behavior system uses AI to detect fatigue, distraction, phone use, and harsh maneuvers. Drivers receive immediate alerts for real-time self-correction, while the cloud-connected cameras capture critical context to help investigate incidents and support professional driver growth through targeted coaching.
### Building a Roadmap to Zero
A layered safety strategy offers the best path to zero fatalities. Integrating high-visibility signage, proactive AI warnings, and comprehensive camera coverage creates a safety net that protects every student, every day.

### [How Host Cities Keep Bus Routes Moving for FIFA World Cup 2026](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-host-cities-keep-bus-routes-moving-for-fifa-world-cup-2026/)
**Published:** June 11, 2026
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Imagine a typical Monday morning in an urban center like New York, Toronto, or Mexico City. The subways are full, buses are crawling through traffic, and curbsides are a chaotic puzzle of delivery trucks and ride-shares.
Now, add the [2026 FIFA World Cup](https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026).
This tournament represents a logistical mountain for North American host cities, which are bracing for a massive volume of humanity. An estimated [6.5 million ticketed fans](https://news.az/news/world-cup-2026-record-tourism-and-economic-gains-expected) will head to stadiums, while millions of additional non-ticketed visitors will travel to be part of the atmosphere at Fan Festivals and local watch parties.
In 2026, the tournament will turn 16 host cities into high-pressure environments. With updated projections estimating a global GDP impact of [over $40 billion](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2026/04/fifa-world-cup-sports-economy-growth/), the stakes are massive. Success depends on many moving parts, but a primary factor is how well a city can protect its dedicated transit space—keeping bus routes moving and efficient even under extreme demand from residents and this massive influx of visitors.
For a host city like Toronto, an estimated [300,000 additional visitors](https://www.toronto.ca/news/city-of-toronto-releases-fifa-world-cup-2026-mobility-plan/) are expected to descend on the urban core, a surge comparable to hosting six consecutive Taylor Swift Eras Tour residencies.
### The Invisible Logistics of a Match Day
To logistics professionals, a stadium operates like a beating heart. For game day to succeed, that heart must pump efficiently moving thousands of staff, security teams, vendors, and fans within a narrow two-hour window. When the arteries––bus lanes and transit corridors—become congested, circulation slows, delays ripple outward, and the entire system falters.
Transit agencies face three main obstacles that can ruin the rhythm:
1. The "Just for a Second" Delivery: A food truck delivering jerseys or stadium snacks blocks a dedicated bus lane. This forces a 40-foot bus to merge into general traffic, causing a ripple effect of delays that can set an entire route back 20 minutes.
2. The Ride-Share Tangle: Unfamiliar visitors call for Ubers and Lyfts, which often stop in bus zones or active transit lanes, also contributing to more vehicles on the road.
3. The Perimeter Deadlock: As security perimeters tighten around stadiums, traffic is diverted. This puts unprecedented pressure on the remaining open lanes, making every square inch of dedicated transit space more valuable than gold.
### Leveraging an AI-powered Referee
To manage this pressure, rather than relying solely on traditional boots-on-the-ground enforcement—which is difficult to scale during a month-long global event—equipped cities are implementing a layered strategy of expanded transit priority and modernized traffic management.
A growing part of this strategy is the use of Automated Vehicle Detection systems. By mounting smart cameras directly onto transit vehicles, cities can turn their fleets into a mobile traffic monitoring network.
As buses move along their routes, these systems continuously scan for obstructions helping ensure dedicated transit lanes remain clear for high-capacity travel.
How the concept works in action:
- Real-Time Detection: Using Artificial Intelligence, the system flags violations when two separate buses document the exact same stationary vehicle blocking a dedicated transit route in the same location.
- The Virtual Perimeter: Using city‑defined maps and rules, Automated Vehicle Detection systems enforce virtual perimeters around restricted transit zones—ensuring violations are consistently detected and addressed where and when restrictions apply.
- Behavioral Change: The ultimate goal is long-term compliance. When drivers realize transit lanes are actively monitored, behavior shifts. In cities where automated enforcement is deployed, repeat violations drop significantly; most drivers only need one "yellow card" to learn the rules.
### The ClearLane Advantage: Winning the Long Game
While the concept of automated enforcement is the playbook, Safe Fleet ClearLane™ is the elite athlete that executes it.
ClearLane is an intelligent Automated Vehicle Detection system that turns transit buses into mobile enforcement units through a combination of AI‑powered cameras and GPS‑based location tracking.
ClearLane is a flexible enforcement platform that enables both Automated Bus Lane Enforcement (ABLE) and Automated Camera Enforcement (ACE). Agencies can deploy the system to keep dedicated bus lanes clear and moving or extend enforcement to curbside spaces like bike lanes and bus stops to ensure they remain accessible and unobstructed.
Why ClearLane stands apart:
- High-Precision Positioning: Unlike standard GPS that struggles in "urban canyons," ClearLane uses edge processing and inertial sensors to maintain accuracy. This ensures continuous tracking through tunnels or between skyscrapers using dead reckoning.
- The "All-in-One" Evidence Package: Utilizing ALPR and context cameras, ClearLane automatically captures and bundles high-definition photos of the violating vehicle, the license plate, a video of the violation, and the exact timestamp into a secure file. This makes the "offside" call indisputable for local authorities.
- Seamless Integration: Operators/drivers can focus entirely on navigating heavy event traffic. The system works fully in the background with zero driver interaction, adding no extra buttons, tasks, or distractions to their daily workflow.
- Fairness, Resilience, and Integrity: ClearLane uses a multi-bus verification protocol to confirm violations and resilient "Edge" intelligence to prevent system failure. All evidence is protected by SOC 2 Type 2 security and stored in Azure Government cloud infrastructure, meeting FBI-grade criminal justice standards.
- Smart City Foundation: Beyond the World Cup, ClearLane acts as a data hub, helping cities see where and why their lanes are being blocked so they can fix infrastructure long after the trophy is raised.
Safe Fleet helps to keep your operations seamless and secure under the heaviest peak demands, from the FIFA World Cup to any high-volume event. Gain improved visibility, reduce your risks, and respond faster when every second counts.
## Is your city ready for the rush?

### [The 5 Reasons to Invest in Transit Bus Cameras](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-5-reasons-to-invest-in-transit-bus-cameras/)
**Published:** October 4, 2012
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
It’s no question that transit bus cameras are a “must-have” for the transit industry; they are an essential investment and provide useful information that transportation managers value. Check out what we think are the top 5 reasons transit bus cameras are an important investment:
### 1. Prevent Costly Litigation
Cameras can provide the video evidence needed to prevent costly legal suits. Often, if a complainant finds out cameras recorded an event onboard, they are less likely to file a false injury claim — helping you save time and money.
### 2. Facilitate Driver Training
Video clips can be created to use in driver training to show examples of good (and bad) driving habits. Video viewing software allows you to see additional telemetry information recorded by the DVR, such as braking, turn signals, vehicle speed, and GPS location, as you review the video.
### 3. Accident Reconstruction
Interior and exterior bus cameras can be an important tool in accident reconstruction. Retrieve key details about an accident using video synchronized with valuable data on vehicle handling (i.e. excessive braking or hard turns). High-definition (HD) quality cameras can capture license plate detail across a wider field of view — perfect for accident reconstruction.
### 4. No more, “He Said, She Said”
Transit bus cameras let you see and hear (if cameras provide audio) what really happened, from every angle. Do not rely just on passenger complaints or driver reports. Get real video evidence marked with date, time, and location of an event for your peace of mind.
### 5. Emergency Preparedness
Most public transit organizations today are putting together detailed response plans in case of terrorist attacks or threats to passenger security. Security cameras on the bus are an important part of these plans. Live viewing capabilities of DVRs can assist in getting real-time information on what’s happening inside the bus in these particular situations.
As public transit is a valuable part of our society, transit bus cameras help provide the knowledge and evidence needed when the unthinkable happens. Bus cameras are key to helping resolve questionable events and discover the truth — not only that, but they may prevent issues from happening in the first place.

### [Planning Ahead for Technology Change - Part 2](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/planning-ahead-for-technology-change-part-2/)
**Published:** May 18, 2016
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
### Four Ways to Increase the Life of Your Video System
In the [first part of our blog article “Planning Ahead for Technology Change”](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/planning-ahead-for-technology-change-part-1/), we discussed reasons and timing for the upgrade of your video surveillance system. When your equipment is relatively new or you don’t have budget for an upgrade, there are a few strategies you can use to extend the life of your existing system.
1. ### Preventive Maintenance
Preventative maintenance is the key to a longer equipment lifespan. You wouldn’t own a vehicle and not check the oil regularly. Much like any vehicle, there are a few things you should do on a regular basis to ensure your systems are performing as expected. In fact, we highly recommend that you schedule these checks along with the normal vehicle maintenance schedule.
The first step is adding a few checks to your driver pre-trip inspection. When they turn on the bus, they should check that the video recorder is working. For example, on Seon’s systems this is easily done by checking that the video recorder indicator light is solid green. Drivers should also walk through and around the bus to check cameras for obstructions, tampering or smudges that would prevent a clear image from being recorded. Finally, if the indicator light shows a problem they should check that the DVR is locked and a hard drive is in place. Set up a process for reporting problems and getting them fixed in a timely manner.
Adding a few items to your regular maintenance routines will also help you keep your surveillance systems in tip-top shape. We have a 5-minute test that we recommend adding to regular bus maintenance. First, clear any dust or obstructions on the DVR fan to ensure the unit doesn’t overheat, since excessive heat is a big premature killer for electronics. Next, make sure that the time is correct on the DVR. Unless you have a GPS unit connected to the DVR, time can tend to drift by several minutes over the course of a year. GPS will synchronize the accurate time and eliminate this step. Finally, do a camera view test.
One way to check camera views is to walk through the bus and tap once on each camera, then either plug in the monitor and playback last few minutes to check camera views. The second method is easier, but requires wireless or automatic download capabilities. You can schedule a 1-minute clip to be automatically downloaded on a regular basis to check from the comfort of your office.
2. ### Auto-Downloads
Speaking of auto-downloads, having this capability not only helps you check camera views, it can also extend the life of your hard drives and DVRs.
When you have to go out to the bus to remove a hard drive to view video, a number of things can happen. The hard drive could get dropped & damaged or go missing en route. It could get lost in a pile on your desk, or it could easily be forgotten and not taken back to the bus and replaced in the DVR – which means the DVR won’t record anything the next time the bus is rolling. To add to this, removing the hard drive is time consuming. So if resources are stretched and you don’t have a dedicated person to do this, the more likely that hard drive loss is going to occur.
Automatically downloading video means you don’t have to remove the hard drive and there is no chance of it being damaged, lost, or not replaced, which ultimately extends the life of the hard drive – one of the weakest links in your video system.
3. ### Manage System Health
One more way to extend the life of your surveillance systems is by pro-actively monitoring your system health. [Video management software](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-software/) not only helps manage and download video, but can give you full insight on the condition of your equipment to be sure that everything is working properly. The convenient dashboard reports the health of each camera, hard drive and GPS units on every bus. If there are any issues, the system can also run historical reports on when it happened. All your maintenance priorities will be highlighted, so you won’t miss anything.
In addition to pro-active health monitoring, video management software combined with wireless network infrastructure can improve the ability to respond to requests for video from law enforcement, by allowing you to search for video by geographic location instead of just date and time.
4. ### Choose a reliable vendor
Finally, it’s worth mentioning that not all equipment is created equal. From our experience, the lifespan of the video system could vary widely based on the vendor selection. As a rule of thumb, cheap is not good, and good is not cheap. Be suspicious of warranty periods less than 2 years or lack of experience. Invest in a reputable company with previous experience and a track record for support and performance. The equipment should be rigorously tested, and certified for a mobile environment. Make sure you check references to determine vendor suitability. And don’t forget to look for customer testimonials or reviews.
By integrating these strategies in your fleet operations, you can extend the life of your video system and save on maintenance costs, leaving more in the budget for other priorities.

### [Planning Ahead for Technology Change - Part 1](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/planning-ahead-for-technology-change-part-1/)
**Published:** May 13, 2016
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
In a discussion about the success of the state-wide video implementation, **Ben Garrison**, Project Manager at the North Carolina Department of Transportation, once said: “When people board our buses they have an expectation of safety… having video surveillance is a pro-active approach to ensure safety down the road.” By implementing surveillance solutions on their fleets, transit agencies tremendously improve the quality of their services and the security of their passengers and drivers. But what if technology implemented years ago fails? Or what if your security team requires much more capabilities today than they did in the past to resolve issues?
When customers expect outstanding services, how much risk can your team allow and when is the right time to upgrade? Here are some strategies that will help you assess your current equipment and make the right decision that will save you both time and resources.
### Two Reasons to Upgrade
### Reason #1. Aging Systems = More Maintenance Time & Money
Aging systems have a higher potential for video being not recorded. The costs of it happening to your agency can be enormous while your expectation of safety is shattered. Just consider what happens if you don’t have a recorded video in any of these scenarios: injury claims, worker’s comp claims, accident at-fault, crime, or vandalism. Is it worth the risk?
When an incident happens on the road or on the bus, the last thing any transportation manager wants to hear is that their on-board video system didn’t capture what happened. When reliability is at the top of your list, maintenance of the aging system might cost you much more than upgrading to a new one. In addition to that, you’ll sleep much better knowing that your video coverage is always available when needed.
### Reason #2. Technology Advances
While aging systems have extreme implications, another reason to upgrade is to take advantage of key technological advances that may not have been available when you first purchased your system, or you didn’t have the budget for them. If you look at the development of video surveillance technology following consumer electronics advancement, the trends are: an increasing number of cameras, movement from recording in analog to digital, Wi-Fi downloading, live GPS tracking and even live streaming.
Depending on when you first purchased your equipment and what your current priorities are, you may need to upgrade to introduce some of these new technologies.
### But when is exactly the right time to upgrade?
Well, that really depends on the needs of your organization, the expected lifespan of your equipment and your available budget.
Consider the level of upgrade you’d like to make by looking at the spectrum between the equipment purchase and equipment end of life. Your organization’s technology adoption level will often dictate where this falls on the spectrum.
Let’s use the iPhone as an illustration. You buy a new iPhone and it could probably last you about three years barring an untimely death from drowning or dropping. But whether you choose to upgrade varies on a number of factors such as when the warranty expires, your cellphone carrier plan restrictions, and your patience for obsolete software or limited functionality. When you should upgrade also varies by person. If I always want the latest and greatest I will probably upgrade after a year. If I’m cheap, I’ll keep it until it breaks. The right answer is probably somewhere in between.
For a video surveillance system a typical warranty period is 3 years, although new models of DVRs come out every 1-2 years, and most reputable suppliers will support a DVR model for up to 7 years. Beyond that point it is difficult to find parts to fix components of the system.
Consider also some of the weakest links in your system: in most cases you will need to replace hard drives sooner than a DVR or cameras.
Finding the optimal time to upgrade depends on the technology your fleet has and its capacity to do what you want to do today. If you bought equipment in 2005, it is likely not compatible with live streaming software available today. Also, keep in mind how your equipment aligns with the current security concerns of your agency.
### How to Budget for Updates
It’s always better to allocate and secure funding for equipment replacement or upgrades before the initial purchase. Create a camera replacement schedule much like your vehicle replacement and build this into your capital investment plan.
When it comes down to budget, you’ll need to weigh the risks of video loss against the cost of investing in upgrades. Consider that just like any other equipment, the cost of repair increases over time especially after the warranty expires.
Before making your initial purchase discuss and decide what your ideal life span is and build this into your ROI calculations and justifications for purchase.
Next – build a roadmap for what you will upgrade at what time. For example, you might decide to add a DVR with six cameras on each bus in Year 1 and add four more cameras to each bus in Year 3. Or, you might want to add live video streaming in Year 2.
Finally, secure in advance the capital budget to replace equipment as it nears its optimal end-of-life.
Planning ahead will save you money. In the example we just gave, the plan is to add cameras as budget allows. If you don’t invest in a DVR that can record more video channels, when it comes time to upgrade, you may find you also need to spend more money to replace the DVR too. Or if you want to add live streaming a few years later, you need to make sure your DVR and firmware are compatible with that service.
These strategies work well for our customers and we hope it will help you too. In the next part of [“Planning Ahead for Technology Change”](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/planning-ahead-for-technology-change-part-2/) we will talk about increasing the life of your existing video system to keep it in the best condition possible.

Transit agencies use video evidence to reduce liability and provide an extra layer of safety and security for bus operators and passengers. Video helps provide a clear and accurate story of events on the bus and how the bus interacts with pedestrians and other vehicles.
But video on its own, without the ability to download footage based on operator-submitted or event-based alerts, or being able to determine the status (online/offline) of your system, poses new problems and pain points for an agency.
Here are 5 key transit pain points and how Safe Fleet’s Wireless Downloading helps solve them.
### 1. Offline systems and not knowing they are offline
This is a common concern. Not only is it frustrating to look for footage and find it’s not there, it can be extremely costly if that footage is needed to refute a false claim. When footage is missing or damaged, an agency may not be able to dispute the claim effectively.
Safe Fleet’s wireless downloading provides a view of the health of the entire video system right down to the media files, recorders, and cameras.
### 2. Lost, damaged or misplaced media files
The act of physically removing video media files from buses, circulating them among office staff for viewing and re-installing them can easily result in lost, misplaced and damaged files.
Worst case is critical footage is missing and the agency bears the cost of not supplying a key piece in a defense claim. Best case is the cost of replacing a media file. Either way, these are unnecessary costs for any agency.
### 3. The time-consuming manual hard drive retrieval process
How much time does it take for a staff member to locate a bus, make their way out to the bus, remove the media, make their way back to the office and process the video?
How much time does it take to do this whole process in reverse, when your staff returns the video to the bus?
How many staff members do you rely on for this? How many times a day are they asked to retrieve video footage?
Do you have an idea of the cost of this exercise annually?
### 4. Increasing demand for video footage as evidence
The video surveillance market, in general, is growing in leaps and bounds as organizations look to safeguard people and infrastructure. Not only is this true for the transit market, but within each agency, the need for video footage is on the rise.
Thomas Dick, the Video Coordinator for Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation (SMART), servicing the Metro-Detroit area, reports high-demand for video downloads on a daily basis. To bullet #3 above, Tom specifically points out that if his team had to physically collect the drives for each video request received daily on buses located within their three bus terminals, his team would simply not be able to achieve the levels of service they are able to maintain today, for both their internal stakeholders as well as local law enforcement.
### 5. The need to do more with less
Virtually every organization, public or private is being asked to do more with less. In the case of transit agencies, they are being asked to provide more/better service offerings for less bottom-line, operational costs.
Wireless downloading represents one way a transit team can reduce operational costs without impacting existing service levels. This one properly implemented system can eliminate an agency’s need to waste man-hours retrieving videos, it can eliminate the ongoing costs of hard drive replacement due to constant removal and re-insertion, and it can eliminate the costs of not having footage when you need it most.
## Need further proof?
Let the numbers talk for themselves. Let’s say your fleet has roughly 100 buses. Your team receives an average of 5 video download requests a day and you pay a staff member approximately $20.00 an hour to help you retrieve videos. Not even taking the cost of replacing media files into consideration, you could be looking at a savings of roughly $2,000 a month. Factor in the cost of replacing media files and you might save an additional $260 a month. The main reason a transit fleet installs a video surveillance system is typically to minimize exposure and reduce costs. This one properly implemented system can address all the points noted above, which incidentally all lead back to the threat of additional exposure and increased costs.

### [Hybrid or NVR: Making the right choice for a surveillance upgrade](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/hybrid-or-nvr-making-the-right-choice-for-a-surveillance-upgrade/)
**Published:** May 3, 2017
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
On-board video technology is in the midst of an important transition in image quality, or what I like to call a ‘resolution evolution.’ The introduction of the Network Video Recorder (NVR) into the fixed surveillance market several years ago, brought with it the promise of higher quality images, as well as remote configuration, camera re-booting and monitoring. High-definition cameras and recorders were on the hot list for many transit agencies looking to upgrade their existing vehicle camera systems, with improvements in resolution driving the desire for change.
What many have discovered while implementing NVRs and IP-based systems in a mobile environment, is that there are different challenges with respect to video storage time, existing camera return on investment (ROI), ease of installation, maintenance, and both general networking and IT expertise, that need consideration. This has led to the introduction of hybrid systems capable of recording both analog and high-definition cameras. These systems seem to offer a good blend of resolution improvements, reduced installation complexity, and extended analog camera ROI.
### DVR vs. NVR vs. Hybrid
The ‘brains’ of a mobile surveillance system is the video recorder. Traditionally this was a digital video recorder or DVR, which supported low-to-medium-resolution analog cameras, converting analog camera feeds into a digital format for viewing and recording.
A Network Video Recorder (NVR) was the next evolution that allowed for the use of IP cameras that delivered a high-definition image directly to the recorder without requiring conversion. Although these new systems offered higher resolutions, they also had the added complexity of IP networking, programming, and required a complete replacement of existing cameras and cabling.
New hybrid DVRs were introduced to offer the advantages of supporting high-definition cameras, while extending the life of existing analog cameras, as well as increasing ROI. Newer versions of the hybrid, such as Seon’s recent introduction of the NH16 and DH6, give further flexibility by offering any combination of analog and HD cameras capable of plugging into any DVR port without complicated programming.
### IP or HD: Is there a difference?
The terms IP and HD are often used interchangeably, but are they really the same thing? All IP cameras are high definition, however not all high-definition cameras are IP. Some hybrid systems support analog high definition technology (AHD) which can deliver the same resolution as IP cameras, but don’t require the complicated programming or specialized installation. This can be a benefit and save significant dollars in a large scale retro-fit project as you don’t need specific computer networking expertise to install and maintain your camera system. If you decide to go all IP, it’s a good idea to have IT people on staff that are well-versed in IP networks.
### Maintain video retention times
One important consideration in choosing whether to go hybrid vs. NVR are the requirements for video retention. While high-definition cameras improve image clarity, they also increase storage requirements. Footage from a 720p HD camera can take up three times the storage of a medium resolution analog camera feed. Multiply this by 16 cameras and your storage capacity requirements grow and video retention times decline. Many transit agencies require up to 30 days storage on the recorder before being overwritten. With hybrid systems you have the flexibility to use a mix of analog and HD cameras so you get the benefits of high resolution in key areas, such as the fare box, windshield and outdoor cameras, while not having to sacrifice desired video retention timeframes.
### Cost impacts
Hybrid systems not only offer the flexibility to choose the pace of your video upgrade program, they also provide some additional cost savings over NVRs. This is most significant in scenarios where agencies are replacing a fleet of buses with existing analog camera systems. Hybrids allow you to maintain your existing analog cameras, extending your ROI and decreasing the overall cost of the system.
### We’ve almost come full circle
Although the introduction of NVRs brought with them the promise of new, higher quality images and simplified network infrastructure across the entire transit IT system, they also created additional complexity and costs that new technology initially brings. The introduction of hybrids are proving to be a good balance of adding future-thinking technology while not having to sacrifice your investment in existing video components.
One size definitely does not fit all when it comes to technology. Choose a vendor partner that offers a number of scalable solutions and is willing to work with you to explore the best fit.

### [Video Integration: The Secret Sauce](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/video-integration-the-secret-sauce/)
**Published:** August 1, 2017
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
*Originally published in BusRide Magazine*
Technology plays an important part in transit operations today. Passenger counting, electronic ticketing, CAD/AVL systems, video surveillance, wireless, and even onboard Wi-Fi help transit agencies deliver a better, more efficient public transit experience. Developing a world-class transit organization means implementing solutions from best-in-class technology partners. But in order to meet increasing customer expectations, these solutions need to be able to talk to each other and work together to deliver real-time insight to passengers and transit operators alike. This is where data integration is essential.
Video surveillance is no longer a stand-alone system but an essential part of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) ecosystem. Selecting a video partner experienced in integrating with multiple platforms is critical. Custom integrations can be complex, but when done right, those integrations can deliver better data more efficiently to meet the demand for real-time information. Once integration is completed, the entire system is more feature-rich and tailored to the needs of the organization.
### Data Synchronization
An integrated solution requires coordination and development by all companies involved to achieve “plug-and-play” functionality between the system components. For example, systems that enable the driver to tag video for review at a later time will want the time reference on the Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system to be identical to that on the video system. This ensures that the time recorded by the CAD system at the instant the driver tags the video (via a button press) is identical to the time that is recorded by the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) operating in the bus.
The same is true for vehicle GPS integration. Most video systems have the ability to record GPS coordinates. This provides additional context to the video evidence, allowing security staff to see the location of the bus on a map alongside the video and audio during playback. Combine this with the power of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and the transit operator will know the location of each bus in real-time and then later be able to trace a vehicle’s route historically using the video system. Again, synchronization of GPS coordinates is essential to re-create the scene, prepare an accurate case and determine the best path forward as a resolution or to make improvements. Each location-recording device on the bus must integrate with a single GPS receiver to accomplish this.
### Establishing Information Flow
Most often, integration of the bus video system with other components of the overall solution will require a two-way information flow. Not only will the DVR receive information from the CAD System, recording it on the hard drive for future playback, but the DVR will need to report key service-affecting events to the central dispatch site – events such as video camera maintenance and record-to-hard-drive status.
There is also the need to identify the common data points and the authoritative source as there may be multiple systems capable of providing the same data points. A successful integration plan will carefully map the data that is to be shared and how it flows between critical components to deliver meaningful information.
### Shared Connectivity
Engineering the integrated video system must take into account the entire end-to-end system. That typically includes devices on the vehicle that the DVR will interface to, the Wi-Fi and cellular communication network topologies used to keep the vehicle in contact with the central site, and the software used by dispatchers, system administrators, case investigators, and security and maintenance personnel. Real-time connectivity is essential and sharing that communications network is more efficient and cost-effective. Video, audio, vehicle operating and GPS data, ticket revenue, passenger counts can all be transmitted in real-time over a single point of connectivity, eliminating the expense and administration of multiple data plans.
### The End Result: Better Decisions
At the end of a successful custom integration, you have technology that operates intuitively as a single system instead of separate uncoordinated parts. You have the efficient flow and transmission of real-time data to and from the bus operators and transportation support staff to improve the speed of problem resolution and decision-making. To achieve the highest level of integration, customized to your transit environment, video and ITS providers use observational voice-of-customer methodology to develop a clear understanding of what the various roles of the end user are and their individual needs to do their job.

### [Top 3 Reasons to Wirelessly Download Bus Surveillance Video](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/reasons-to-wirelessly-download-school-bus-surveillance-video/)
**Published:** February 5, 2018
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Yesterday I was running late for a meeting and saved the file I was working on to a USB drive. Or so I thought. Later, when I went to review my work, I discovered it was gone! All those hours of work – wasted.
Normally we save files to a network storage drive, which is backed up regularly, to avoid these types of hasty mistakes. Those small text and image-based files are usually easy to retrieve, download and organize.
But what about video surveillance files? With one bus, it might not be a big deal to go out to the bus yard and pull the hard drive out of the on-board video recorder to access video footage of an incident. Imagine multiplying the bus count for a larger fleet of 50 or more?
Now imagine forgetting to replace the hard drive in that bus recorder and finding out after a serious accident that the video didn't record. The cost of missing footage could be huge.
In a small group, any issues or challenges seem small and invisible at first. But as a group grows larger, so do the number of demands. With more challenges comes a higher chance that things can go wrong. Investing in a [wireless video management system](https://www.safefleet.net/products/safe-fleet-wireless-connectivity/wireless-video-downloading/) can prevent those types of issues from happening and ensure bus video is always recording.
We recently chatted with Florida-based school transportation director, David Ogilvie, about the challenges and triumphs that his team faces on a daily basis transporting over 20,000 students per day, twice a day with his fleet of 350 buses.
Here are his top reasons of why his school transportation department chose wireless video downloading for their transportation monitoring needs.
### 1) Reducing "Man-handling Moments"
David shared the heroic story of how a brave student maneuvered the school bus to safety after the driver collapsed over the wheel. Families, law enforcement, and the local community were expecting to see dramatic video footage of the incident. Sadly, it turned out that a technician had incorrectly replaced the hard drive on that specific bus recorder, and the event was not recorded.
With a wireless video downloading workflow, this would have reduced the number of times needed for a person to physically unlock, remove, and replace a hard drive in the recording equipment on each bus.
### 2) Personalized Driver Training
They say that a "picture says a thousand words" and that everyone has their own learning style. Some of us like to learn through reading, some through listening and some through watching.
One-on-one coaching using video from an actual incident is a great way of changing risky driving habits. Wireless video downloading reduces the time it takes to:
- Point out risky driving habits and retrain drivers
- Gather positive examples of good driving behaviors to share at an in-service training
### 3) Easier Evidence Retrieval
For any incident, it can take a lot of time to gather testimony from all sides.
David shared that there was a sharp reduction in incidents claimed by parents, students, and staff as he was able to save time in retrieving necessary video evidence quickly through wireless download.
In addition, their school district works collectively with local law enforcement to provide evidence for diverse road safety violations such as vehicles running red lights or texting while driving.
Talk with your[ local representative](https://www.safefleet.net/sales-support/) to see how a Wireless Video Downloading can save time for your school district.

### [Six Low Cost Ideas for School Bus Driver Appreciation](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/six-low-cost-ideas-for-school-bus-driver-appreciation/)
**Published:** February 26, 2018
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Finding and keeping good school bus drivers is one of the biggest challenges facing school transportation today. 90% of fleets reported a driver shortage in School Bus Fleet Magazine's 2017 annual survey of school district fleets. And driver retention strategies are always a hot topic at every industry conference.
But what can you do to keep great employees in times of budget constraints? How do you encourage loyalty, reward good driving habits, and appreciate those displaying positive behaviors on a shoestring budget?
Research [shows](http://news.gallup.com/businessjournal/12157/power-praise-recognition.aspx) that praise and recognition are a simple but effective way to reward people. Driver actions can positively impact safety records, accident rates, job satisfaction, and retention rates.
It's a fine balancing act to help drivers be their best through in-service training and annual performance reviews. We often forget that in between all these meetings, that it's important to include acts of appreciation.
Here are five low-cost ideas (plus a few bonus freebies) you can use to show your appreciation and recognition for school bus drivers.
### 1. Show them some love on social media
Are you sharing school updates to your Facebook, Twitter or other social network profiles? Why not include short stories and photos of drivers, highlighting who they are and recognizing what great deed they did?
### 2. Create a Traveling Trophy
Do you have a stuffed animal version of your school mascot, a figure or a fun trophy? As an alternative to buying a new trophies, try taking one figurine that can be passed around the office.
Start off by handing it to one of the drivers that demonstrated a positive habit, and have them decide on which peer to hand it off to next in the next week or month.
### 3. Give Thanks with Student Notes
Work with teachers or school administration to engage students to practice their handwriting by writing notes of gratitude for drivers who have gone above and beyond.
Personalized notes and hand-drawn artwork are some of the most precious gifts and a great way to connect your appreciation for drivers with the students riding on their buses every day.
### 4. Draw for Lunches or Prizes
Use a twist on the "suggestion" or "comment card" and have students, staff and other drivers drop notes of appreciation. On a monthly or quarterly basis, have a short meeting to draw winners and announce positive comments.
### 5. DIY Snack Gifts
Surprise your bus drivers with these snacks with a fun, yet inspirational note attached:
##### A box of tea or some tea with a mug
##### Packs of Gum
##### Token of senti-MINTs
## 6. Share Heroic Moments Caught on Tape
Use your on-board surveillance cameras to capture a heroic moment, highlight a positive driving habit or great interaction with a parent. Share those examples in pre-shift or in-service meetings to recognize your best drivers and display best practices.
## Bonus: Three Free 'Tokens' of Appreciation
#### Be Authentically Sincere
- Do your best to show appreciation and recognition for your drivers in a sincere way
- Add a personal touch, like hand-writing their name, or including other references to their favorite sports team or things they care about
#### Show Spontaneous Kindness
- The most memorable acts of gratitude are given and shared as a surprise.
- Try to mix up the frequency and types of recognition so your team doesn't expect them (ie: ruining the surprise and gesture)
- Extend the sentiment of recognition beyond the driver by sending a short note of appreciation to their families
#### Ask for Feedback Often
- Don’t forget to ask your team for feedback:
- Do they have other ideas that will resonate most with them?
- Regular check-in's with all of your department, especially your drivers, is key to showing that they're being appreciated and you care about them

### [Back-to-School Safety Zone Checklist](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/back-to-school-safety-zone-checklist/)
**Published:** August 24, 2018
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
## 360 degrees of Safety around the School Bus
64% of the school-age pedestrians fatally injured in school-transportation-related crashes in the last decade were struck by the school buses themselves. (NHTSA, Traffic Safety Fact Sheet, 2017)
Two deadly contributors to these preventable accidents are: 1) Driver Distraction and 2) Vehicle Blind spots
Whether we are drivers, pedestrians, or passengers, we all grow comfortable in our surroundings. Our everyday routines (driving to work, catching a school bus or walking to the bus stop) become the foundation for habits that, more often than not, are conducted in “autopilot mode.”
Not being fully present while navigating traffic is commonplace. But given the number of accidents attributed to distraction, looking for ways to be more aware and more present would go a long way towards increasing safety around any vehicle and even more so around the school bus.
So how can we prevent accidents and raise awareness of school bus safety best practices? The first step is educating drivers, students, and parents on safety in the school bus danger zone.
### New (School) Year, New Habits
Building good safety habits is like mastering a sport: practice makes perfect. Though it is a federal requirement to provide school bus safety training to students at least twice a year, can we expect students to remember and practice tips they are reminded of twice a year? Can we expect full adherence to safety initiatives when on average it takes 21 days to build a habit?
Seon has long been at the forefront of developing school bus safety solutions. Over the past two years, we’ve worked tirelessly together with Safe Fleet’s Advanced Technology Group to develop innovative technologies to help bring the number of fatalities in the danger zone to zero. These technologies will alert drivers and students to help prevent accidents. We want to turn the danger zone into the safety zone.
Look for some of these technologies to come to a school bus near you at NAPT in October 2018.
But you can start today with increasing School Bus safety by teaching drivers, students, and parents a few simple tips for safety in the danger zone.
To kick off the new school year, here is our Back-to-School Safety Zone checklist to review with your students and your transportation team.
## For Students
### Getting to and Waiting for the School Bus
#### 1. Heads Up, Headphones Off
When walking to the bus stop, watch where you are walking by keeping your head up and headphones off.
#### 2. The Early Bird gets the Bus
Be at your bus stop at least 5 minutes before your scheduled pick-up time.
#### 3. Be Seen Waiting
At your designated bus stop, make sure you are visible.
#### 4. Stay on the Sidelines
Keep the streets clear by staying on the sidewalk or in your designated school bus waiting area.
#### 5. Stand back for the School Bus
When the bus arrives, wait until your bus comes to a complete stop.
Watch and listen for instructions from your bus driver or aide before you approach the bus.
### Boarding and Exiting the Bus
#### 1. Stay Out of the Danger Zone
Stay at least 10 giant steps away from the front, sides, and back of the bus.
#### 2. Follow the Bus Driver’s instructions
Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop and watch and listen to the bus driver for instructions. They will let you know when it’s safe for you to move.
#### 3. Use the Handrail
When boarding and leaving the bus, hold onto the handrail while on the stairs.
#### 4. Lock it up or lose it
Anything you want to bring to school, zip it up in your backpack so you don’t lose it.
If you drop it outside the school bus, leave it.
#### 5. Look left, right, and left
Whenever crossing the street or in front of a school bus, always check to your left, right and left to see if it’s safe to go.
## For Transportation Departments
#### 1. School Bus Safety Activities in Classrooms
Consider having school bus drivers conduct interactive school bus safety activities in the classroom. This gives school bus drivers the opportunity to engage and build trust with students they may have on their routes. Students also get to practice and learn about safety in fun ways.
#### 2. School Bus Safety and Danger Zone Reviews by the Transportation Team
Hold engaging training sessions to review danger zones and school bus safety. Ask bus drivers to share their stories and tips, accompanied by shining examples from video clips taken from your onboard school video surveillance systems.
#### 3. Around the Bus and Bus Stop Observations
Encourage your drivers to note any changes at their bus stops or around the bus exterior:
Are students easily visible at the stop? Are there any obstructions, like an overgrown bush, that needs to be removed to increase visibility?
Has traffic increased around the stop? What is the cause of this traffic growth?
Is weather or the environment making the waiting area unsafe?
Are there ways you can further reduce blind-spots around the outside of the school bus?
Contemplate adding on a vehicle monitoring system, like our inView 360, to eliminate spots.
These regular observations will be valuable for the transportation team to decide what areas need adjustments, like routing or perimeter safety.
#### 4. Improve Communication with Students on the School Bus route
Along with in-classroom school bus safety sessions, ensure your school bus drivers are:
Checking in with students on their understanding of safety instructions.
Providing praise as positive reinforcement when students practice school bus safety habits.
#### 5. Practice Patience
With so many areas to be diligent and alert about, remember to ask drivers to be patient while on the road.
When in a rush, this feeling of being rushed can be distracting and divert from paying full attention to the danger zone around the school bus.
[](https://www.safefleet.net/wp-content/uploads/Safe-Fleet-Danger-Zone-Safety-Zone-Infographic.pdf)
Growing a culture of proactive safety requires practice and takes time as we overcome old habits. With the start of a new school year, we look forward to the growth of student safety excellence at school and around the school bus, together.
What other Danger Zone safety tips do you teach your drivers and students?

### [Beyond 1080p: What’s best for mobile surveillance?](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/beyond-1080p-whats-best-for-mobile-surveillance/)
**Published:** September 18, 2018
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
A sibling wrestling match triggered a shopping trip for a new HDTV this past weekend. The biggest decision: 1080p vs 4K. The sales guy at Best Buy had some convincing arguments for 4K resolution. My vote was for 1080p, being the budget-conscious consumer. My husband was puzzled by the conflicting online advice he googled while in-store. The end result: we returned home sans TV to face the wrath of two screen-hungry kids.
Transit operators looking to upgrade their on-board video systems are facing the same decision. A quick Internet search reveals a lot of conflicting information, little of which relates directly to mobile surveillance. How do you know what’s right for your organization? Here are some key considerations to help you make the right decision.
## What’s the difference: 720p, 1080p, and 4K?
When someone refers to 720p, 1080p, 4K, (or even 8k for that matter), they are talking about screen resolution. Screen resolution is the number of pixels displayed across the screen both horizontally and vertically. So the picture from a 720p camera would display on a screen at 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels high.
This handy graphic compares screen resolutions from 480p (often referred to D1 in the mobile surveillance world) to 8K:
The more pixels, the larger the resolution and in most cases the finer the detail you can see on screen. So, in terms of screen resolution, it appears that 8k gives you the finest detail. The bad news: there currently aren’t any 8K cameras on the mobile surveillance market, and 4K was just introduced in some transit applications in 2017, so 4k is still pretty pricey.
### A Little History on Camera Resolution
Traditional analog surveillance cameras were D1 resolution or 480p. This was the most popular resolution for bus cameras until a few years ago when the first high-definition (HD) mobile cameras showed up. This is still arguably the most widely installed across School Bus and Transit operators.
720p cameras were the first high-definition (HD) offering introduced to the market, followed soon after by 1080p (also referred to as Full HD). 2017 saw the first introduction of Ultra-HD into the mobile video market. Like most new technology, the higher the resolution, the more expensive the camera.
### 1080p vs. 4K: Can You Tell the Difference?
1080p offers 1980 x 1080 pixel resolution while 4k gives you 3840 (or in some cases 4096) x 2160 pixels. 4k can also be thought of as 2160p. So technically, 4K cameras offer four times as many pixels as 1080p. But depending on how you view your video you may not notice a huge difference. 4K will give you finer details, but you may only notice the difference when you zoom in.
But let’s put it to the test. Compare screenshot examples below of the 720p, 1080p and 4K. Can you tell the difference?
### 4K Video (4K recorder/1080p monitor)
### 1080p Video (1080p Recorder/1080p monitor):
### **720p Video (720p recorder/1080p monitor)**
This somewhat subjective but highly dependent on what level of detail you need for incident investigations. 720p might be just fine for internal passenger surveillance, while 1080p is better for stepwell or forward facing views. 4k may be even better for license plate capture or external surveillance. But you may not notice that much of a difference in certain situations between 1080p and 4k.
Ask your surveillance vendor to provide representative screenshots or sample video at key camera positions for each resolution, then test common scenarios to identify your sweet spot. Playback on the computer and monitor you will use for surveillance review to accurately compare and contrast.
### Storage Value
Another consideration is the number of days you want to store video before retrieving from your onboard recorder.
Assuming eight 1080p cameras recording at a quality 4 rating and 15 frames per second (minimum for smooth playback), you will need a 2 GB hard drive to get 30 days of video retention (assuming 8 hours per day).
4k at the same settings will take up more space and a larger hard drive, likely reducing the number of days of video before the footage is written over, however, newer 4k systems will also likely use H.265 compression technology, making this less painful as it is more efficient.
Ask your surveillance vendor to provide a video retention calculation to ensure the storage times meet your needs using your anticipated quality settings, camera head resolution, and storage media size. Then you can move on to compare costs.
### Affordability
So what about costs? Budgets are always a concern. 4k cameras right now are more expensive than 1080p, as are the recorders that support them. As with most technology, the price will likely decline over time as higher resolution options emerge, but for now, 1080p cameras win the cost battle.
Another cost to consider is for upgrading the equipment used to playback onboard video. A computer with higher processing power is likely required to handle larger sized video files along with a better video and graphics card to view and zoom in to use the full extent of recorded video. Maybe it’s inaccurate to say you wouldn't need any of these for upgrading to 1080p, but it's definitely an additional cost to tally up.
Another upgrade cost consideration is Wi-Fi equipment to automatically download footage. If you have invested in this already, you may need to up the ante on the bandwidth and evaluate the throughput between wireless bridge and yard access points.
Now that we’ve looked at key deciding factors between 1080p and 4k, we still need to answer the question: what is right for your agency now and in the foreseeable future?
### Is Now the Right Time to Buy 4K?
Let’s bring one last consideration into play: your desired onboard equipment lifespan. How long do you plan to keep your video equipment before upgrading? We usually recommend to our customers to plan for camera upgrades every three to five years.
No one has a crystal ball, but if we look at 1080p televisions as an example, it took four to five years after introduction for them to become the standard. 1080p is likely to follow the same path in the mobile surveillance market. So, whether your own scorecard leads you to 4K or 1080p, 1080p will still last you through this lifespan.
### Practical Advice
My advice: stick with 1080p if you’re deciding to upgrade your surveillance systems in the next couple of years. Give the market some time to catch up and the price for 4K to go down before writing that into your surveillance specs. If history dictates, you’ll probably save yourself some money in the long run with relatively little risk.
Here are a few parting tips on making the right decision on camera solution:
1. Don’t get caught up in the ‘Resolution Arms Race’.
2. Plan based on what’s best for your needs over the lifespan of your equipment
3. Compare clips on your existing monitor and computer: can you tell the difference?
4. Don't get paralyzed by indecision

### [The Future of Transit and how it will affect Everyone (Part 4 of 4)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-4-of-4/)
**Published:** November 1, 2018

This is Part 4 in our series on the future of transit (gathered during the recent CUTA — Canadian Urban Transit Association, New Mobility Symposium held in Vancouver, British Columbia). Read Parts [1](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-1-of-4/), [2](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-2-of-4/) and[ 3 .](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-3-of-4/)
In our previous posts, we indicated there could be a significant uptake in automated mobility services within five years, and that mobility as a service could realistically be on offer by 2025.
This very near-term future vision poses several questions for us, our current and future customers, and partners. In our role as a solution provider in this market, what does this mean for the future of passenger, driver, and pedestrian safety? What is our vision of the future of transit? And does our vision dovetail into the future that was discussed at the CUTA – New Mobility Symposium?
The symposium discussed the main drivers behind the industry’s transition to shared mobility and mobility as a service (MaaS):
- Climate change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Increased Traffic Congestion in major urban centers around the world
- Increasing costs of fuel
- The need to maximize usage of prime real-estate (urban parking lots) for better purposes
The solutions that are currently being developed, and those that are yet to be developed, to address these drivers are of no use to us if they don’t also provide a level of safety above and beyond that which is currently on the streets today.
There will always be a need for increased safety and as a result, there will always be a steady and continual emphasis on developing safer supporting fleet solutions. These requirements nicely complement our core vision to help create **Better Drivers, Smarter Vehicles** and **Safer Fleets.**
The methods we employ to drive these safety initiatives will remain true in the future as well as today. Driver monitoring and driver education will help create **Better Drivers**. Better, more detailed, more easily digestible and actionable data, along with better tools, experiences ,and feedback loops will make **Smarter Vehicles.** Combined – the result will be safer vehicles and **Safer Fleets.**
Next steps for our industry, therefore, are to create more intelligent vehicles, which in turn drive a safer transit environment. The safety targets that both shared mobility and MaaS models must meet are simply not achievable with humans, unassisted by technology behind the wheel.
As the gulf between shared mobility and autonomous vehicles grows, the requirement for safety will become politically motivated. There will be more of a societal push to discourage people from owning and driving their own cars. Infrastructure will be re-designed. HOV lanes will be viewed as “safety lanes” and pay-to-access pricing will be in effect. Safety and safer vehicles will be favored over other “less safe” vehicles.
In the future, just as today, **Better Drivers, Smarter Vehicles** and **Safer Fleets** will be a relevant and integral part of the complete transit solution.

### [The Future of Transit and how it will affect Everyone (Part 3 of 4)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-3-of-4/)
**Published:** October 4, 2018

This is Part 3 in our series on the future of transit (as discussed during the recent CUTA — Canadian Urban Transit Association, New Mobility Symposium held in Vancouver, British Columbia). Read [Part 1](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-1-of-4/) and [Part 2](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-2-of-4/) of this series.
In our previous posts, we discussed the milestone goal of collaboration between public agencies and private companies to build out customized mobility solutions that would better cater to the needs of the general public. We also stated this milestone was a stepping stone to the end goal of achieving zero personal car ownership and mobility for all.
So, where are we at today? And how far off in the future will we see these solutions become reality? Technology-dominated mobility is definitely coming. We could in fact, see a huge uptake in automated mobility services within five years. Signalling this to be a solid prediction is the fact that Lyft is anticipating that by 2020, 50% of their calls will be for ride-sharing rather than single occupant rides. So, how far away from zero car ownership and majority usage of multi-modal transportation systems are we?
Technology is now forcing us to rethink how future transportation services might need to be delivered. Another factor is changing consumer habits; we are now operating in a sharing economy where services are shared by way of the internet between individuals or groups of individuals. Now, more than ever, consumer demand determines the delivery of services.
Add to this the fact that people are starting to say no to the personal car (in the last ten years, the number of people under 35 with a driver’s license has decreased by 6 percent and since 2011, the number of U.S. citizens aged from 16 to 70 with drivers licenses has decreased. ).
Personal cars are also very expensive to own and operate. They are utilized 4-5% and account for 29% of transportation trips on average, but account for 85% of our mobility expenditure and on average 17% of our household income.
These drivers are causing demand for the personal car to decrease, however, conversely demand for mobility is definitely increasing. The result of these changes is the transitioning away from transportation and mobility silos to Mobility as a service (MaaS), where users make use of a combination of public/private and shared transportation modes — in this model mobility will be consumed as a service and it could become our reality by 2025.
This MaaS model revolves around integration at its core. The needs of the individual are at the center of the solution, so rather than purchasing transport fares from a number of separate providers, users would purchase their mobility services from a single source, regardless of the chosen means of travel or of the various service providers involved in making a particular trip possible. One person, taking a combination of public and private services that are seamlessly linked together to enable a smooth, comfortable and effective trip would pay one seamless fare through one seamless application.
End users would have the ability to easily compare and contrast the information and fare rates from public transport services with those offered by alternative ride-sharing options. It would mean increased flexibility and improved travel experience. It would mean mobility services would be providing all the benefits of personal car ownership without any of the hassles. It would mean the choice of deciding over owning a personal car or forgoing ownership for easier access instead would be an easy one to make. It would mean the reality of zero personal car ownership could be upon us.

### [The Future of Transit and how it will affect Everyone (Part 2 of 4)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-2-of-4/)
**Published:** August 31, 2018

This is Part 2 in our series on the future of transit (gathered during the recent CUTA — Canadian Urban Transit Association, New Mobility Symposium held in Vancouver, British Columbia).
Read Part 1 [here.](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-future-of-transit-and-how-it-will-affect-everyone-part-1-of-4/)
We started our previous post by stating that transit agencies will play a key role in delivering mobility services in our transportation future. However, our mobility future will also include a range of services and solutions from some very non-traditional players.
During the Symposium, experts stated the ultimate mobility goal is to drive personal car ownership down to zero. There are a number of drivers at play today that make this goal of keen importance to us all. They are:
- Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Increased Traffic Congestion in major urban centers around the world
- Increasing costs of fuel
- The need to maximize usage of prime real-estate (urban parking lots) for better purposes
In order to achieve this goal, our future mobility solutions must make transportation as easy, safe, and comfortable as that of the personal car. This is imperative, as people place very high value on their time and mobility is at the core of our lives. Mobility is the key to getting your hair cut, going out for dinner, seeing live theatre, seeing your doctor/dentist and/or accessing emergency medical services (hospitals) to name a few.
Before we reach our end goal, we’ll need to first migrate to a model where TNCs[\[i\]](#_edn1) and Transit agencies work together to provide a more custom mobility experience. This is a shift in thinking from early predictions which saw transit services being supplanted by ride-hailing companies. Data now clearly shows ride-hailing complements transit services.
Transit users follow established patterns. These patterns are mostly served by transit services that exist today. Ride-hailing fills gaps that occur when an end user's schedule changes (they are running late, they were going out to dinner instead of straight home, they were going out on the weekend and wanted to avoid parking and/or drinking and driving etc.). Ride-hailing also helps to address one of Transit’s bigger challenges — the costs of operating transit in the evening when ridership is at its lowest. By working together with ride-hailing services, transit agencies may be able to eliminate evening bus and rail services in some areas.
If transit covers the core of a person’s commute, the first and the last segment of a person’s trip, often referred to as first and last miles, can be satisfied with ride-hailing. TNCs themselves will soon evolve to a point where other forms of transportation will be on offer (such as a scooter or bicycle) to ensure more efficient first and last mile commuting. The combination of transit and TNC solutions will help to address the more complex commutes of shift workers — TNC service can be taken early in the morning when transit is not running and conversely, transit can be taken on the way back when transit is running.
The use cases mentioned above are a step in the right direction, but while they provide increased and more customized services for end users, they do not fulfill the goal of providing services equal to that of personal car ownership, and they do not help to decrease traffic congestion and emissions. Fear not, mobility services designed to tackle these ever-pressing issues are just around the corner.

### It’s not that often you can make this kind of blanket statement about a service.
Seon recently attended the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA), New Mobility Symposium and given the presentation content, we feel that transit has a very relevant role to play in our transportation future. Not only that, but transit will be of great importance to everyone, not just the subset of people who don’t make use of personal vehicles to get from Point A to Point B.
The future of transit will affect everyone, and the future looks bright! We can, in part, thank the Transportation Network Companies (TNC) for ensuring our transportation future is rosy, but we can also thank the forward-thinking transit agencies who realize that one size does not fit all.
*The **design of a transportation service** that really and truly meets the needs of the general public must deliver the same benefits (or maybe even more) than those gained from personal car ownership:*
- *The **convenience** of accessing your ride from your front door, and having it drop you off at your exact intended destination*
- *The **comfort** of being in clean, familiar, safe surroundings*
- ***Reliable and fast service** from point A to point B (Your transportation of choice must be on-time and not take longer than expected to get you where you want to go).*
Transit and mobility service providers are working to solve these challenges now. While a lot of work is yet to be done, understanding the needs and challenges of the general public goes a long way in defining how future mobility services will look and behave. A lot of healthy competition along the way is a bonus — all parties raise the bar delivering services that cater to their users like never before.
We, very clearly, are aiming towards the ultimate goal of reducing personal car ownership numbers right down to zero. We also, very clearly, have a ways to go.
Using statistics from Vancouver to incent us to reach that goal as quickly as possible (although every major City in North America can tell a similar story), we know that if we continue down our current road without making any changes, by 2038 Metro Vancouver will be home to approximately 1,000,000 more residents who will in-turn, own 700,000 more cars. If congestion, smog, and pollution-related illnesses such as asthma are bad now, how much worse will they get?
In the meantime, however, Transit agencies, TNCs, consultants, visionaries, entrepreneurs, and governments alike are working to ensure our future reality doesn’t paint such a smoggy picture. All of these players are working on a number of solutions to help us build an entirely different mobility future. One that’s seamless and accessible by all (ages, walks of life, and physical abilities), regardless of whether you live in a densely populated urban center or a suburban or residential property further away from activity hubs.

### [How Fleets Can Reduce Their Operational Risk](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-fleets-can-reduce-their-operational-risk/)
**Published:** January 16, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
On November 30th, I wrote a blog post for Metro Magazine about “Practical Drift,” the tendency to drift away from the proper and precise way we were taught to perform a job or function. In the case of bus drivers, the drift manifests itself by the forming of bad habits and short cuts such as rolling stops, driving over the speed limit, or rushing through intersections.
This type of deviation from standard operating procedures put in place to ensure safety represents significant risk to the organizations. Interestingly, we have learned from studying data compiled from billions of miles driven that a large percentage of that operational risk is the result of just a small percentage of drivers drifting away from expected standards of performance. The good news is that technology is available that will help to identify where risky behaviors are likely to occur, where deviation (or drift) from the norm will happen. This insight can be used to provide coaching, support, and consistent reinforcement of desired behaviors that will discourage and minimize drift from occurring within operations.

### [NASDPTS says the Number of School Bus Stop Arm Violations is Increasing](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/nasdpts-says-the-number-of-school-bus-stop-arm-violations-is-increasing/)
**Published:** August 8, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
### We say, the Technology to Decrease these Numbers is Real and Available Today.
The staggering statistics associated with the number of stop arm violations occurring each day are hard to fathom.
The NASDPTS 2019 School Bus Industry Survey identified an average of 95,000 illegal passes across 39 states in a single day. That’s 17 million near misses in one school year, an increase of 2 million from last year alone.
What do these stop arm violations numbers mean in terms of student fatalities? The years between 2013 and 2017 have seen an average of 3.8 deaths each (the results of the 2018-2019 school year have not yet been [released](https://www.ksde.org/Portals/0/School%20Bus/Surveys/2017-2018-National-School-Bus-Loading-and-Unloading-Survey-Web.pdf)). However, the number of injuries and fatalities attributed to stop arm violations or being struck by a vehicle while waiting at a bus stop during a six-day period the last week of October 2018 are widely known. Six students were killed and eight students and two adults were [injured.](https://nasdpts24.wildapricot.org/resources/Documents/2019%20NASDPTS%20Illegal%20Passing%20Results%20Press%20Release-7-24-19.pdf)
One death is one too many. Likewise, one injury related to the School Bus Danger Zone is one too many. Given that, these injury and death numbers are incredibly discouraging. We all recognize that something must change, and we also all recognize that driving these numbers down requires change and change requires time.
### We don’t have time, not if we truly believe one injury or death is one too many.
Unlike many scenarios that present seemingly insurmountable odds, there is reason to have hope we can affect real, significant and timely change. ***We have the tools and the technology to drive these numbers down today***.
The traditional approach to reducing stop arm violations has been through educating drivers on how to behave around the school bus and capturing video evidence (through stop arm cameras) when a violation occurs. Fines are then issued to the driver after-the-fact. This reactive approach, while potentially effective over the long term (we are talking years), doesn’t prevent an accident from occurring this very moment and doesn’t significantly help to drive accident rates down in short order.
Addressing the issue of stop arm violations effectively requires a different and more proactive approach: technology that focuses on the students and bus operators, rather than the personal vehicle operator. The Predictive Stop Arm® (PSA) is an innovative, patents-pending solution that uses radar technology and predictive analytics to monitor oncoming vehicle traffic for probable stop arm violations. Analytics algorithms process the data from the radar sensors and determine whether a vehicle has sufficient time to slow down and stop, or whether a stop arm violation is probable. If the system perceives that students should not cross, audible and visual warnings are issued to the bus operator and audible warnings are issued to the students. The technology helps keep students safer by notifying the bus driver and the students that it may not be safe to cross — ***before an accident occurs***. This technology ***proactively*** increases student safety so quickly and effectively that it’s been called a ‘[game-changer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28Ix5UddYyc&list=PLCH3aqtIian273dW4osZvY-dJoa14nOmu&index=13&t=0s)' in the industry.
### What the experts say
The Predictive Stop Arm is currently in use in five school districts across the United States, and each school district is pleased with the results. A bus operator at Hopkins Public Schools in Minnesota believes the PSA is the first technology he’s seen in the 20 years he’s been operating a bus that truly focuses on the safety of the students. Don Carter, the Transportation Coordinator at St. Lucie Public Schools in Florida, considers the PSA an extra measure of safety for the students crossing the street. And Derrick Agate, the Transportation Director at Hopkins Public Schools is using the PSA in combination with stop arm cameras to both prevent illegal passbys from injuring one of his students and to work with law enforcement to issue violations to drivers when warranted.
We can’t keep doing what we’ve been doing and expect a different outcome. Children are at increasing risk every day in numbers we can’t even begin to wrap our heads around. The Predictive Stop Arm is an innovative approach that can be the ‘change-agent’ that is necessary to quickly and effectively reduce risk to students in the Danger Zone.

### [What you need to know about video surveillance solution hard drives and media storage options](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/what-you-need-to-know-about-video-surveillance-solution-hard-drives-and-media-storage-options/)
**Published:** October 6, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
So, you’re looking to add video surveillance to vehicles and there are so many things to consider. Below we attempt to demystify some of those things.
## Video Surveillance Storage
It’s well understood you need a place to store all the video and audio your system will capture, and more storage provides more available days of video and audio to review should the need arise. However, how much storage is really needed and what about media cost?
On top of that, there are at least three types of storage to consider. Should you deploy rotating hard disk drives (HDD) or their non-movable counterparts, solid-state drives (SSD) or solid-state memory cards (SD Card)? Each media has its benefit and use case which we’ll explore.
### Hard Disk Drives (HDD)
The mechanism from the inside of the disassembled hard drive from a computer, a hard drive with a mirror effect and a read head. Information on the Blue metallic carrier, repair service and operation PC computer, laptop. Macro
This media type implements a very complex mechanical apparatus to read and write data to/from a rotating magnetic disk (called a platter) at high speed. Platters can store vast amounts of data in a small space and HDD may include several to increase total storage capacity. This provides a lot of storage at a low relative cost which makes HDD a desirable storage choice.
The technology also implements a read/write pickup sensor (head) suspended on a thin cushion of air over each platter. The cushion exists while the platter is spinning. The head must not touch the platter (called a head crash or simply crash) but it must also remain within a set distance of the platter to properly read or write data. This whole apparatus sounds frail, but HDD design is quite robust and the opportunity for a head crash is very small when deployed to a mostly fixed environment like a desktop or laptop computer. However, a mobile recorder mounted in a vehicle traveling on a bumpy city and rural roads is not an entirely optimal environment. While this makes HDD an undesirable storage choice, modern recorders engineer solutions to overcoming those effects, but without a doubt, effectiveness varies.
So how can you get the cost-benefit of HDD (large storage, lower-cost) while mitigating the shock and vibration effects of bumpy roads? While there is no foolproof method of achieving this goal, a solid approach is selecting a recorder from a vendor who implements a robust shock and vibration mitigation system tested against recognized and established industry standards. Even better are vendors who share the exact test criteria they meet within those standards.
Here are some examples.
> ***Poor: “Shock and Vibration Tested to Real World Values”***
> *This statement seems awesome because it indicates effort went into determining “Real World Values”. Actually, it has no value. The vendor has essentially determined criteria they deem relevant and then works to meets it. Since criteria are not standardized, there’s no way to determine the applicability or compare results against any other vendor. The only thing worse is a vendor who provides no details at all.*
>
> ***Good: Shock and Vibration tested against SAE-J1455 and MIL-STD-810G***
> *This example includes references to recognized industry standards against which testing is conducted. Standards include well defined and detailed test methods and provide exact pass/fail requirements for specific test scenarios. This is generally an acceptable level of detail to compare products, but additional digging is required to determine which test scenarios were applied.*
>
> ***Best: “Shock and Vibration tested against SAE-J1455, Sections 4.10.4.2 & 4.11.3.4 and MIL-STD-810G, Sections 514.6 & 516.6”***
> *Here, exact sections within each standard are called out. This provides excellent transparency and eliminates extra digging. Vendors confident in results should have no problem sharing this level of detail.*
*Still, there are times where shock and vibration mitigation solutions don’t provide satisfactory performance or where the opportunity for media failure is simply not acceptable. In those cases, HDD is likely not the right storage solution.*
### Solid State Drives (SSD)
SSD and Laptop,solid state drive with sata 6 gb connection
This media type implements no moving parts like rotating platter or hovering read/write heads. Instead, an array of high-capacity flash storage modules is mounted onto a small circuit board which is itself housed inside an enclosure having the same form-factor and physical connectors as an HDD. Lacking moving parts, SSD storage devices are mostly immune to shock and vibration forces that would normally cause HDD failure. This doesn’t mean SSD media eliminates all shock and vibration considerations; recorders still have parts and components designed to slide together such as removable storage cartridges. The media component itself is just more immune.
That immunity to vibration doesn’t come for free and there are some negatives to consider with SSD. These are primarily cost, endurance, compatibility, and electrical stability. Let’s dig into each.
In general, SSD has a significantly higher price compared to HDD for equivalent storage capacity and at some point, technology limitations prevent SSD from even matching HDD capacity. Also, as SSD capacity increases, prices increase faster than comparable HDD media. This makes selecting SSD media a delicate balancing act of cost vs capacity. Fortunately, pricing for high capacity media seems to drop every year so finding that balance gets easier.
Other considerations are a vendor concern, but it helps to understand how they affect the final solution. SSD has inherent limitations related to how many times flash can be overwritten (endurance), requirements for specialized commands (compatibility), and less tolerance for voltage fluctuations (electrical stability).
System vendors must accommodate these special considerations when designing a robust SSD solution and this can contribute to final SSD pricing warranty backing.
Although not discussed in detail, SD Card media is very similar to SSD media except it implements a different form-factor and comes in a much lower capacity.
That low capacity limits SD card use in higher channel count systems. However, the media finds common deployment as primary storage for lower channel count systems because SD Card pricing is affordable at those capacity levels.
So, it’s either HDD with low cost and high capacity or SSD with the high cost and lower/equivalent capacity? Well not exactly.
### HDD + SD Card
This is a specialized setup where HDD media is paired with SD Card media to provide a “best of both” storage implementation. The setup deploys HDD media to primary storage which provides high capacity at the lowest price.
All considerations for shock and vibration still apply so a rugged mitigation solution is still required. The SD card is also deployed and enjoys all the benefits and special design considerations.
However, systems record a lower resolution copy of the HDD surveillance data to the SD card and properly tuned systems can easily have the same days of surveillance on both media. The solution gives the benefits of high-quality surveillance on primary HDD storage at a lower cost and provides a disaster backup on solid data SD card media if something unfortunate happens to the HDD.
## Summary
There are several things to consider when selecting media and sometimes it’s hard to know what’s most important. Is it cost, capacity, immunity to some environmental factor, or maybe something between?
Fortunately, understanding what to look for when evaluating systems is relatively easy once key criteria are known. For HDD, look for adherence to well-known industry standards. For SSD, ensure vendors provide a clear-cut warranty statement for that media type. And finally, the “best of both” option is a must.

### [Safe Fleet Technology Showcased on Capitol Hill during National School Bus Safety Week](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/safe-fleet-technology-showcased-on-capitol-hill-during-national-school-bus-safety-week/)
**Published:** December 18, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
## More than 15 million illegal school bus passes occurred nation-wide in the 2018 school year and with these numbers came tragic consequences.
In October, 2018 one Rochester, Indiana family lost three children in just one illegal passing incident.
The deaths of the siblings prompted U.S. Reps Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) and Julia Brownley (D-Calif) to initiate the Stop for School Buses Act which aims to improve student safety by researching methods of preventing illegal passing of school buses.
The National Student Transportation Association (NSTA) and Safe Fleet have been collaborating on efforts to build support for the proposed legislation as well as increasing awareness of the underlying issues associated with illegal school bus passing and promoting how technology can be used to help increase student safety outside the bus.
With this in mind, Safe Fleet helped organize and participate in a technology showcase on Capitol Hill during the 2019 National School Bus Safety Week.
Safe Fleet’s VP of School Bus, Chris Akiyama spoke to a crowd of interested parties, including NSTA members, school bus OEM manufacturers, the media and the four originating co-sponsors (US Senators Todd Young and Gary Peters and US Representatives Jackie Walorski and Julia Brownley) of the House and Senate bills mentioned above. Discussing the issues of increased driver distraction and a prevailing lack of awareness of the rules and regulations on how to share the road with school buses, Mr. Akiyama presented three ground-breaking technologies that together form an innovative, effective and comprehensive approach to increasing student safety outside the bus.
Safe Fleet’s Driver Alert, provides additional notification to the motorist by way of a lit display on the back of the bus that indicates either the bus is about to stop, or that the motorist should stop as the bus is stopped and children will be loading or unloading.
If the motorist fails to observe the school bus’ flashing lights or the Driver Alert signage, Safe Fleet’s Predictive Stop Arm®, which uses radar and analytic algorithms to determine whether oncoming vehicles are likely to illegally pass the school bus, will actively and audibly alert students to stay back and not step out on to the street. The Predictive Stop Arm (PSA) also notifies the school bus operator that an illegal pass by is being predicted.
The final technology demonstrated included Safe Fleet’s Stop Arm Camera integrating with Verra Mobility’s back-end ticketing software. If a motorist passes a stopped school bus illegally, the Stop Arm Camera will capture the license plate information and the Verra Mobility software will transmit the captured evidence for ticketing of the motorist after the fact.
While the Driver Alert and Stop Arm Camera technologies do not result in an immediate shift in motorist behavior, they are in fact critical and effective tools for longer-term education to effect gradual but steady changes in driver behavior.
The PSA is the only technology of its kind that monitors oncoming traffic and notifies students and bus operators when it’s deemed unsafe to cross. This technology aims to stop an accident before it happens, and the benefits of implementing it can be realized immediately. Unlike any other technology in the market, the PSA represents both an effective immediate and long term strategy.
These three technologies in concert are considered by many to be capable of bringing about rapid, positive and lasting change, the need for which has never been more urgent. The 2019 school year has shown an increase in illegal school bus passes by more than two million over the previous year, for a total of 17 million illegal bus passes having occurred nation-wide.
This is one example of the many ways in which Safe Fleet is Driving Safety Forward.™

### [Video Surveillance hardware Country of Origin and the Question of Banned Components](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/video-surveillance-hardware-country-of-origin-and-the-question-of-banned-components/)
**Published:** February 18, 2020

**Content:**
With tariffs, trade wars and concerns over technology, Safe Fleet has seen an increased level of interest from customers on the topic of video technology country of origin and in particular, those products that are sourced specifically from China.
Safe Fleet has been diversifying away from sourcing products from China for some time. In fact, we currently have a full suite of solution offerings delivering the full breadth of hybrid and networked video surveillance with an extensive range of cameras to cover off the complete gamut of transit requirements for customers looking to avoid Chinese suppliers.
Safe Fleet develops its own suite of software solutions including video playback, video management wireless archiving, video streaming, fleet tracking, maintenance, route optimization, navigation, and driver performance. Our in-house capabilities include AI-assisted workflows such as face redaction for privacy. As a result, Safe Fleet is one of the very few suppliers that does not require customers to use Chinese software for tasks such as video management or playback. Control over our software provides stability and continuity for our customers as they pivot away from Chinese hardware without having to disrupt or redesign their existing workflows.
The machine learning and Artificial Intelligence capabilities in our Smart Safety products are similarly unique to Safe Fleet. None of our Smart Safety products are sourced from China.
For large, sophisticated Transit projects, Safe Fleet recommends our C3 Series of 3MP IP cameras working with the NH16 NVR, which supports up to 16 cameras per bus. For smaller vehicles or projects, up to 12 channels of 1080p video can be provided by our TH Series DVRs and HD3 cameras. These products and designs are exclusive to Safe Fleet. None of these systems are produced in China.
Safe Fleet continues to move away from Chinese suppliers at both the accessory and component level. We also continue to innovate and develop new features, functionality, and technology to help you reduce preventable accidents, mitigate risk and increase transit safety.

### [How Transit Agencies Can Deliver More for their Passengers](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-transit-agencies-can-deliver-more-for-their-passengers-and-off-set-costs-with-additional-revenue-streams/)
**Published:** June 8, 2020
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Passengers no longer expect their public transit commute to be a matter of simply getting on board at their bus stop, travelling to their destination and then getting off the bus.
They expect more. And not just more in general terms for a near-distant future. They expect more today. More value-add, more safety, more ease-of-use, and more of a connection with their service provider – the transit agency.
Delivering more generally comes at a cost. The transit agency of today, however, has declining ridership, increasing operating expenses and safety and service level targets that remain out of reach with the available cash-in-hand.
### Infotainment/Public Display Monitors can help an agency meet the needs of their passengers, and more…
There is a low-cost, simple-to-implement, maximum value solution available to transit agencies to help them deliver more. A solution that can help an agency meet the expectations of their customers by driving more value-add experiences, increasing on-board safety and establishing a better communication connection with their customers. And the best part, from an agency perspective, is that this solution has the ability to earn additional revenue through paid advertising.
An Infotainment system consists of the display monitor, which is installed in one or more locations on the bus and a media player which is typically housed on-board the bus alongside the video surveillance equipment.
Monitors are available in a number of size and functionality options. The media player component is portable and compact and manages images or video content that can be displayed based on pre-defined orders and priorities. Content can be swapped out and pushed to bus monitors at a moment’s notice.
### This one solutions helps to:
- **Enhance the passenger experience:**Onboard access to relevant and timely information helps keep passengers connected with what matters and maximizes use of their time. Systems can convey a range of value-add information including rider alerts, next stop details, routing and connection options
- **Increase operator and passenger safety:**Providing a live feed from all or some on-board cameras onto a public display monitor reduces instances of mischief and unwanted behavior. The principle is that if a person sees themselves on the on-vehicle monitor, they realize they are being recorded and are less likely to commit a crime.
- **Establish supplemental revenue streams for the transit agency:**Infotainment systems also have the ability to help a transit agency earn supplemental revenue through advertising opportunities.
While many agencies may only be starting to consider infotainment options today, in the very near future, infotainment systems will be fundamental and heavily integrated into our day-to-day commuting lives.

### [The Safe Fleet Connected School Bus](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-safe-fleet-connected-school-bus/)
**Published:** December 23, 2020
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
The combined value of a significant number of Safe Fleet school bus safety and efficiency solutions have been brought together to form the Safe Fleet Connected School Bus. The stronger together adage is reflected in this Connected Bus, which leverages the strengths of its separate parts resulting in an integrated, wholly realized, super cool school bus that truly delivers an exceptional number of benefits to students, parents and school administrators alike:
- Enhanced Learning Opportunities
- Risk Mitigation (both generalized, as well as risk associated with COVID-19)
- On-Board and Off-Board Student Safety
- Routing Efficiencies
- Lower Operating Costs Improved School/Parent Communication
Today’s typical school bus is usually outfitted with basic video surveillance, comprised of cameras and recording devices. In the Connected School Bus, the camera system is accompanied with a cellular router and modem, a vehicle tracking unit and an on-board mobile data terminal. These easy-to-implement devices help drive the following, full-range of solutions:
- Distance Learning and Mobile Classrooms
- Student Contact Tracing
- Vehicle/COVID-19 Cleaning Inspections
- Video Downloading
- Live Video Streaming
- Video System Health Checks
- Navigation
- Routing
- Student Accountability and Vehicle Tracking
- Parent Notifications
Each of these solutions on their own solve significant challenges faced by today’s school districts, but when operating together they perform in concert. Here’s an example:
Before the bus hits the road, the bus driver conducts an auditable vehicle disinfection and safety inspection, better protecting themselves and the students about to board.
As students board, they can start preparing for school, or even get a head start on upcoming homework; the bus is a mobile classroom and offers internet service to students on their commute (or even when the bus is parked in underserved communities).
The bus also employs video surveillance for enhanced school bus safety. To maximize the value of this system, a school transportation official can determine the health of the system, (Are cameras offline? Is there a problem with a recorder’s hard drive?) without leaving their desks. Further still, they can live stream video and audio from any of the on-board cameras as necessary. Any incident triggers an automatic download of the video, saving that official important man-hours. They no longer have to manually pull hard drives, or sift through hours of footage to find what they are looking for.
The bus driver benefits from routes that are created to improve student safety and commute time. The driver receives turn-by-turn navigation instructions, so even if the driver is assigned a completely new and unfamiliar route, they will make every stop like a pro. The bus driver can also account for every student onboard their bus. Similarly, the school district can account for each bus, each route and each student and automatically alert parents through smartphone notifications with any deviation from plan. These same tools are utilized in the event of a confirmed COVID-19 infection. In such a case, the school district would be able to determine each bus, route, bus driver and student that came in contact with the affected student.
The Safe Fleet Connected School Bus represents a very large step towards the IoT (Internet of Things), in which all vehicle systems “talk” to each other. This ‘Incredibly Connected Bus’ enables the communication between multiple Safe Fleet systems and also lays a foundation for when we’ll have devices communicating not just within our own silos, as we see here today, but eventually across systems and networking types for a more connected world. A world in which both the quality and scope of information being accessed from our devices will drive more contextualized and responsive interactions, reactions and overall safety.

### [5 Benefits of Using Video Surveillance for Driver Coaching](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-benefits-of-using-video-surveillance-for-driver-coaching/)
**Published:** October 17, 2022
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
*Your video surveillance system can be more effective at getting to the root of an issue than a traditional training approach.*
Bus video is often used for accident reconstruction, defense of false claims, and overall risk mitigation. At a basic level, you want to see exactly what happened so you can address issues effectively. This makes video surveillance footage a powerful tool for driver coaching.
Your video surveillance system can reduce the costs of conducting a wide range of training sessions and supervisor check-ins. You could choose to rely solely on the data from the video system. Or, you could choose to run in-person programs at a reduced scale alongside surveillance system random checks. Either way, you free up your supervisors for other tasks, eliminate the need for performance consultants, and address real-world versus perfect-world behaviors.
Using video for coaching will save you time. Supervisors can download and fast-forward through non-action sequences to home in on the details that matter most. Hours of ride-along footage can be condensed into an hour of viewing. Or, if you are conducting random spot checks rather than capturing large blocks of time, your supervisors can randomly check in on several drivers in the space of a morning.
### Driver Coaching: More than a Good Idea
A commitment to Driver Coaching yields both agency and driver benefits. Through driver coaching, the agency can reduce operating costs by:
- Reduced vehicle wear and tear.
- Reduced vehicle repair and replacement.
- Lower fuel costs.
- Reduce insurance premiums.
- Improved vehicle uptime.
And the driver benefits from:
- Participating in ongoing constructive conversations that show you value them as a team member.
- Improved working relationships with their employer.
- Non-biased evidence of their performance.
- Ability to relay concerns to management for resolution.
The “driver” bullets above are indirect agency benefits too. They make the work environment a positive one, contributing to driver retention. This alone is reason to build out a driver coaching program.
### Risk Management through Driver Coaching
A key goal of driver coaching is managing risk by reducing the number of accidents the agency is exposed to. This worthy goal leads to:
- Reduced accident investigation administrative costs.
- Reduced insurance claim handling.
- Fewer vehicle repairs.
- Less personnel reassignment/job rescheduling /employee replacement and training.
- Improved agency reputation, and ultimately, improved ridership.
### Don’t Knock it ‘til You Try It
Your video surveillance system can be more effective at getting to the root of an issue than a traditional training approach. This is because driver behavior changes when a supervisor is present — also known as the Hawthorne Effect. When people know they are being observed, they demonstrate best behaviors. These behaviors are often temporary and short-lived. When your supervisor is on-board a bus for training or evaluation purposes, your driver doesn’t always exhibit real-world practices. This results in missed coaching opportunities and inaccurate assessments.
Another reason video surveillance can be so effective for driver coaching is an agency’s ability to leverage the randomness of pulling video. A fleet manager can pull any segment of video at any time without any notice. The drivers never know when they are being observed, and therefore, are on their best behaviors regularly and consistently. And you know what they say about habit…the more your drivers operate this way, the more these behaviors become second nature.
### Still on the Fence? Here are 5 key benefits to motivate you to take the plunge:
1. You’ll be halfway toward implementing a sophisticated driver performance program. All the planning, the processes, and policies you’ll need to establish are the same if you use your video surveillance system or implement a system designed for coaching. Get that initial hurdle out of the way now and build on it when you are ready to take the next step in your driver coaching journey.
2. You will save money. The time and resource investment you make in establishing this program will be offset by the savings. Best driving practices will translate into fewer accidents, fewer repair costs, and lower insurance rates.
3. You will motivate your team. It’s human nature to worry about being watched. But if you frame the program in a positive way and work with your team to build confidence and excellence, you’ll be rewarded with a happier crew.
4. You are one step away from establishing a driver award/recognition program — why not do this too? Coaching is one-half of a powerhouse team when you add driver recognition to the mix. Instilling pride and confidence in your drivers is one thing. Rewarding them and showcasing their performance to the rest of the team is next level.
5. You can leverage your experience to transition to a full driver coaching/recognition program when you are ready.
This point mirrors point one above, but it’s worth repeating. The effort you put into this now will not be wasted in the future when/if you chose to implement a driver performance program. Do half of the work now and leverage this effort when you and your budget are ready to make the move.

### [How One Vehicle Can Expose Agencies to Liability, Brand Damage](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-one-vehicle-can-expose-agencies-to-liability-brand-damage/)
**Published:** October 17, 2022
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Video surveillance systems can help support an agency by ensuring supervisors operate their vehicles in a safe manner and conduct themselves with diplomacy and tact.
Your fleet isn’t fully protected if a portion of it isn’t safeguarded with [video surveillance](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/). Whether you operate one non-revenue/supervisor vehicle or several, the importance of protecting your entire fleet applies equally.
Most transit agencies understand the value of [video surveillance on their fixed-route vehicles](https://www.safefleet.net/markets/bus-rail/transit-bus-rail/fixed-route-transit-buses/). They make use of systems to protect their drivers and passengers by gathering irrefutable evidence in the event of an incident or accident. They also rely on the use of surveillance systems to encourage all bus occupants to demonstrate acceptable personal conduct, including that of the bus driver.
In many ways, supervisor vehicles or [non-revenue vehicles](https://www.safefleet.net/markets/bus-rail/transit-bus-rail/white-fleet-maintenance-vehicles/) present the same exposure risks. An agency still has the need for an irrefutable version of the truth that will stand up in court, as well as the means to encourage their staff to present the best versions of themselves during commonplace and difficult interactions with other drivers and the general public. Unlike fixed-route buses, non-revenue vehicles also present the dilemma of not following a set route. In addition to the gaps noted above, a transit agency also faces the challenge of not knowing where their non-revenue vehicles are and where they’ve traveled. Without video surveillance, supervisor vehicles present an uncomfortable number of liability risks to the transit agency.
### Value of irrefutable evidence
Not knowing exactly what happened or who was at fault can be extremely costly and set actions in motion that can be detrimental to the agency. Take an example that occurred in a parallel industry that has similar challenges to those faced by transit authorities. In this case, the driver of a commercial vehicle collided with a passenger vehicle, severely injuring one of the occupants. The police report found fault with the driver of the commercial vehicle, which resulted in a $40 million lawsuit. Fortunately for the commercial organization, their vehicles were outfitted with video surveillance systems. Footage pulled from the commercial vehicle in question told a different story and ultimately aided in a complete dismissal of the lawsuit.
### Best behavior/behavior coaching
Video surveillance systems can help support an agency by ensuring supervisors operate their vehicles in a safe manner and conduct themselves with diplomacy and tact. Cameras can ensure the agency knows they are employing safe drivers with footage that shows they are not texting, talking on their phones, or distracted from their jobs. Audio helps confirm drivers are conducting themselves in accordance with agency guidelines. Surveillance telematics data also tells the agency their driver obeys posted speed limits, doesn’t make erratic lane changes, or practices harsh braking. This same system can support driver coaching for the same practices — safe behavior and professionalism.
### Knowing where your vehicles are
There’s money to be saved by being efficient. If a transit agency knows what’s going on with their entire fleet and exactly where their vehicles are on a regular basis, they can make better business decisions that ultimately reflect on better use of their non-revenue fleet. Smaller agencies with non-revenue fleets of less than 10 vehicles are just as impacted by not knowing where their non-revenue vehicles are. Agencies that operate larger non-revenue fleets and multiple bus yards/depots must also contend with not being able to locate vehicles within their bus yards, or within their agency’s jurisdiction. Surveillance systems that employ GPS location-based technology can address these challenges. Agencies that know where their non-revenue vehicles are located, and how they are being used, can increase their efficiency, saving both money and time.
### Fully protecting your fleet
Whether a transit agency has a few non-revenue/supervisor vehicles or many distributed among several bus yards — every agency can benefit from having their entire fleet protected. Fully protected, defendable data that they own and can easily access just like their fixed-route vehicles. Data that can enable increased situational awareness, increased coaching ability for consistent and safe behavior, more efficient use of supervisor fleet vehicles, and the ability to know where each one of their vehicles are.
If an agency is not already using video surveillance for supervisor or non-revenue vehicles, they can’t afford not to learn more.

### [Celebrating Jim Haigh — 43 Years of Leadership, Mentorship, and Legacy](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/celebrating-jim-haigh-43-years-of-leadership-mentorship-and-legacy/)
**Published:** January 6, 2026
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
At the end of last year, Safe Fleet bid farewell to one of its most enduring leaders. After 43 years of dedication, Jim Haigh retired from his role as Strategic Account Manager, School and Transit.
Jim has made an incredible and lasting impact on school and mass transportation safety. As employee #1 at Transpec — long before it became part of the Safe Fleet family — Jim helped lay the foundation for what our company is today. His influence has shaped the school bus, transit, motor coach, shuttle, and paratransit industries, and his name has become synonymous with electromechanical safety solutions.
His career has been defined by professionalism, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to customers and colleagues alike. To celebrate his legacy, we reached out to a few who worked closely with him over the years. Their voices — including Paul Prestis, VP of Operations for PTLW; Dan Pulskamp, former VP of Bus & Rail at Safe Fleet; and Joe Allen, Director of Sales, School Bus — capture the immense respect Jim earned across the company.
Jim has been a steady presence through industry changes, ownership transitions, and challenging times, always ensuring Safe Fleet’s reputation as a safety-focused organization remained strong and its relationships intact.
### Building Trust: The Mark of a True Mentor
Jim's readiness to guide others left a deep impression, particularly on those new to the industry. Paul Prestis, VP of Operations at Safe Fleet, recalls joining the company a decade ago:
> “I was a rookie or a novice in this industry, and Jim was the old pro.”
That mentorship extended beyond onboarding. During a period of industry disruption when supply chains were strained and orders delayed , Jim was “frontline on the hot seat” but never wavered. As Prestis explains:
> “Jim did a great job of bridging the gap between where we were and where we needed to get to… maintaining customer confidence that we would recover and support them, which we ultimately did.”
### Walking the Line: Customer Advocacy and Stewardship
Jim’s ability to balance customer advocacy with company stewardship is a rare quality. He never gave away too much, but he never let a customer down. Prestis summed up his talent simply:
> “Jim excelled at walking that line: doing what’s right for the customer and for the company.”
That balance, combined with his calm demeanor, earned Jim deep respect across the industry. Dan Pulskamp, former VP of Bus & Rail at Safe Fleet, described him as one of the best customer advocates he has ever worked with:
> “He goes above and beyond every day. He’s a customer advocate — probably one of the better customer advocates I’ve ever worked with.”
For Pulskamp, Jim was more than a colleague, but a mentor whose reliability was absolute:
> “His word is gold. If he says he’s going to do something, he does it. You don’t have to follow up with him. You know Jim’s got this; he’s gooing to take care of it.”
That unwavering professionalism and reliability earned Jim a reputation that Pulskamp captured in one powerful word:
> “Titan. Irreplaceable Titan.”
### Encyclopedic Knowledge and Lasting Influence
Jim’s presence and encyclopedic knowledge also left a lasting impression on Joe Allen, Director of Sales, School Bus, at SEON/Safe Fleet.
> “He has the ability to just take over the room and the power when he speaks. Everybody pays attention… his overall knowledge of the product and the understanding of how the industry works has always just blown me away.”
Allen recalls a moment in Maui at an industry trade show, where Safe Fleet representatives, OEM partners, and competitors found themselves side‑by‑side on a group outing. Jim carried himself with calm authority — keeping conversations respectful, representing Safe Fleet with confidence, and showing how competition can coexist with professionalism:
> “It’s how you handle competition. Jim kept the conversation active and respectful.”
### The Next Chapter
While Jim’s professional presence and influence are legendary, his colleagues know he is equally devoted off the clock. Beyond the boardroom and trade shows, Jim is a devoted family man. He loves golf, hunting, and spending time with his grandkids. As Allen shared:
> “Honest, respectful, and a friend I’d love to keep, even outside of the industry.”
Jim’s retirement marks the end of an era, but not the end of his influence. His standards, relationships, and examples will continue to shape Safe Fleet for years to come.
...
It is impossible to truly summarize a four-decade career like the one Jim has, but perhaps his impact can best be understood through the heartfelt words of the colleagues and friends he leaves behind:
> “Consummate professional.”
>
> “Titan.”
>
> “Honest, respectful, and a friend.”
***Jim, thank you for everything you have given to this company over the past 43 years. We wish you all the joy and peace that retirement can offer. You have certainly earned it. You’ll be missed, but we celebrate the journey that lies ahead for you!***

### [Get Increased Ridership and Faster Rides with AI](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/get-increased-ridership-and-faster-rides-with-ai/)
**Published:** February 21, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
What if your agency could automatically issue violation notices to vehicle owners who block dedicated bus lanes? Violators would think twice before blocking a lane, making bus routes more effective and getting commuters to their destinations quicker!
### Living with Traffic Congestion
Cities in the US are experiencing a traffic congestion problem. Migration into urban areas, more affordable personal vehicles, and overpopulation are some of the reasons that make commuters lose up to 100 hours a year in traffic [\[1\]](#_ftn1). That is around 2.5 work weeks!
And traffic congestion not only means personal hours lost. It also impacts how passengers and goods flow, the competitiveness of a region, pollution, and overall quality of life.
Dedicated bus lanes are designed to reduce city congestion and ride time for people living near high-traffic areas. In theory, this means a bus lane will only be used by buses for maximum ride-time performance/optimization. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Some large-city transit authorities experience over 1000 bus-lane blockages over a period of two weeks!
Blockages by delivery vehicles, taxis, and personal transportation make routes sluggish. Cities like New York and Washington already report transit speeds of less than 10 miles per hour on average––even 5 miles per hour during rush hour!
Slow bus routes may push riders to use other means of transportation like car-share services or even their own personal vehicles, which worsens the traffic congestion problem even further.
### Faster Commutes = More Ridership
Removing bus-lane obstructions makes bus routes effective, transit schedules reliable, and rides faster. When passengers benefit from a decrease in commute time, fewer wait times, and less vehicle crowding, their experience improves and they are more likely to choose public transit over an alternative.
### Safe Fleet ClearLane™
Safe Fleet ClearLane is an automated bus lane enforcement system that automatically detects lane obstructions and issues violation notices to help improve the commuting experience.
How does it work?
The Safe Fleet ClearLane system monitors bus lanes, automatically capturing evidence of infractions, and analyzing them against the city’s laws to confirm a violation. The system uses two types of bus-mounted cameras (context and ALPR), a computer with inertial sensors, a GPS receiver, and a cellular router.
In simplistic terms, ClearLane works like this:
1. The ALPR camera scans and reads the license plates of vehicles in violation.
2. The context camera captures the event, recording video of the entire scene and identifying the vehicle in question.
3. Advanced A.I. algorithms analyze these recordings and using a GPS receiver, compare them against the laws and regulations of the region.
4. The mobile computer creates an evidence package.
5. The evidence package is sent to the appropriate authorities via the cellular router.
This automated system does the heavy work for you.
### Results Speak for Themselves
After implementing a pilot ABLE-technology program, the MTA reported an increase in ridership of up to 37%. The same agency also reported an increase in travel time of even 30% on specific routes.
And what do riders have to say? The MTA reported a 15% increase in customer satisfaction over other non-ABLE routes.
### What’s Next?
Safe Fleet Clear Lane vehicle position detection, inertial location sensors, and artificial intelligence modeling help monitor bus position and movement. Identifying any vehicles blocking the bus lane with astounding accuracy.
But Dan Pulskamp, VP of Transit Bus and Rail at Safe Fleet, believes this technology benefits people in urban areas through various applications. Sharing,
> *“*\[ClearLane\] *can essentially adapt and expand the base technology elements to other use cases such as bike lane enforcement, time-restricted parking spots, illegal turns, and parking too close to an intersection, stop sign, or bus stop.”*
…*
With Safe Fleet ClearLane, the future of bus lane enforcement looks, shall we say, clear: A.I. technology is already helping agencies become more effective by automating processes and reporting transgressions accurately. And the potential of this solution to help report other instances of transit violations proves the added value and flexibility of the platform.

### [Empowering Paratransit Agencies and Riders with Technology](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/empowering-paratransit-agencies-and-riders-with-technology/)
**Published:** February 8, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Paratransit vehicles are an essential part of every city in the US; and in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), not only an essential but mandatory part of most transit agencies[\[1\]](#_ftn1).
### Paratransit Services Today
The need for paratransit is rising. The MTA in New York City reports their “Access-a-Ride” service has increased in ridership over last year’s figures[\[2\]](#_ftn2). And with the older population in most North American cities growing, this need is expected to become even greater in the near future.
But for a lot of agencies the struggle is real. Labor shortages are making meeting demands tricky. Cities like Buffalo, NY, are battling driver shortages for almost 20% of their paratransit fleet[\[3\]](#_ftn3), which makes providing adequate service difficult. MTA’s service reached a high of 121% of driver no-shows in September 2021[\[4\]](#_ftn4).
The staffing crisis and high turnover rates are impacting paratransit services throughout the US. Ridership is working its way up to pre-2020 numbers, while driver availability is going down. Sign-up bonuses of up to $2,000[\[5\]](#_ftn5) USD are not making the situation any better.
Paratransit users are left hanging whether they’ve made bookings or not. Passengers recognize driver shortages are a big part of the problem, but staffing issues extend beyond the bus to the back office too. This has led to riders being dropped off in locations that don’t align with their end destinations.[\[6\]](#_ftn6)
These problems and the availability of alternative options have pushed tech-savvy riders to opt for competitive means of transportation like Uber and Lyft. These Transportation Network (TNC) Services don’t cater to and haven’t been adapted for this type of transportation. Still, they have proven effective on some occasions.
Because paratransit riders can have particular needs such as wheelchair accessibility or personalized drop-offs, improved safety in paratransit vehicles is paramount. But it’s hard to improve service when resources and staff are scarce.
There is one way to make paratransit service safer, and easier for agencies: technology.
### Technology as a Partner to Paratransit Services
Mobile apps, GPS systems, onboard camera systems and displays, and Wi-Fi/Cellular enabled vehicles offer a chance for a greater, more efficient, effective, and safer experience for all.
How?
**From the agency’s perspective**, these tools support operational activities: Live tracking vehicles, planning and providing better routes, knowing rider’s individual needs, managing resources more effectively, studying driver behavior, and documenting everything that happens on any given day in and around the vehicle with video.
**From the driver’s perspective**, technology makes their job easier: Quick and effective back-office communication, better reaction to unexpected traffic patterns or events, better preparedness for each passenger’s specific needs, improved performance feedback, and video-backed protection in case of liabilities.
**And from the rider’s perspective**, a future-thinking agency’s offerings provide better service: Improved bookings, live GPS tracking, personalized and effective trips, and the invaluable feeling of safety onboard.
Agencies in the City of Alexandria[\[7\]](#_ftn7) and Montreal[\[8\]](#_ftn8) are already implementing technology to improve efficiency and the quality of their service. With a phone app, users can manage and track their reservations, pay by credit card, receive notifications, and more. And with the advent of smart cities[\[9\]](#_ftn9) throughout North America, the link between personal smartphones and public services is expected to grow stronger.
### Unprecedented times require unprecedented solutions.
Technology’s flexibility and adaptability allows agencies to think differently and solve struggles in brand-new ways. And by doing so, improve operations, resource usage, stay competitive, and provide a safer and more effective service for its users.
Are paratransit services going to adapt or become a second, or third option after the big ride-sharing apps?
…
Choosing the right technology partner is key to empowering your paratransit service and providing a better experience for your ridership. Safe Fleet, with its future-proofed, purpose-built, reliable, and safety-focused technology solutions is the one-stop provider that can help you with all your technology needs.

### How to champion sustainable change in your waste management organization.
### Realize Greater Operational Efficiencies and Improve Sustainability.
PART 2 of 3
### **In a previous post in this series, we talked about [the search for the right smart fleet system and how these systems improve fleet safety](https://safefleet.net/blog/advocating-for-a-smart-fleet-management-system-part-1-of-3/).**
In the following post, we’ll continue the discussion by covering how to achieve greater operational efficiencies and improved sustainability.
### Realize Greater Operational Efficiencies
A smart fleet management system positively impacts your operation from dispatch to maintenance, through to billing and administration. Here are some specific examples:
- ****Driver and Administrative Labor****
ROI analysis confirms a reduction in daily administrative paperwork, office support, driver route times, and improved route efficiency.
Results vary based on company fleet size, routes, customers, and other operational data, however, research estimates savings in this area can span from $2,500 to more than $5,000 in annual cost improvements for every truck.
- ****Vehicle Maintenance****
Research in this area estimates that monitoring and managing driving and braking patterns for improved driving practices and reduced idle times results in savings and improvements of up to $2,000 per truck annually.
- ****Fuel Consumption****
Monitoring and managing idling percentages and speeding infractions, and access to insight that enables a reduction in the amount of unnecessary travel can save your operation money.
Research estimates your fleet’s projected annual savings on fuel consumption per truck to be as high as $1,500.
- ****Service Delivery****
The “goodwill benefits” that come from satisfied customers are hard to quantify. However, the revenue impact of reducing missed pickups and increasing service delivery are easily demonstrated.
Additional roll-off benefits and extra commercial revenues can be calculated to show potential bottom-line impacts to your fleet operations.
### Take Efficiency to a New Level with a 360° View, Smart Displays and Management Dashboards
Up to 8 cameras can be installed on a truck to provide a more comprehensive view of incidents and service data. Evidence captured from these cameras is automatically recorded by the onboard DVR and viewed using an in-cab smart display.
The benefits to waste fleet managers are compelling:
- An improved ability to make the right decisions — A visual presentation of performance measures lets you identify trends in driver behavior, track vehicles and service performance, and measure efficiencies.
- A better optimized organization — By working from a universal set of metrics, all internal functions can track to a single set of organizational goals and performance.
- Increased operational efficiencies — Save time by running one comprehensive report, gain total visibility into all fleet information, better manage routes and drivers, and respond faster to customer service issues.
- Respond to issues faster — Rapid detection and identification of problem areas, means better exception management from drivers to vehicles and routes.
### Green it Up – Boost your Sustainability
The implementation of a smart fleet management system supports a leaner and greener fleet by improving fuel consumption, reducing overall mileage, and reinforcing greener driving behaviors. For example:
- ****Improving fuel consumption****
Fuel costs account for a major portion of your total fleet operating cost and vary according to vehicle type, driving style, and mileage.
A smart fleet management system can reduce fuel consumption and carbon footprints by optimizing each truck route to reduce time spent on the road, engine hour outputs and vehicle runs per day. System alerts flag excessive driving patterns and aid in coaching for better behaviors. Alerts can also help a fleet manager address vehicle maintenance issues so repairs can occur before problems arise. The end result: greater vehicle uptime.
- ****Reducing overall mileage****
Fleet management systems provide automatic turn-by-turn driving directions to the driver and automatically recalculate the route when a driver selects an out-of-sequence manual stop. This ensures each route is optimized for time and distance, and reduces overall mileage.
- ****Supporting driver excellence****
Best driver behavior is fundamental to gaining fleet efficiencies. Even the most fuel-efficient vehicles will perform poorly with an inefficient driver behind the wheel.
Fleet mapping and monitoring tools provide the insight fleet managers need to work more proactively with drivers to ensure and reinforce better driving behavior.

### **How to champion sustainable change in your waste management organization.**
### **The Case for Fleet Management, Fleet Safety and Risk.**
PART 1 of 3
### Your search for the right management system
Waste collection fleet managers face increasing pressure to deliver more efficient, responsive, environmentally friendly, and safe services. As a result, there is an increasing demand for “smart” fleet management system technology in the industry. This type of technology:
- Helps a waste & recycling organization stay connected with what’s happening on each truck in-the-moment.
- Enables drivers and back-office resources to coordinate nimble and efficient maneuvers when necessary.
- Presents a completely transparent fleet operation.
Transforming your fleet management system into a smart fleet management system starts with the following steps:
1. Research available industry systems. Look at the benefits they deliver and assess their potential impact on your organization.
2. Shortlist the systems and compare how their value aligns with your goals: safety, green-results, productivity, customer-focused, etc…
3. Pick a winner. Develop a rough cost-benefit-timeline with your vendor-of-choice.
4. Make the case to senior management.
5. Plan a sensible path forward for you and your system and vendor-of-choice across your fleet and back-office operations.
The lift can be heavy, but the gains are worth it. This series of blog posts will help lead the way by presenting the benefits your fleet can achieve with smart fleet technology. These posts will help you present your case and develop your strategy for a successful, smart technology implementation and adoption.
### Pump Up the Safety and Drive Down the Risk
Fleet operators face increased risk of collision, injury and even fatality in day-to-day business. The indirect and direct costs associated with these risks, insurance premiums and legal impacts make fleet safety initiatives a critical concern for fleet managers and senior executives.
[A smart fleet management system](https://www.safefleet.net/markets/commercial-vehicle/waste-recycling/) can pay for itself through the savings it delivers on the safety front alone. It provides real-time driver data for effective issue resolution, constructive feedback, and coaching and recognition.
You’ll increase the success of your smart fleet safety system roll-out if you:
- Provide your fleet managers with real-time visibility into driver activity and behavior.
- Give all departments access to centralized fleet safety performance data for a completely transparent representation of your fleet safety performance.
- Track individual driver behavior patterns. Weigh, and score data, and alert managers when risky behavior is reported.
- Organize data into real-time reports for all safety data, policies, objectives, and initiatives.
Of all the fleet safety components, driver monitoring and the ability to easily score driver behavior is the most important. With limited or no visibility into driver activity, a fleet manager can’t effectively mitigate risk. This lack of visibility directly impacts risk exposure, safety records, and operating costs.
A smart fleet management solution provides critical visibility into truck and driver activity and the path forward to increased fleet safety, improved safety records, improved customer service and lower operating costs.
### Map your Fleet for Greater Insight
[Fleet mapping](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-management/waste-route-management-system/) improves fleet safety through greater insight. See where a vehicle is relative to towns, cities, highways, streets, or reported events and reconstruct a driver route for improved accident investigation, claim disputes or driver coaching. Verify deviations or unscheduled side trips. View alarm criteria such as speeding or unscheduled side trips.
Get the most from your fleet mapping:
- Track drivers— data and events are geo-coded (GPS) to increase precision as required.
- Understand how vehicles are being handled (hard stopping / quick acceleration / Idling, etc.)
- Determine which drivers consistently generate alarms (and locations of alarms).
- Monitor driver speed in relation to speed limits.
- Plot locations of alarm occurrences.
### Reports and Alarms
Evaluate overall fleet and driver activity by collecting relevant and actionable information:
- Graphically view route progress and status in real time.
- Report the exact route each vehicle took for any day.
- Record detailed events during accident situations.
- Proactively monitor various Key Performance Metrics (KPM) with customizable deviation thresholds that automate supervisory alarms.
- Map overall driving patterns and alert managers in real-time.
### Accident Investigation
Data captured from these systems helps an operation respond to event claims with accurate and defendable evidence. Disputes are addressed more efficiently, fairly and with less of an impact on your wallet.
When incidents occur—and they will—it is essential to have accurate information for defense against false claims and fair and appropriate consideration in at-fault claims.
A[ smart fleet management system automatically and continuously records video](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/waste-management-fleet-camera-system/) from [every available camera on each truck](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/waste-management-fleet-camera-system/waste-and-recycling-cameras/). Captured video evidence is available for live streaming or archive retrieval. When an incident occurs, a shock detection sensor automatically captures video and sends a recording to the server. The recording captures the 15 seconds leading up to the event and the 15 seconds following it.
Drivers can also record detailed information during their shift with the simple press of a button. In addition to tracking driver activity and reports, vehicle reports monitor vehicle usage, including:
- Recorded events.
- Recorded alarms.
- Vehicle usage.
A smart fleet management solution provides critical visibility into truck and driver activity and a path forward to increased fleet safety, improved safety records, improved customer service and lower operating costs.

### [Where is Isaac? How Technology Can Prevent School Bus Safety Issues](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/where-is-isaac-how-technology-can-prevent-school-bus-safety-issues/)
**Published:** October 8, 2024

Seven-year-old Isaac was supposed to be home by 3:00 PM. The school bus was once again late. This time by over 10 minutes. The city was growing fast, and the school had received an influx of new students. School bus delays were becoming frequent.
When the bus finally approached, Jenny immediately noticed the regular driver was not at the helm and the driver’s assistant was also not on board.
"This explains the delay," Jenny thought as she watched the unfamiliar driver sort through a stack of papers and apologize to the gathering parents. But her heart sank as she saw no sign of Isaac.
“Where’s Isaac?” Jenny asked the driver.
“The regular driver is sick. I am filling in for him. When we counted the kids, the number was right. Let me radio the school.”
The school requested the driver ask the kids onboard about Isaac, but none knew of his whereabouts.
The driver told Jenny the school would call her directly and her cell phone rang shortly after.
“Hello ma’am, we haven’t located Isaac yet, but we are actively working on it. The authorities have been contacted. We’ll keep you updated”
After hanging up, Jenny called her daughter Maria, Isaac’s sister, hoping Isaac had made it home on his own. Maria confirmed he hadn’t.
Too worried to wait patiently, Jenny drove to the school.
The principal, the school transportation director, three police officers and Isaac’s teacher were at the school's main entrance. The principal, looking at Jenny, apologized. "We believe Isaac got on the wrong bus. "
Just then Jenny’s phone vibrated.
It was her daughter, Maria: "Mom? Isaac is here! He’s okay. He and Julian decided to have a playdate. Isaac got on Julian’s bus and went to Julian’s house!” Maria explained.
“How is that possible” asked Jenny?
“Isaac said they found another student’s paper bus card on the ground. It was the same color as Julian’s card.”
Jenny thanked Maria and explained what happened to everyone in the room
"You know, that happens, especially on Fridays,” replied the principal. “Kids love playdates. Our paper system is challenging sometimes, especially when the drivers don't know the kids. Please accept our apologies. We’ll make sure this never happens again."
\------
Jenny’s drama could have been avoided if the school had leveraged technology to address this type of problem - replacing fear and panic with confidence and trust in the school and its officials.
The same situation involving a school bus fleet equipped with an integrated student tracking accountability solution would have informed school officials and Isaac’s mother where Isaac was. Before this event could even happen though, an integrated system would have flagged the driver that a student was trying to board the wrong bus. So, the adventure would likely have never occurred in the first place.
This type of safety framework delivers peace-of-mind. School districts can easily use technology to keep parents or guardians updated on where their kids are, when they board the bus, where the bus is located and when they will reach their destination.
Let’s break down what happened with Isaac and how it could be avoided using technology:
### 1. Driver Confusion:
Substitute drivers and even regular drivers can become unfamiliar with their routes (think construction zones and re-routing due to weather occurrences and collisions). Substitute drivers are also not familiar with the children assigned to a route or bus. The reliance on paper lists, are also difficult to manage and prone to errors.
A school bus equipped with an **Integrated Routing System**, an on board computing tablet that contains school bus routes, and the identities of children associated with each stop, and an integrated RFID card system would automatically give the driver turn-by-turn directions, registering every child to board or exit the bus with specific stop details. In other words, students would always be accounted for on their way to or from school.
### 2. Situational Awareness
Live Video Streaming provides an additional safety layer. Critical in an emergency, Live Streaming would have provided a visual confirmation of Isaac on the right bus – on his way home from school as expected.
### 3. Student Misidentification:
Isaac got on the wrong bus because of a bus card mix-up. A tablet would show the driver a picture of the student boarding, based on the RFID card they are using. In this case, the driver would see, at a glance, that Isaac looks nothing like the student whose card he was using.
RFID cards would also keep a tally of how many students are on board each bus – essential information in an emergency.
The same **RFID card** can be used to access classroom doors, lunch cards or even Library access and book sign-out privileges.
### 4. Other Technology that could help:
Electronic Attendance Systems:
RFID tags could help schools automate attendance protocols. Integration with school databases would have administration time from manual processes, ensure accuracy and make for better overall performance and efficiency.
### 5. Real-Time Tracking and Automated Alerts and Notifications:
GPS-enabled school buses allow parents and school staff to track bus location data in real time.
Mobile apps or web portals enable parents to monitor their child's bus route and estimated arrival times.
Automatic notifications are issued to parents when a child boards or exits the bus. Parents receive an immediate alert if their child is not on their assigned bus or if the bus is experiencing delays.
### 6. Digital Communication Platforms:
Dedicated communication apps help build parental trust by enabling parents, teachers, and bus drivers to report issues and check status.
Centralized systems reducing reliance on phone lines ensure all inquiries and emergencies are handled efficiently and effectively.
A safety framework is not only about preventing accidents but also providing peace of mind for the school staff and parents. An integrated IoT (Internet of Things) system comprised of sensors, school routing systems, and digital video surveillance cameras can increase accuracy, improve safety, communication and operational efficiency by minimizing human errors and automatizing daily routines. School staff can focus on the student wellbeing and being prepared to act rapidly, and appropriately in the event of an emergency.

*VP of Law Enforcement at Safe Fleet*
Every IACP is a success, but having attended more than 20 IACP events, we can confidently say this year’s event was one of the best. And we have you thank for it. Overall, the event drew in more than 14,000 public safety professionals, which for us meant we met with a lot of new faces and a lot of friendly and familiar faces.
The familiar faces, our existing customers, continue to honor us with their trust and commitment to top quality evidence capture and management integrity, security and useability. And new prospects, reaffirm our dedication to developing an ecosystem of solutions designed specifically for law enforcement – an ecosystem that provides an officer with everything they need to be patrol-ready.
### IACP Recap in text and photos
At this year’s IACP event, we showcased our new Safe Fleet FOCUS in-car video system with ALPR to attendees from around the world who are in search of solutions to help them improve their operational efficiency and get more done with greater accuracy. The FOCUS in-car system with ALPR does just that! The system’s value in helping law enforcement create safer communities is evident to some of the world’s largest agencies who are currently deploying it. We’ll cover this in more detail later in the post.
We had a fully outfitted patrol car on display, featuring our FOCUS ecosystem products including body worn cameras, and an in-car video system with ALPR. Attendees appreciated the hands-on experience gained by interacting with each of our ecosystem products for a glimpse into how a fully integrated system of officer, vehicle and evidence capture systems would perform in the field.
Evidence collected on the tradeshow floor was immediately available for viewing and management in our video and evidence management system, Nexus, which was displayed on a touchscreen monitor.
“Protection of data is of critical importance in law enforcement,” says Mark Griffin, VP of Law Enforcement, Safe Fleet. “Agencies were keenly interested in system security and the benefits of Nexus on that front. We were able to demonstrate two-factor authentication and single-sign on in the vehicle, which is new to many in the industry.”
“Visitors to our booth immersed themselves in the full ecosystem experience, mentally matching our systems against their current workflows and SOPs, and witnessing the true synchronicity a fully integrated system delivers – all systems including the officer working together in a seamless flow of productivity and efficiency,” adds Griffin.
### AI is the force multiplier we’ve been waiting for – doing more and increasing accuracy
Our FOCUS in-car system with ALPR, mentioned above, drew the most attention in our booth. It features AI-enhanced Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR), which is changing the law enforcement landscape by increasing an officer’s ability to do more, with boosted accuracy.
The Safe Fleet in-car video system natively supports AI-enhanced ALPR, which enables a higher level of data collection/matching accuracy over typical IR camera solutions. The system also features a smaller footprint than traditional ALPR hardware, saving precious space in the vehicle. It requires no exterior vehicle modification and operates with the in-car video system, leveraging the existing interactive dash touch screen, and simplifying overall operation. ALPR continually runs in the background of the in-car video system. Officers can perform duties as usual; the ALPR system will alert them when a vehicle of interest is identified. This further benefits the officer by saving them from unnecessary distraction.
“Our AI-enabled ALPR platform was just rolled out this year and we’ve already successfully deployed to some of the largest law enforcement agencies in the United States” adds Griffin. “Displaying this solution at IAPC showed officers and command staff how the system drives value throughout the entire agency.”
### Where we are today and where we are going
Two main themes were evident in our IACP 2023 booth:
### The Law Enforcement Internet of Things:
Safe Fleet is developing an ‘Internet of Things’ approach to our law enforcement market offerings. In-the-field and back-office safety, efficiency and productivity are enhanced with connectivity. That’s why we are focusing on the Connected Officer, Connected Vehicle and Connected Back-Office.
1. We help law enforcement officers get patrol ready with products and services designed to improve their safety and the safety of the communities they serve.
2. We provide vehicle upfitting services as well as in-car evidence collection systems to further enhance an officer’s ability to serve and protect.
3. And we develop secure and efficient back-office systems that provide evidence management, chain-of-custody, evidence sharing, governance and case investigation insight.
We have our eyes on these ‘Internet of Things’ prizes for you in 2024:
- Live video streaming
- Holster, two-way and multiple evidence capture activation
- All camera activation from one device
### The Connected, Smart City:
We’re also focusing on the Connected, Smart City and helping to drive safety forward as a whole, coast to coast. Safe Fleet is uniquely positioned with evidence capture solutions that are deployed on fleets of all shapes and sizes within every large metropolitan city in North America. Each of these fleets collect evidence and manage it on the same digital evidence management (DEM) platform. And even though each fleet is operationally different and uses different workflows, the captured evidence would be managed in the back end collectively and available for any agency to gain insight from.
“Ultimately, everything moves through law enforcement,” adds Griffin. “Whether we are talking a waste, light rail, transit, school bus or law enforcement vehicle that captures that evidence, it can be used to evaluate events or issues for further action. If further action is necessary, law enforcement is going to be involved, not just managing the event, but also potentially supplying evidence for prosecution or perhaps even policy change. So really, all this evidence needs to be collected, reviewed and managed together.”
***Safe Fleet is Driving Safety Forward™***
Safe Fleet knows fleets and we know Law Enforcement. We’ve been developing and delivering safety and efficiency solutions that meet the needs of fleets for the better part of 40 years. The next 40 years will see Safe Fleet continue to deliver thoughtful and innovative solutions to address the evolving needs of communities, law enforcement agencies and the connected cities we’ll live and work in.

### [Improve Safety and Response to Emergencies — Live-Streaming Inside School Buses](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/improve-safety-and-response-to-emergencies-live-streaming-inside-school-buses/)
**Published:** June 27, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
As millions of students in North America travel on a school bus each day, securing their safety is a serious matter.
In recent years, school districts have been adopting and implementing the latest, advanced technology features on their school bus fleets to enhance the safety of their riders. From high visibility Stop arms to camera-and-sensor-backed systems.
Camera systems play a vital role in enhancing student safety while on the bus. By having a clear view of everything in and around the school bus, school districts can ensure students are following safety rules and have a source of clear evidence in case of an incident.
Camera systems provide the basic and necessary safety foundation for every school bus. School districts can elevate the safety level they provide students on the bus by adding complementary technologies to their existing camera system. Live streaming as an example.
You can implement live-streaming when you pair a camera system with school bus internet connectivity. This technology allows school administrators to have a real-time video stream, see what’s happening on-board the bus and act quickly in the event of an emergency.
### Live-Streaming Inside the Bus
[Live-streaming](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/live-video-streaming/) allows schools to monitor bus activity in real time by accessing views from cameras installed on the bus. The footage is transmitted to authorized school administrators using an internet connection and is accessed using a secure portal.
### Respond Quickly to Emergencies
Live-streaming enables greater safety inside the school bus by helping officials respond to emergencies quicker and with greater accuracy. In the event of an [unexpected incident](https://bc.ctvnews.ca/school-bus-crashes-into-ditch-on-sunshine-coast-1.6411864) or [security threat](https://www.whas11.com/article/news/education/jcps-parent-bus-threats-lmpd-children/417-d9f6e066-932a-48e7-a32f-79951497e4a0), a live-streaming camera inside the bus provides critical data (What? Who? Where?) that could alter the outcome of a response.
### Boost Parent–School Communications
The evidence gathered with the help of camera systems and video recorders helps parents learn more about the circumstances leading up to reported behaviors or incidents on the school bus. Video footage provides transportation officials and parents with clear evidence of what has occurred and gives them the peace of mind their children are in good hands.
### Enhanced Safety
Accuracy and timeliness are the two key components of every successful outcome. Give your bus drivers and students the increased safety these two response elements provide in the event of an incident with live streaming, and help parents rest easier knowing any event will be addressed quickly and effectively.
Live-streaming technology inside the school bus is a great way to enhance the safety of students and school personnel inside. By monitoring dangerous behavior, effectively responding to crises, and improving communications, school administrations can provide a better overall service and improved safety for everyone on board.

### [From Lab to Street: How to Unleash the Power of AI on Public Transit](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/from-lab-to-street-how-to-unleash-the-power-of-ai-on-public-transit/)
**Published:** December 7, 2023

Over the past decade, improvements in computational power, including Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), dedicated accelerator chips, and new algorithms and learning techniques, have enabled rapid advances in AI and machine learning. This means many real-world problems, including those faced by transit can now be solved by AI running in real-time, even on embedded devices.
Cities are becoming more congested, causing longer transit ride times. Many North American cities average transit bus speeds below 10 miles per hour. Increased congestion and longer ride times are key contributors to the decrease in ridership affecting many North American transit authorities. Congestion also contributes to environmental damage, reduced productivity, lower standards of living, and wasted time and energy.
These real-world problems regularly challenge transit agencies. Taking individual drivers off the streets and helping to make transit more attractive would help solve part of the issue. Helping to make transit routes more efficient would be another.
What if we used technology and AI to focus on the specific challenge of helping to keep dedicated bus lanes clear to meet both of these issues in one approach?
That’s exactly what we did. Today, we will take you on a journey behind the scenes and give you a peek into the crafting, training, and deployment of powerful AI models in the real world for the transit market.
### Nailing Down the Vehicle Position: Which Lane Are We In?
Consider the problem of accurately determining the position of a vehicle––which lane is it traveling in? Getting this level of precision is a game-changer, enabling a range of applications from automatic parking violation enforcement to providing invaluable city insights, such as identifying potholes, graffiti, and overgrown trees.
A GPS receiver mounted in the transit vehicle (such as a bus) can provide the approximate position of other vehicles on the road. But it is not accurate enough to determine the driving lane, especially in city centers with many tall buildings. By using the captured footage from a camera mounted in the transit vehicle, an AI model can be created to detect curb locations and the position of the curb. The footage also helps provide additional information to determine the driving lane.
### Power Players: Neural Networks and Deep Learning
The most powerful AI models use neural networks and deep learning. A neural network is a computer system designed to simulate the way humans learn and process information. Deep learning is a way computers learn to understand and make sense of really complicated information. Deep learning is not unlike, how we learn from lots of examples to recognize things or make decisions.
By using a lot of examples and GPUs (really fast computer chips), we teach the computer by reviewing the examples many times. It figures out the best ways to make accurate decisions not just for the examples it sees, but also for new situations in the real world.
Think of it like teaching a musician to play a guitar. The musician practices with a vast collection of songs. Through this exercise, the musician learns not only to play those specific songs but also to adapt and play new ones. Similarly, AI models, using deep learning and large datasets, learn to give accurate answers beyond what they were initially trained on.
### Diving into the Training Data: The Heart of Model Development
Below is a sample of some images used to train the model for curb detection. In each picture, a real person carefully marks where the curb is in bright green. This is the data the machine learns from. It's like teaching it to recognize curbs by showing it every possible scenario - empty roads, busy streets with cars parked along the curbs, daytime and nighttime conditions, and more.
Having a variety of scenarios is important. This way, the machine learns to understand curbs so well, it can make decisions on its own regardless of the conditions of the road.
### Thousands of Images, Countless Iterations: Model Refinement
When we're teaching the computer, we give it a whole bunch of pictures, sometimes even tens or hundreds of thousands!
Scientists and developers carefully design the computer's learning process, sort of like planning a special workout routine. Then, they start the training process, which is like a series of workouts, to make sure the computer gets really good at recognizing objects in the pictures.
This whole process is quite detailed, we’ve simplified it for the purposes of this post.
### Putting AI to the Test: How It Performs in the Real World
Once the AI model concludes its training, what comes next? While the team may be happy with the training data results, the proof lies in real-world performance. Testing and validation under realistic conditions is the necessary next step.
The images below show alerts triggered by a system engineered to identify pedestrians in close proximity to transit buses. The system provides early warnings to avert accidents, particularly during left turns.
The outcomes depicted above are commendable, flagging potentially critical situations. Yet, during the early stages of AI model testing, a few scenarios like the ones below also activated alarms:
### The Continuous Loop of Improvement
These instances present a challenge! Traffic cones, road markings, poles, and shadows were erroneously identified as people. In these cases, the AI model's training process is enhanced, or the model's internal structure is adjusted to boost its capabilities.
These false positives serve as valuable cues—these specific images, along with others resembling them, are incorporated into the training dataset as negative examples. Essentially, the model is explicitly trained to recognize that there are no people in these images, resulting in an enhanced, refined model.
This continuous refinement loop propels the technology to greater power and precision over time.
### A Bright Future with AI-Powered Fleet Safety Solutions
In this era of unprecedented technological strides, the potential of AI is boundless. With the fusion of computational prowess, cutting-edge algorithms, and relentless innovation, AI now stands as a powerful force for real-world problem-solving.
Ready to witness firsthand how this groundbreaking technology is ensuring a future of smoother, smarter journeys for all? Learn more about AI-powered fleet safety solutions:

### [School Bus Cameras Plus Live GPS Tracking — a Powerful Combination](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/school-bus-cameras-plus-live-gps-tracking-a-powerful-combination/)
**Published:** September 26, 2012
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
## 4 ways mobile video and live GPS tracking can help improve school bus operations.
Over the past 10 years, mobile video and live GPS tracking have quickly become must-have tools for student safety and fleet management. The purchase of a school bus camera system is a necessary safety precaution, and in some states a mandatory regulation; but live GPS combined with your videooffers additional benefits such as enhanced safety, increased security, and better return on investment. Here are just four ways that video combined with GPS can help improve school bus operations:
1. ### Act Quickly in Emergency Situations
Knowing what happened in the case of an emergency is essential. GPS data pinpoints the exact location of any bus in your fleet when an accident or potential hijacking occurs. Video will allow you to do a live look-in to see the situation as if you were in the driver’s seat. You no longer need to guess — live GPS tracking and mobile video give you the power to KNOW,as soon as possible. Live GPS data combined with video helps you assess the situationquickly and efficiently.
2. ### Resolve Parent Concerns More Effectively
With the level of risk in school transportation, video and GPS allow you to know exactly what happened, and get the answers that you need to investigate any situation. Mobile video and live GPS tracking help you answer parent complaints about missed stops, late buses, student behaviour, or any other concerns they might have; they do this by tracking any activity on all of your bus routes. Administrators know if their buses are running late, or if they made the right stops. Live and historical data provides confidence for operators to offer accurate information to worried parents or any other questions that arise.
3. ### Easily Identify Fleet Inefficiencies
The opportunity to review all activity on your bus offers major benefits. GPS combined with video data can uncover hidden costs that add up over time and drain your operational budget. For example, GPS tracking provides reports on idling and excessive speed, while video shows driver behaviour in more detail. This can then be corrected to increase fuel efficiency and therefore, save money. You can monitor bus location and direction, speed, stops, and any alarm activity to ensure good driving habits, efficient routing, and that driver time sheets are accurate. Small improvements on driver behaviour can have a big impact on fleet efficiency.
4. ### Provide Peace of Mind for Drivers, Fleet Managers, and Students
Being the first to know about any problems on your fleet can deliver greater peace of mind. Receive live alerts that give you the chance to act quickly to ensure the security and safety of all passengers and drivers. Live GPS tracking combined with mobile video can support drivers by confirming what happened and where. School bus drivers are able to concentrate on driving safely and professionally, without having to worry about false accusations.
Together, live GPS tracking and mobile video provide critical information that any fleet manager should not have to live without. By being able to stay “in-the-know,” the guessing game can be over, and more time can be spent improving productivity, increasing efficiency, and saving money. The power of *knowing* gives fleet managers the security, safety, and control over any situation or concern that arises on a day-to-day basis.

### [The Evolution of School Bus Stop Arms: From Basic Safety to High-Tech Protection](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-evolution-of-school-bus-stop-arms-from-basic-safety-to-high-tech-protection/)
**Published:** September 6, 2024
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
School Bus stop arms have come a long way. What started as a manual means of alerting other drivers to the school bus and the presence of children has evolved to incorporate significant innovation to counter ever-increasing traffic and driver distraction.
### Need for Innovation: Addressing Safety Concerns
Our roadways have become busier, and despite our best efforts we continue to see more frequent and serious injury to students in the danger zone. Gains from traditional stop arms have started to fall short, as student injury statistics continue to rise. Early improvements like reflective materials and basic lighting helped, but now, more is needed, especially in poor weather or low-light conditions.
Distracted driving has made things even worse, with more drivers missing stop signals due to mobile phones or in-car tech. The demand for highly visible, unmistakable stop arms has become clear and urgent.
Enforcing stop arm laws has also been tough. Accountability was slow even when violations were recorded, weakening the deterrent effect.
### The Digital Revolution: Enhanced Safety
These challenges highlight the need for innovative, reliable solutions to signal drivers to stop and enforce safety rules effectively leading to the digital transformation of school bus stop arms. At the forefront of this evolution is the Safe Fleet Illuminated Stop Arm—a state-of-the-art tool engineered to significantly enhance student safety.
Key features include:
- **High-Intensity LED Lights & Reflective Decals:** Equipped with high-intensity LED lights visible from up to 250 yards away and reflective decals, this high-visibility design ensures motorists can’t help but notice it— in any light or weather, significantly reducing the risk of accidents when students are boarding or exiting the bus and helping to prevent illegal passing incidents.

This integrated system not only alerts drivers but also aids in enforcement, helping school districts improve overall traffic safety.
More than just a stop arm, the Safe Fleet Illuminated Stop Arm is a vital safety tool for any school bus fleet dedicated to protecting students. Our customers feel the same way:
> “What we are really impressed with is the high illumination of the stop arm. That light just cuts through. It’s a nice, clear, bright white light with the addition of the red flashing lights and really draws a driver’s attention to that extended stop arm. It allows the sign to be seen in the rain, snow, mist and fog. And it gives our drivers some confidence that when the stop arm is deployed, that it is seen.”
>
> “Our drivers are also reporting a significant drop in the number of stop arm violations they have been experiencing, which is really a testament to the effectiveness of the stop arm.”
Paul Davis, Fleet Director and Safety Coordinator, Park Adam Transportation.
To really appreciate where we are today and where we are headed, we need to look to our recent past. Let’s take a short walk down memory lane.
\---
School bus stop arms have always been crucial for student safety. While their primary function—signaling drivers to stop—remains unchanged, the technology behind these devices has advanced significantly. Let's explore the transformation from simple mechanical arms to advanced safety systems.
### 1922-1945 –The Early Days: Simple Yet Effective
Initially, stop arms were basic metal devices with reflective "STOP" signs. They were manually operated and relied on driver compliance and visibility, especially in low-light conditions. Though effective, the growing traffic and increased road activity highlighted the need for better solutions.
### Post-War Innovations: Mechanizing Safety
In 1945, the air-operated stop arm revolutionized school bus safety. Powered by the bus’s air brakes, this stop arm extended automatically when the bus stopped, eliminating the need for manual operation. This innovation made the process more reliable and consistent, setting the stage for future safety advancements.
### 1965: From Blades to Stop Signs
In 1965, school bus stop arms switched from a blade-style to the familiar stop sign shape. This change wasn’t just for looks—it made the signal more visible and recognizable. The bold, universal design helped drivers understand the need to stop, boosting student safety. This update improved compliance and reduced accident risks, highlighting the importance of clear signals on the road.
### The Future: What’s Next?
As we look to the future, the evolution of school bus safety continues, with advancements like AI-powered predictive technologies that are already being realized through the Safe Fleet Illegal Passing Suite.
AI-driven technologies are becoming more sophisticated, not only predicting and preventing illegal passing but also integrating with smart city infrastructure to create a safer urban environment. Advanced communication systems are being developed to enhance real-time alerts for drivers approaching a bus with an extended stop arm, further reducing the risk of accidents.
While these innovations are on the horizon for many, Safe Fleet is already leading the way, offering school districts a glimpse of what’s possible today and setting the standard for what’s to come.

### [The Importance of Digital Video Recording in Public Transit Accident Reconstruction](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-importance-of-digital-video-recording-in-public-transit-accident-reconstruction/)
**Published:** December 18, 2012
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
When public transit is involved in a traffic accident, crash investigators have the difficult task of accident reconstruction. This usually involves an examination and analysis of the roadway, physical evidence, and vehicle damage. Investigators traditionally have produced collision analysis, speed analysis, crash scene mapping, and computer aided drawing programs to simulate what happened.
But the recent proliferation of mobile DVR systems can virtually eliminate the guesswork by letting investigators actually see what took place both inside and outside of the bus. Here are just four ways that DVR systems can be an important tool for public transit accident reconstruction:
### 1. Analysis of Existing Video by Investigators
The way that evidence is presented can influence the outcome of a fair trial; both parties involved in an accident have attorneys that will be fighting for the success of their individual case. This is what makes the work of an accident reconstruction investigator important. The analysis of existing video in the case is valuable, as the findings may help simplify complex details for jurors. Video footage may prove that the claims made by the plaintiff are true, but they may also prove that the accident was brought on by the injured party, rather than the defendant.
### 2. Dashboard Cameras — Driver’s Point of View
It is a good idea to have front-facing cameras on transit buses. Dashboard/windshield cameras typically have greater than a 90 degree field of view, giving a superior overview of the scene ahead; ideal for accident reconstruction. Seon’s CHW HD Wedge windshield bus camera is available with a 2.5 mm lens in support of front-facing applications for a wide-angle view of the road from the driver’s point of view.
### 3. Video Management Software — Precise Data at your Fingertips
Video management software helps you zero in on the details of the accident and see what exactly occurred. Administrators can retrieve key details about onboard incidents using video synchronized with mapping software. Video data can easily be retrieved when searching by video clip, alarm, or date and time. Seon’s vMax® View lets you see telemetric data such as GPS tracking (location, direction, and route taken), speed, signals, and idle time information. All of these pieces of evidence can help plead your case and set the facts straight.
### 4. Digital Accelerometer — Driver Behavior & Accident Detection
Accessories like an accelerometer can either be added to your existing DVR system, or they are often already incorporated within the DVR. Seon’s XELR-8 Digital Accelerometer includes two modes of detection: accident and driver behavior. The accident detection mode is triggered when the vehicle safety threshold is exceeded. Driver behavior mode is triggered by a vehicle’s excessive skidding, braking, and acceleration. With video management software, you can then quickly receive the data you need to know if the accelerometer was triggered during the time of the accident; thus, providing more valuable evidence for your particular case.
These are just four ways that DVR systems can help solve what happened in the case of a transit accident. Video is the proof you need to avoid false accusations and lawsuits; video may help absolve the driver of fault, and your company from paying a huge settlement for injury or property and vehicle damage. Why take the risk of going without it?

### [The Importance of Real-Time Information for School Bus Fleet Management](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-importance-of-real-time-information-for-school-bus-fleet-management/)
**Published:** March 5, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
In the past technology limitations kept student transportation departments from gaining real-time data about their fleet operations. Today, software can provide immediate insight on what is happening on any vehicle on the road and allow live video streaming from the bus. Those school districts that use fleet management solutions with real-time data are able to respond faster to emergencies and significantly reduce their operation costs.
So, here are three reasons why getting real-time data is so important for efficient student transportation:
### Reason #1 – Faster Accident Response and Emergency Prevention
Even though school buses are the safest mode of transportation for getting students to school, accidents on the road happen when no one expects and school districts should reduce their risk by being prepared for them.
Last month, an unusual situation happened in Isle, Minnesota when a school bus went out of control after the driver suffered a medical emergency. The vehicle was swerving all over the road and at one point almost fell into a ditch. There were eleven students on the bus – from age 6 to 14, who were witnessing this scary situation for approximately 14 minutes and five miles. Luckily, the police were alerted and helped to stop the vehicle (Read the full story from [Global News](http://globalnews.ca/news/1829728/watch-out-of-control-school-bus-after-drivers-suffers-medical-emergency/)). If the same situation happened with one of your buses and drivers, it would be extremely helpful to get an immediate live view of what’s happening on board.
Imagine the power of modern software which provides real-time data about your fleet movements. If an accident happens, you can go into your routing platform, get a live view from any camera installed on your vehicle, find the closest available buses, and send them for help. Or, you can also immediately send emergency crews and police representatives to the place of the accident.
One of our customers, the Tyler Independent School District transportation department, tapped into the power of real-time data and managed to improve accident response times by 75%. With integrated routing, live GPS, and student tracking solution from Seon, the District now has the tools to deal with emergencies faster.
“We had a driver call in a problem with a student on the bus and then the radio went dead, “ recalls John Bagert, Tyler ISD’s Director of Transportation, “Knowing we had a student emergency, and not able to contact the driver for a location, we scrambled into action”.
After implementing vehicle and student tracking, Tyler ISD noticed significant improvements in student security. “The panic buttons on the bus work extremely well. We have individuals that are notified via email and contacted via cell phone when a panic button is pressed. We also have visibility on the panic alerts across the transportation department because they pop up on our screens. This \[map-based view of our fleet\] offers us the ability to mobilize resources to any bus located anywhere in the district in less than three minutes!”
Tyler ISD also uses another powerful feature of Seon’s integrated transportation solution – geofencing. This produces an on-screen alert if a bus goes out of the assigned zone. It’s a reliable backup when the panic button fails or can’t be pressed in case of a driver medical emergency or bus hijacking. If radio contact is not possible and the bus is travelling out of range, the geofencing alert is a clear signal of a security problem and it triggers an immediate dispatch of the emergency response team. At the same time, Live Streaming permits users to view video of the inside of any bus in real-time, so that when the unthinkable happens, fleet operators can see exactly what's happening on the bus and take immediate action.
### Reason #2 – Lower Operations Costs
Access to real-time data allows transportation supervisors to track live routes and show planned vs. actual routes on a single map. That can result in significant fuel and labor savings, as happened with Tyler ISD.
“In our initial pilot of 10 buses, we identified two buses that were taking a long, round-about way that increased their mileage by 28 miles each way every single day,” calculates Bagert. “We fully expect similar savings when we roll the service out to our entire fleet of 131 buses, likely enough to fund our initial investment and pay for ongoing operational costs.”
[Live GPS fleet tracking software](https://www.safefleet.net/live-gps-tracking/) also provides Tyler ISD with information on stops, excessive idling and speeding, as well as advanced fleet performance reports to help identify behaviors that waste fuel — potentially saving them thousands of dollars a year in fuel costs.
### Reason #3 – Accurate Student Tracking
Another benefit of getting real-time information about your fleet is instant student ridership counts. Modern software allows transportation managers to get an accurate list of children travelling on the bus with their contact information. It is a perfect solution in the case of an accident, when staff representatives have to notify parents, as well as for responding to enquiries about missing stops or student location.
The future is bright for real-time data solutions that can save you time, effort, and even perhaps your sanity, in the face of rising expectations from parents and administrators.

### [Ramp up your Fleet Safety and Efficiency Game with Wireless Downloading](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-ins-and-outs-of-wireless-downloading/)
**Published:** April 17, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
We were recently joined by Don Carter, Director of Transportation for Port St. Lucie Public Schools in Florida, for an informative webinar featuring hints, tips, and best practices for implementing wireless video downloading for school bus fleets. Bob Burke, Account Executive for Seon, explained how the hardware, software, and support components of a wireless downloading system interact before presenting five steps to successful implementation:
1. **Work with your school district's IT department.** It's important to bring in the IT department right away to get agreement on issues such as whether to create a new network from scratch or to piggy-back off an existing network
2. **Select a vendor that has Certified Wireless Network Professional (CWNP) certification.** The wireless technology landscape is changing rapidly and designing a network to handle video is much more complex than setting up a Wi-Fi router at home.
3. **Ensure your hardware is up to the task.** It may be necessary to upgrade your existing equipment, but it's possible to do this piecemeal as your budget and resources allow.
4. **Learn how to do more with** **less.** Know where the biggest opportunities for improving efficiency are so that you can intelligently make your case for tools to help you.
5. **Prove ROI.** Be prepared with itemized and quantified sources of savings that wireless downloading can bring.
We were thrilled to see a turnout of over 130 attendees who asked many interesting questions during the extended Q&A session at the end of the webinar. Bob and Mr. Carter did their best to answer most of them before time ran out:
***Q: When requesting video, is the request based on bus number, date, time, or something else?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** All of the above. You will get a notification that there was an incident on the bus, so you’ll know the bus number that that was on. You can then schedule the video download in [Safe Fleet Video Management](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/cloud-based-video-evidence-management-for-school-buses/) based on the time and date of the event. Also, since the late 2000’s we have offered a passive GPS receiver on our camera systems. This little magnetic receiver ensures that the time and date stamp is up-to-date all the time on our DVRs and also provide the location of the bus and the speed the bus was going when reviewing the video on our software.
***Q: Does the bus have to be running to download video? And if not, are dead batteries an issue when you leave the cameras or downloading on after turning off the bus?***
**A: (Don Carter)** The cameras can record for one hour after the bus is turned off. In our experience, we found we can download videos up to four hours after the bus has been turned off before starting to run into issues with dead batteries.
***Q: How long does it take to download video?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** It depends on your network and the resolutions of your cameras. Let’s say you have a call about an incident and a request for 30 minutes of video. After you log into Safe Fleet Video Management on the Nexus platform to schedule the initial download you have the option of downloading in high resolution or low resolution. You can download the 30 minutes in low resolution for your initial investigation, and you might then realize that there is only 2.5 minutes of video that you need to view the incident in question, which you can then schedule to download in high resolution. This will reduce overall download times.
**A: (Don Carter)** We have different systems; the older analog ones, as well as the new HD ones. We went from four cameras systems to six camera systems, and we also got 8 camera DVRs that are fully HD in new buses. What we are finding, especially with these brand-new buses with the full HD is that it takes a while if you are going to try and download an hour. So along with downloading in low-res first we use another trick: if we know that we had an on-bus incident on one of our buses with 8 cameras we can exclude downloading the cameras facing outside. High definition definitely takes up a bit of room but once you see the footage you just can’t go back, it’s so crystal clear. I’m sure the technology and download speeds will get better and better, but right now you just have to plan for it taking a little while.
***Q: How many people can have access to this system? Can they view the video at once and can you share access to the videos with a specific school principal or superintendent? Does it need to go through the transportation department first?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** In regards to permissions, Safe Fleet Video Management is very granular it can be tailored to each individual customer. Everybody has different needs in regards to how they want to see the video management system perform – who has access to the video, who can look at the video, who can request video downloads.
**A: (Don Carter)** At St. Lucie our IT Department has set us up with Microsoft One Drive. We can make upload requests with Safe Fleet Video Management from anywhere since it’s cloud-based, but the actual server where the videos go is owned by the District and it resides on our property. I then review the video, clip the relevant or requested part, and share it with the principals or administrators via One Drive. There are certainly other ways, your IT department can hook you up.
***Q: What is the best way to format and send video clips to the authorities in case of a criminal investigation? Do we need to provide some type of viewing software?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** Law enforcement gets involved more often than we would like I think. There is no right or wrong way to share video. All our video is always recorded in a proprietary format. That protects the video. It belongs to our end users (you as the customer). And you decide how you are going to deal with this. We will make suggestions, we will help, but again there is no wrong way. If it’s going to be part of a chain of evidence going to court, we have five different archive options in sharing our video and creating that chain of evidence. There’s a Seon file format that creates a small propriety file that needs to be played back through our software. We have Windows Media file types WMV and advanced AVI. If it’s not a serious incident and you just want the Principal to look at it with Windows Media Player or VLC, you can save it in that format. We’ve got self-playing proprietary files, MP4 formats. We’ve got plenty of options for you to decide for that particular instance what’s the best way to manage that particular video.
***Q: Re: managing multiple sites. If you have a district with 30 sites, can you potentially provide access to all 30 sites to be able to request and pull video? Can you talk about how the system handles that type of scenario?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** There’s no real limit to Safe Fleet Video Management. We do multiple compound locations. Anywhere the bus connects to an existing network that you have or one that we’ve built with your IT department. The bus connects to the network, the video request starts to download and even if it is interrupted like the bus is at a school district and it gets interrupted, the video remains there. It doesn’t have to start over. As soon as it gets to the next school district or to a fueling station or wherever you’ve got WiFi it will continue that download request.
***Q:* *What happens to videos after they are uploaded? How do you recommend storing the videos after they are uploaded? How much server memory is required? Are the videos saved in the Safe Fleet Cloud platform, Nexus? What format are they saved in?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** When you pull a hard drive, you open up our software. The hard drive is connected through a USB device to the computer and you open up our vMax View software and you’re looking at video and archiving it to a computer or a sever or your own LAN Cloud. So when you are in Safe Fleet Video Management, again you’ve requested your video download, it will show in the video downloads section. Once you’ve clicked on that video that has downloaded, it opens up our vMax View software so from that point you determine if this is going to be part of a chain of evidence? Am I just going to have to share it with one of the local principals? You can put it on a thumb drive. You can put it onto a disk. Or you can put it in your own LAN or Cloud and give that principal access to the video and look at it there. Nexus, the Safe Fleet cloud platform powering Safe Fleet Video Management enables that upload requests be made from anywhere, but all the video always resides in your secured network.
As far as the amount of storage you need that does vary on fleet size, how many video requests you are getting per day. I would say and again we would have to confirm with our engineering services department, but smaller fleets of 50 buses or 100 buses or less can get away with a Core I5 or 7 terabyte PC for video storage. Anything bigger you are probably going to need a server to start storing the video, but again all these questions get asked and answered in the initial investigation. When we are talking to you, talking to your IT department, how many video requests you are getting per day all this will be pre-determined before any money is spent.
***Q: Our systems are a mix of HD and Analog. What is the recommended max video time requested?***
**A: (Don Carter)** We try really hard to stay under an hour. The normal thing about a school call and I’m not really worried about how quickly I get the video back to them as long as it’s within a day. But if it’s something that ultimately is really serious, like criminal action and you’ve got law enforcement standing there wanting a video, it may be one of those times where you just go get it the old fashioned way because if you need it right now immediately, you might not want to wait for it to download.
***Q:* *We know you can do firmware updates and set fleet configurations through Safe Fleet Video Management. Can you also format hard drives through Safe Fleet Video Management?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** No you can’t format drives through Safe Fleet Video Management . Nor can you format drives through our viewing software. If you’ve got Safe Fleet Video Management or not, if you’ve got our software opened up you cannot format a hard drive and accidentally erase video. You have to physically be on the bus with a monitor plugged into the DVR and you have to tell the DVR to format that hard drive. We’ve stayed with this model since we started with digital recorders back in 2004 and it’s been a best practice because we’ve never had a video accidentally erased with our software or with Safe Fleet Video Management. You have to physically go up to the bus and do it. Nor can you delete a section of video. We’ve had transportation departments contact us where they’ve been accused by a parent saying “no you just deleted that event.” If you’ve got events, before and after, there’s no way you can delete the middle. You can delete all of our video, or none of the video.
***Q: How do we get an idea of what our school district needs and what would be the best for our school district and bus companies?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** We would begin the initial discovery and investigation. Start by talking to your sales executive and then we would get your IT department involved on a webinar with our professional engineering services department to take a look at the existing network you have. Then we would look at some budgetary numbers and proposals along with the ROI calculator. We’d vet your existing hardware if you have to update any of the hardware or get new hardware if you aren’t a current Seon customer. It’s a pretty straightforward process, it doesn’t take a long time. Our Engineering Services department usually responds within two to five days with a site assessment and then we would set up a webinar after that to talk with yourselves and your IT department.
***Q: What is the recurring fee after implementation?***
**A: (Bob Burke)** The annual recurring fee is only $36 per year, per bus. So that’s year two and thereafter.

### [Top 8 Ways Wireless Video Downloading can Actually Save you Money](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/top-8-ways-wireless-video-downloading-can-actually-save-you-money/)
**Published:** April 17, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Installing a bus camera system is an important step towards improved passenger and driver safety, but many organizations find retrieving and managing the video footage more of a challenge than they bargained for. Although you may want to avoid the initial expense of investing in a wireless network infrastructure and video management software, they can actually save you money in the long run.
Here are our top 8 ways to justify adding wireless video transfer to your bus camera system implementation:
### \#1 – Avoid hard drive loss or damage
Manually removing a hard drive from your mobile digital video recorder (DVR) opens you up to the potential that the hard drive could be dropped or damaged in transit. Replacing damaged hard drives can be costly, but even more costly is the loss of the video on the hard drive. This could leave you without the visual proof needed to eliminate liability claims or address on-board passenger and driver behavior.
### \#2 – Eliminate bus video system downtime
Safe Fleet's [video management software](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-software/) gives you a web-based view of the health status of your entire video system. You can see exactly which bus has a hard drive, DVR, or even which individual camera has a potential problem, and act swiftly to repair or correct it. Without this key information you may never know that your bus camera system is not operating correctly or recording video – until it’s too late.
### \#3 – Reduce liability claims
One of the main reasons to install bus video systems is to avoid false liability claims. If you don’t have a wireless video retrieval system, you need to manually remove a hard drive to view the video recorded on it. If a hard drive is not put back in the system after viewing, you are taking the chance that video is not being recorded, leaving you unable to defend against false claims. The cost of this mistake can be as much as $30,000 — the estimated average value of an injury claim.
### \#4 – Save on labor costs
Manual video retrieval can be time consuming if you have a large number of video requests or you need to travel to multiple bus yards to access video. Carlos Chicas, former Transportation Director of Stockton USD in California, estimates that he saved on average $5,200 a year in labor costs by investing in Seon’s wireless network and video management software. Considering travel time and labor costs, this figure could be even higher!
### \#5 – Quicker video location & retrieval
One of the biggest potential time-wasters is locating relevant video footage. Many hours can be spent pulling hard drives and viewing video to finally find the incident reported. Safe Fleet Video Management makes finding makes finding video quick and painless, by allowing users to search for video not only by date and time, but also by geographic location, vehicle, or route.
### \#6 – Safeguard sensitive video footage
Maintaining the chain of custody is important when handling any video footage that will beused as evidence. Any unauthorized handling of video can render that evidence useless, opening you up to a costly lawsuit. Video management software offers you the ability to assign unique user permissions so that you can control and limit video access to only authorized personnel.
### \#7 – Reduce the chance of video loss
Automatically downloading video to a centralized server or network also reduces the chance that important video is lost or misplaced. Anyone who has had to admit that a hard drive is lost, and video is not available to settle a claim, can attest to the value of this feature.
### \#8 – Schedule automatic video downloads
If you don’t want to take a chance that video is no longer available when an incident is reported at a later date, your video management software allows you to trigger video downloads based on certain alarms or events. For example, if a driver hits the panic button or a G-sensor threshold is breached, you can trigger an automatic video download for that event. That way the video is downloaded and stored in a central server until you need to access it.
These are just 8 ways that software and infrastructure for wireless video downloading can potentially save you thousands of dollars a year and yield an immediate return on investment. Time, labor, and savings on litigation alone can often justify the expense.

### [Peace of Mind: How and Why Tracking Students on School Buses Enables Enhanced Safety](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/tracking-of-students-on-school-buses-enables-enhanced-student-safety/)
**Published:** May 9, 2023
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
The tracking of students on school buses is all about safety and parent empowerment. To do their jobs properly, school districts need a reliable way to communicate student and bus data to authorities during emergency situations and to parents for everyday peace-of-mind.
From a safety perspective, boarding a school bus can be viewed similarly to boarding an airplane. Knowing who is on the vehicle contributes to the level of safety that can be provided. In some cases, this knowledge determines whether the bus even leaves a stop. Some districts believe a student tracking program is mandatory and will not allow students who are not enrolled in the program to board.
## THE VALUE OF STUDENT TRACKING
Student tracking technology delivers real and concrete benefits to school districts and comfort to parents. Here are a few examples:
### Ensuring Communication
Students don’t always get off at the same stop every day; sometimes they get off the bus with a friend and go to the friend’s house instead. Having access to real-time information on who is on the bus and who exited the bus at which stop reduces unnecessary fears and misinformation. If a parent calls, the district knows they have the latest and most accurate information.
### Ensuring Safety
Student tracking systems also relieve a burden from your bus operators. Operators can focus on the safe loading and unloading of students while scanning oncoming traffic for potential risk.
### Ensuring Accountability
Student tracking systems help increase accountability for school staff and students. By monitoring bus location, schedule, and other data, parents have greater confidence their kids are transported safely and efficiently.
### Ensuring Efficiency
Student tracking enables a wide range of back-end data that can be fed into annual reporting, budgeting and resource allocation and route scheduling and optimization programs.
## **How It Works**
As each student boards their bus, they scan their RFID cards on a card reader mounted at the top of the front stepwell. Student data is transmitted over a secure cellular connection that enables real-time access to vehicle occupant information and rapid lookup of last known student location.
Student names or personal information ARE NOT transmitted.
In cases where operators are transporting special education students, operators can manage the student ID cards, scanning the appropriate card for each student as they board.
## PAVING THE WAY TO ONBOARDING YOUR NEW SYSTEM
Getting a student tracking program up and running takes time and planning. Here are a few suggestions to help you prepare:
### 1. Get the word out.
Tell parents, students, the community, principals, all departments in the school district, and bus drivers about your proposal. Focus on conveying the safety message and downplay the use of the word “tracking.”
Assure your stakeholders the technology will only be used to determine the identity of each student on each bus, including their boarding and exit stops along with relevant timestamps.
### 2. Above all, get buy-in from your bus operators.
Turn your operators into “program champions.” Ensure each operator understands the value of the system to them specifically.
Operators are currently expected to do everything all at once — drive the bus, watch the mirror, watch the cars, watch the students, notice who gets on and off the bus at each stop, and take down the make, model, and license plate of cars that blow past when students are at risk. Bus operators need to know this system will help them stay on top of their responsibilities easier.
### Successful roll-out strategies
Once you’ve made the decision to implement a student tracking solution, the following tips can help you roll it out successfully:
1. Tie your student tracking program in with another program such as a lunch or student ID program. A tracking card on its own could easily get misplaced or lost. A card that is tied to a lunch program is far more important to the student and students will take extra care.
2. Try not to launch your program at the start of a school year when things are already somewhat disorganized. It takes time to get your message out there. You also need to factor in time for working out the kinks on all levels — with students, parents, and drivers.
3. Start small and go from there. Try your program with grades K – 6 in the first year. The following year you can expand to middle through high-school.
### The main goal here is to always know who is on the bus – increasing student safety at every turn.

**Published:** August 20, 2024
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Every school morning, an invisible line is crossed that puts our children's lives at stake. Within the 10 feet surrounding a school bus—known as the "Danger Zone"—lies a growing, urgent crisis. Illegal school bus passing has increased in record numbers.
The 2024 NASDPTS Illegal Passing Survey presents a dire statistic: over 45 million violations occur each year, spiraling upwards by 3.9% from last year's already alarming figures, highlighting the growing challenge of school bus stop arm violations.
Fortunately, the industry is implementing innovative technologies and comprehensive safety measures to protect our children. Let's explore the risks in the Danger Zone and the latest efforts to mitigate them.
### Understanding the Risks in the Danger Zone
The Danger Zone is particularly fraught with hazards due to the high volume of children and the unpredictability of traffic around school buses. Some of the key risks include:
1. **Illegal Passing**: Despite the presence of stop arms and flashing lights, many drivers illegally pass stopped school buses, creating a perilous situation for children boarding or disembarking the bus.
2. **Limited Visibility**: Drivers often have limited visibility of children, especially in low-light conditions or when children are crossing the street.
3. **Distracted Driving**: The prevalence of distracted driving, including the use of mobile phones, increases the likelihood of accidents in the Danger Zone.
4. **Impatient Drivers**: Impatient drivers may attempt to overtake stopped school buses, ignoring the safety protocols meant to protect students.
5. **Student Behavior**: Some students can be unpredictable, have short attention spans and can be easily distracted. They may move too quickly or forget to look both ways before crossing the street. This makes it imperative for drivers to exercise extra caution around school buses and be prepared for sudden movements.
### Efforts to Minimize Risks in the Danger Zone
The alarming statistics surrounding school bus accidents have prompted a concerted effort from various stakeholders—including school districts, technology providers, and policymakers—to enhance safety measures. Here are some notable advancements:
**Boosting Safety through Awareness and Education**
Teaching drivers and students about school bus safety is crucial. Awareness campaigns about stop-arm laws and the risks of illegal passing play a key role. Additionally, schools and communities instruct students on safe practices like waiting for the bus to fully stop and making eye contact with the driver before crossing.
**Predictive Technologies**
Innovative tools like the Predictive Stop Arm ™ (PSA) use radar and analytics to detect when a vehicle approaching a stopped school bus might not stop in time, giving students seconds to move to safety.
**Enhanced Visibility Features**
High visibility stop arms and driver alert devices ensure buses are more noticeable to drivers, reducing the likelihood of illegal passing.
**Automated Enforcement Systems**
Systems like the Safe Fleet Stop Arm Violation Enforcement System (SAVES) are transforming violation detection and enforcement. High-resolution cameras accurately record illegal passing incidents, aiding law enforcement with solid evidence to prosecute offenders and promote safe driving practices.
### SAVES and The Illegal Passing Suite
One of the most comprehensive approaches to tackling the problem of illegal school bus passing is the Safe Fleet Illegal Passing Suite, which includes the innovative SAVES system. This suite of technologies provides a multi-layered strategy to enhance school bus safety.
- [**Safe Fleet Illuminated Stop Arm**](https://www.safefleet.net/products/passenger-pedestrian-safety/stop-arms/)The Illuminated Stop Arm features a highly reflective decal and the word “STOP” brightly backlit with LEDs, making it readable at 100 yards and visible at over 250 yards. This exceptional visibility drastically reduces the likelihood of illegal passing.
- [**Driver Alert Device**](https://www.safefleet.net/products/vehicle-safety-lighting/driver-alert-sign/)The Driver Alert Device complements the stop arm by alerting drivers to the presence of a stopping or stopped school bus, mounted at the back of the bus, the device flashes “Caution – Stopping” when the bus slows down and “Stop Do Not Pass” when it’s stopped, and the stop arm is deployed.
- [**Predictive Stop Arm™ (PSA)**](https://www.safefleet.net/products/passenger-pedestrian-safety/predictive-stop-arm/)The Predictive Stop Arm combines radar and predictive analytics to monitor approaching vehicles and predict potential stop arm violations. When a threat is detected, the system warns students, giving them a precious 3-4 seconds to avoid danger.
- [**Stop Arm Violation Enforcement System™ (SAVES)**](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/ai-powered-stop-arm-violation-enforcement-system-saves/)The responsive and crucial component of the Safe Fleet Illegal Passing Suite is the SAVES system. This advanced enforcement tool uses high-resolution cameras and sophisticated AI algorithms to capture and document illegal passings with over 98% accuracy. SAVES not only captures still images of the violating vehicle but also records video evidence and details such as the vehicle’s make, model, license plate number, location, and time of the offense. This comprehensive evidence package ensures violations hold up in court.
SAVES outperforms similar solutions by delivering:

### [Using AI to Power Next-Generation Public Safety, Transit and School Bus Platforms](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/using-ai-to-power-next-generation-public-safety-transit-and-school-bus-platforms/)
**Published:** October 17, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Earlier this year we announced an exciting new partnership with Rekor Systems, the global AI technology company that provides roadway insights for safer, smarter, and more efficient cities. The partnership is part of the Safe Fleet commitment to innovation in the public safety, transit and school bus markets. Let’s take a deeper dive into our collaboration.
### A Tale of Two Leaders
Safe Fleet has an established and broad portfolio of smart safety solutions for fleets of every type. From mobile video solutions and telematics to a rich history of electromechanical safety solutions, to next-generation, smart detection and prevention safety technology, Safe Fleet is saving lives, preventing injuries and making people and fleets more productive.
Rekor is a trusted global authority in developing and delivering roadway intelligence utilizing state-of-the-art AI and machine learning. Pioneering the implementation of digital frameworks in our communities, Rekor collects, connects, and organizes worldwide mobility data, laying the foundation for a digital roadway operating system. Rekor’s solutions provide actionable insights that give businesses and governments a comprehensive picture of the roadways while providing a collaborative environment that drives the world to be safer, greener, and more efficient.
### Strength (and Value) in Numbers
Our markets are seeing the need for increased roadway safety. “Rekor technology enriches what we already do, bringing an additional level of intelligence to our solutions. By extension, this means more capability to agencies across law enforcement, transit and school bus markets,” says Julian Jimenez, Product Manager, Safe Fleet.
The Safe Fleet/Rekor partnership is complementary. David Desharnais, President and COO, Rekor, likens it to the marriage of chocolate and peanut butter. “It makes good sense,” he says. “Rekor focuses on developing the technology that drives access to insight and Safe Fleet focuses on developing the applications that solve market challenges.”
### Intelligence + Safety Tech
Safe Fleet Smart Safety Solutions use the Rekor license plate and vehicle identification AI technology. Trained over many years and millions of images, the resulting technology is incredibly transformative. Some specific use cases that help make roadways and communities safer include:
**Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) for Public Safety Markets:** Captured license plate data is compared against law enforcement hot lists of stolen or wanted vehicles, while officers are on patrol. This instantaneous notification of a warranted driver and/or stolen vehicle enhances officer safety. This solution provides an additional benefit – it runs in the background of the Safe Fleet in-car system, eliminating the need for separate hardware and reducing the full product footprint in the patrol car.
**Automated Bus Lane Enforcement (ABLE) for Transit Markets**: Real-time identification of vehicles illegally occupying bus lanes for ticketing purposes helps clear bus lanes for riders to experience faster, smoother and safer transit trips.
**Stop Arm Violation Detection System for School Bus Markets**: Drivers violating a school bus stop arm and illegally passing a stopped school bus have their license plate, vehicle information, state of origin and vehicle position data captured and packaged for ticketing.
### Where the Rubber Meets the Road
Safe Fleet customers are finding these smart detection systems to be game-changing. Safe Fleet has performed successful pilot and certification testing at several transit authorities in North America and continue to enhance the application based on direct customer feedback.
In the public safety market, a major U.S. police agency liked what they saw in the Safe Fleet ALPR system. They recently made the decision to outfit 600 patrol cars with ALPR technology running on their in-car camera systems.
The Stop Arm Violation Detection System is in the early stages of development, but it’s already attracting strong interest from several school districts looking to pilot technology that can help improve safety outside the bus.
### Power of the Platform
The partnership between Safe Fleet and Rekor helps Safe Fleet demonstrate our ‘Power of the Platform’ initiative.
This important initiative highlights the technology and expertise gained from solving one market problem can uniquely solve issues in other markets.
As an example, capturing vehicle ID information and comparing it against rules-based algorithms in law enforcement (while meeting the stringent safety and security protocols public safety demands), can benefit the transit and school bus markets with a few alterations.
This is what was accomplished with the Safe Fleet law enforcement Automated License Plate Recognition system. At its core, this solution reads vehicle, make and model, and license plate detail and compares the captured data against a hotlist of vehicles and drivers to be on the lookout for.
This technology was put to use in the transit Automated Bus Lane Enforcement system. In this case, the system uses the license plate recognition application and applies it to reading vehicles in or near dedicated bus lanes, bundling evidence packages of confirmed violations for citation by the Department of Transportation.
Taking the application developed for transit into the school bus market, the same technology reads license and vehicle data of vehicles and drivers violating school bus stop arms, and bundles and processes the evidence for citation by local law enforcement.
Our VP of Marketing, Lori Jetha, explains it this way. “We have decades of experience working with law enforcement and transit agencies, school districts and waste management operations. We've developed a technology platform to take what we traditionally did, which was video surveillance and electromechanical products, and added intelligence to it. So, in the case of a person who goes missing, other agencies could leverage that same platform to help locate the missing person. Or in the case of an emergency like a bus hijacking or security incident, this platform can help multiple agencies (Police, Fire, Transit, School Bus) respond faster with better information.”
### On the Horizon
Given the fact Rekor specializes in roadway intelligence, there’s a good chance you’ll see more collaboration and integration with Safe Fleet technology in the future as well. But we are getting ahead of ourselves.
Today, Safe Fleet, as a member of the Rekor Partner Network (RPN), can collaborate with the like-minded, heavy hitters who are focusing on extracting value from connected vehicles and roadway intelligence. Safe Fleet and Rekor are also currently working to find synergies between both organizations that will help power the advanced safety systems of the future.
We aren’t getting ahead of ourselves when we say our ongoing collaboration is going to be exciting. If today is any indication, the excitement has already begun. We hope you join us for the adventure.

### [How ALPR Devices Help Mitigate the Impact of Crime in Your Commumity](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-alpr-devices-help-mitigate-the-impact-of-crime-in-your-commumity/)
**Published:** March 1, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
A vehicle owner's worst nightmare is to have their car stolen. In the US, a vehicle is stolen every 33 seconds. The national vehicle theft rate is 268.2 cars per 100,000 population, which is currently rising[\[1\]](#_ftn1).
It is also expensive! Vehicle theft is one of the costliest crimes for law enforcement agencies and their communities. In 2019 alone, vehicle theft cost more than $6.3 billion nationwide[\[2\]](#_ftn2).
And while vehicle theft is in itself terrible for the individual, the story does not end there.
A stolen car can be the start of a series of crimes that grow in severity and impact on the community. 97% of motor vehicle thieves were also charged with other crimes like arson, drug trafficking, shootings, and even homicide.
### Identifying Crime
Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is a surveillance method that uses a camera system to read vehicle registration plates. The technology behind ALPR can help police mitigate these subsequent events by identifying stolen vehicles at the scene of a crime before they are driven off-site. The data generated by ALPR also helps police identify patterns of criminal activity and even predict future thefts before they occur.
### Keeping Officers Safer
Prior to ALPR, whenever a situation arose, officers were dispatched to investigate. Several officers in multiple police cars would conduct a sweep, street by street, vehicle by vehicle, to locate the threat. This approach tied up an excessive allocation of resources that could be better utilized in other areas.
Today, ALPR systems automatically scan vehicles to look for license plates that appear on hotlists. These systems help officers better prioritize their time – they don’t require officer intervention until a hotlist match is made. In this instance, the officer is notified of the match and provided high-level details of the vehicle and associated crime before the officer commits to the act of pulling the vehicle over.
This helps agencies improve officer and public safety and officer productivity
### The Benefit of AI over Traditional ALPR Devices
Traditional ALPR systems use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) process where license plate images get converted into machine-readable text. The system’s accuracy depends on it being trained on a large dataset of different state-issued license plate styles, colors, and fonts.
AI and machine learning improves accuracy and efficiency over traditional ALPR devices that use OCR by using more advanced algorithms to recognize characters. These algorithms can learn from examples and improve over time, whereas traditional OCR relies on pre-defined rules for character recognition.
Additionally, AI and machine learning can handle variations in font, size, and layout, which can be difficult for traditional OCR to handle. Providing more accurate and efficient results than traditional methods.
### Improving Agency Efficiency
ALPR has been widely accepted as an effective tool to help reduce crime. Law enforcement agencies in over 75% of American cities with 100,000 inhabitants or more use license plate readers[\[3\]](#_ftn3).
Mitigating crime not only improves community standards of living but also the agency’s efficiency. In the UK, agencies increased their yearly arrest figures tenfold compared to previous years, not only reducing crime but also increasing the amount of value of goods recovered[\[4\]](#_ftn4). And in Ohio in 2004, ALPR technology increased criminal detention and vehicle recovery up to 50% compared to the previous year[\[5\]](#_ftn5).
### The Safe Fleet ALPR
A good ALPR system on your vehicle should allow your agency to:
- have uncomplicated, streamlined, low-maintenance operations with high-quality outcomes.
- free your officers of time-consuming, distracting tasks to focus on immediate at-hand issues.
- seamlessly integrate with your existing systems.
- help your agency become more efficient and responsive to urgent needs.
The Safe Fleet ALPR solution allows you to do that and more.
ALPR devices have traditionally been complicated systems––costing more and taking up a lot of space. The Safe Fleet ALPR solution is integrated into a Safe Fleet DVR and takes no more space than the DVR itself, and one additional compact camera.
The Safe Fleet ALPR system can operate connected or standalone, allowing for fast and reliable operation even in areas with poor cellular coverage or laptops that are bogged down with other software.
Information captured on in-car hardware can be automatically uploaded, stored, and accessed through the cloud.
Boasting superior accuracy rates, the Safe Fleet License Plate Aggregation software module uses AI in all the ways mentioned earlier in this article for a greater than 98% accuracy license plate detection rate, even in plates with different layouts and characters such as motorcycle plates and state-to-state variants.

### [How School Buses Safely Transport Students, And How We Can Help Prevent Injury](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-school-buses-safely-transport-students-and-how-we-can-help-prevent-injury/)
**Published:** February 1, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Each weekday, around 25 million students in the US hop on a school bus to get to school. School buses provide 70 times more chances of safe arrival to school, compared to a personal car.[\[1\]](#_ftn1)
Even so, there is still an annual average of 128 school transportation-related fatalities.[\[2\]](#_ftn2) That is an unacceptable figure---one fatality is too many.
Let’s talk about why school buses are safer, and what can WE do to prevent injury to students.
### SCHOOL BUSES ARE SAFER… BUT HOW?
With a design that helps prevent injuries and protect in collisions, and stop-arm laws in every state, school buses are the safest and most regulated vehicle on the road. It all comes down to these two things:
### 1. Design
the vehicle infrastructure is built to help prevent injury. Most school buses have the following:
- Highly visible color. YELLOW!
- A large, impact-cushioning body frame.
- A system of flashing, bright lights.
- Cross view mirrors.
- A Stop Arm.
- Protective seating.
### 2. Regulations
School buses are the most regulated vehicles on the road. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has a long list of requirements to make sure every bus meets safety standards. A few must-have elements are:
- Emergency exits.
- Interior protection.
- Strong floor.
- Seating systems.
- Vehicle operating systems.
Also, speed limits, school bus stop laws, and general transit laws play an important role in making the trip to school a safe one.
### HOW CAN WE HELP PREVENT STUDENT INJURY?
What takes safety to the next level? It’s the practices that you, me, drivers, and students do every day.
According to the NHTSA, the greatest risk to students is not on the bus, but on the way to and from the bus. Arriving at the bus stop before the bus, waiting until the bus is at a full stop before approaching, and avoiding walking behind the bus are some of the practices that we should teach students.
Motorists should also pitch in! Slowing down in school zones, learning and obeying bus laws (like stopping when the bus is unloading students), and being more alert when driving creates a safer experience for everyone.
### FOSTERING A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WITH SAFE FLEET
Safe Fleet has over 100 years of experience in creating advanced technology for fleets. Our mission is to help reduce risk to everyone in and around these vehicles.
When we talk about school buses, we have developed solutions that help create and maintain a safer environment for bus drivers, students, and pedestrians. From A.I. predicting stop arms to a GPS-tracking platform, we have the technology to help lower the risk to students on their way to and from school.
### THE END-GOAL
Why do we invest? Why do we buy insurance? Why do we brush our teeth every day? To build an armor that helps us overcome obstacles and secure our future.
People, and especially our children, *ARE* the most precious future. And they are definitely worth protecting.[](#_ftnref1)

### [How to Use Technology to Help Increase Passenger Safety and Reduce Crime on Public Transit](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-to-use-technology-to-help-increase-passenger-safety-and-reduce-crime-on-public-transit/)
**Published:** January 24, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
The COVID pandemic has had a huge impact on our society. Transportation is no exception.
The number of people traveling by public transit has dropped dramatically since the pandemic began. In fact, in some cities, it's down to half of pre-2019 figures[\[1\]](#_ftn1). Most North American cities have not bounced back to pre-pandemic levels and are not expected to in the near future[\[2\]](#_ftn2).
The decline in daily riders brings an increase in crime––and not just petty crimes. For example, in April 2022, a man wearing a gas mask entered the NYC subway armed with a gun and smoke grenades. 23 people were injured[\[3\]](#_ftn3).
A 2021 survey in the NYC subway showed that riders are reluctant to go back to public transit because of fear of crime[\[4\]](#_ftn4). An emptier rail car or station might open the doors for perpetrators to feel “safer” to commit crimes.
Agencies need increased ridership to help lessen crime, but riders are not returning to public transportation for fear of increased crime. There is one way to start addressing this problem: Change the transit safety narrative using technology.
The reasons behind lower ridership are complex (new work-from-home models, economic turmoil), but there are some straightforward approaches to proactively help mitigate crime and increase ridership.
One is the use of in-vehicle camera systems paired with display monitors.
A camera system can capture evidence to help prosecution and seek resolution and accountability. But pairing a camera system with public display monitors––where passengers can see themselves being recorded––greatly reduces the threat of crime and increases the feeling of safety.
A study[\[5\]](#_ftn5) on environmental psychology conducted by the University of Groningen, Netherlands, in 2018 concluded that the presentation of a surveillance camera and its recording via a display influenced pro-social behavior.
The same methodology can be applied to transit. A public display system can deter an individual from doing something out of line, and it can also communicate relevant, general-safety-focused information to passengers. Help prevent crime and risk/injury! And make riders feel safer and more comfortable.
The future of transportation relies on finding new angles and adopting new solutions to problems. And public display technology can help us bridge the communication gap between agencies and passengers. Giving riders a better, safety-focused experience and giving agencies the means to provide it. A win-win scenario for everyone.

### [Inside the Cab: 5 Lessons One School District Learned From Their AI Bus Pilot](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/inside-the-cab-5-lessons-one-school-district-learned-from-their-ai-bus-pilot/)
**Published:** March 12, 2026
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Every morning in America, more than 25 million students ride to school on a fleet that has no room for error. For Richland School District Two in South Carolina, operating roughly 200 buses across eight complicated routing systems is far more than a scheduling exercise; it’s a daily act of responsibility.
In a year where [128 people lost their lives](https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/road-users/school-bus/) in school bus–related crashes nationwide, the district decided to look for additional safety insights from a new source. To get deeper visibility, they turned to Safe Fleet’s Duet™AI Driver Behavior Monitoring System––uncovering cultural dynamics, behavioral trends, and hidden issues that had previously gone undetected.
### 1. Positioning AI as a Coach, not a Cop
Drivers weren’t thrilled when inward-facing cameras arrived. Many assumed it was "Big Brother" in the windshield—one more reason to feel scrutinized in an already high-stress job.
However, the narrative shifted the moment the technology moved from "surveillance" to "protection." Richland used the system to exonerate drivers from false claims. In one instance, a "he-said, she-said" report regarding a driver’s conduct was immediately debunked by the footage, saving an innocent employee from unfair disciplinary action.
By positioning Duet AI as a coaching tool rather than a disciplinary one, the relationship moved from adversarial to collaborative. As the Activity Fleet Manager at Richland, puts it:
> “We’re not trying to get drivers in trouble. We’re trying to help them improve and prevent issues before they arise.”
### 2. AI Powers Real-Time Self-Correction
One of the most valuable discoveries of the pilot was how effective the Duet AI in-cab alerts influenced driver behavior without supervisor intervention. When the system recognized a risky behavior, it issued an immediate, audible warning to the driver.
The data showed a significant trend: most drivers self-corrected the moment they heard the alert.
This immediate feedback loop fundamentally transforms fleet culture. Instead of a supervisor reviewing footage and holding a coaching session days later, the coaching happens in the moment. Drivers adjust their own habits in real time, fostering a culture of accountability where safety is managed proactively in the cab. The technology actively improves behavior, often resolving issues before a manager steps in.
### 3. Dual Cameras Turn Data Into Context
Before Duet AI, many risky behaviors simply never surfaced because they hadn’t yet caused a crash. Using the power of the system’s high-speed edge processing, the district began seeing patterns of "micro-risks" that were previously invisible.
The system uses a dual-camera approach to provide total context:
- **The inward-facing camera** shows **WHAT** a driver is doing (phone use, drowsiness, or distraction).
- **The road-facing camera** shows **WHY** it’s happening (a sudden cut-off by another vehicle or a hidden stop sign).
This pairing turns raw data into meaningful coaching. Instead of guessing why a driver slammed on the brakes, managers can see the full story in seconds.
### 4. Automation is the Antidote to “Video Fatigue”
Managing 200 buses requires keeping track of who is driving what, when, and where — but historically, teams had to rely on fragmented logs and guesswork to piece that information together.
Facial recognition changed this overnight. Duet AI automatically identifies drivers, tags routes, and scores risky behavior in real time. Supervisors now receive prioritized, actionable insights. This level of automation provides immediate administrative relief, allowing managers to focus on proactive safety rather than hours of "dead" video footage.
### 5. Use Pilot Data to Build Your Business Case
Richland’s driver coaching journey started with a different system that was ultimately rejected because it was too expensive and a poor fit for their specific needs.
But that "failed" trial was an important step. It provided a glimpse into safety issues they couldn't unsee. It gave the district the justification they needed to find a more scalable, effective solution in Safe Fleet.
**The takeaway:** A pilot serves a higher purpose than simply testing hardware; it provides the justification required to make a permanent, high-stakes decision.
### Rethinking What “Safety” Means
Richland’s pilot shows where the industry is headed: away from reactive reviews and toward proactive prevention. When 128 lives are at stake each year, the question shifts from “*Should we adopt AI?*” to: “*If we can prevent a crash before it happens, how could we justify not doing it?*”

### [AI-Driven Solution Helps Ensure Student Safety in the School Bus Danger Zone](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/enhancing-student-safety-ai-driven-solutions-for-school-bus-danger-zone/)
**Published:** June 6, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Illegal school bus passings rack up an alarming 17 million stop-arm violations annually in the US, serving as a constant reminder of the potential dangers our children face. Each day, there are nearly 95,000 instances where a student is at risk of being hit by a vehicle.
Fortunately, proven technological advancements have brought new hope to the school transportation industry. These developments are helping to address the long-standing issue of the "Danger Zone" and are paving the way to a safer future for our children.
### The Illegal Passing Suite
The Safe Fleet Illegal Passing Suite is a comprehensive and integrated solution designed to enhance the safety of students during daily commutes, specifically targeting the issue of illegal passing. In just three steps, this suite helps you address illegal passing and take a holistic approach to student safety.
#### Step 1: Heighten visibility that the school bus is stopping or stopped.
The Safe Fleet Hi-Visibility Stop Arm and Driver Alert Device work together to inform drivers behind the bus about an upcoming stop. Placed on the back door, the Driver Alert LED panel flashes "Caution - Stopping" when the bus slows down and activates its 8-way lights. When the bus's red lights are on and the Stop Arm is deployed, the panel flashes "Stop Do Not Pass."
The Hi-Visibility Stop Arm gets the driver’s attention with a highly reflective decal and the word “STOP” brightly backlit with LEDs. The arm deploys and lets drivers know the bus is stopped, and they should stop too.
#### Step 2: Proactively warn students of imminent danger.
The Safe Fleet game-changing Predictive Stop Arm® (PSA) combines radar and predictive analytics to scan three lanes in each direction, covering a distance of 1,000 feet. By assessing the likelihood of a vehicle stopping in time, the PSA offers a spoken word alert: "STOP, GET BACK, " when risk is present. **This gives students 3-4 seconds to step away from potential danger.**
#### Step 3: Help enforce proper driver behavior.
Powered by AI technology, the Safe Fleet Stop Arm Camera utilizes HD video capture to record instances of illegal pass-bys. This advanced solution captures valuable evidence and facilitates law enforcement ticketing. By holding drivers accountable, this system reinforces safe driving behaviors and encourages drivers to think twice before illegally passing a stopped school bus.
### Using the Power of AI to Mitigate Illegal Passing
Artificial intelligence plays a vital part in supporting the Illegal Passing suite. AI uses data captured from the suite’s cameras and combines advanced algorithms and analytics to issue a ticket to the violator.
This is how it works:
1. The cameras on the bus capture the violation, the vehicle and its license plate.
2. Advanced, AI-based algorithms analyze the footage against local laws to determine if a violation has occurred.
3. If a violation has occurred, an evidence package is formed.
4. The package is sent to the authorities for ticket processing.
### A Real World Example
Students in the Flager school district in Flager County, Florida, are already reaping the benefits of this technology.
Flagler highlights the value of the Predictive Stop Arm (PSA) and Stop Arm Camera solutions, focusing on their ability to help raise student transportation awareness and prioritize school bus safety. Their system also allows them to report stop arm violations, aiding in identifying problematic areas for local law enforcement intervention.
> “We have a golden obligation to protect students and transport them to and from safely. And implementing these new technologies, new resources for the bus, it's only going to help us be better at making sure students have a valued experience.”
>
> \- Don Rowls, Director, Flager County School District
### An all-in-one, government-supported Illegal Passing Suite
By integrating proven technologies such as Stop Arms, driver alert devices, and the field-tested Predictive Stop Arm (PSA), we create a safety umbrella that saves lives and complies with legislation.
This powerful suite seamlessly integrates with existing fleet technology, capturing footage of stop-arm violations and providing a complete view of incidents as they occur. Let's deploy these life-saving measures on every bus, reducing risk and working towards zero student fatalities in the Danger Zone.
Together, we can prioritize the safety of our children.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: No system can prevent all incidents. Inattentive drivers, weather, erratic student behavior, and other factors can inhibit detection and overall system performance. Drivers must always keep proper lookout.*

### [4 Technologies that Can Help Support Transit Agencies in the Event of Liability Claims](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/4-technologies-that-can-help-support-transit-agencies-in-the-event-of-liability-claims/)
**Published:** March 16, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Liability claims are a transit agency’s worst nightmare. They can impact daily efficiency, and reputation— and they cost a lot of money.
Just last year, the New Jersey Transit agency reached a settlement for two million dollars after one of its buses struck a pedestrian[\[1\]](#_ftn1). You only need to do a quick Google search to find similar stories with exorbitant price tags.
Implementing solutions that help you foster a safer environment within your fleet’s operations is a great way of reducing risk, but whatever we do, unexpected events will still happen.
So how do you prepare and protect your agency from liability claims? Here are 4 technologies to consider:
### 360° Around Vehicle Monitoring
Blind spots account for most fleet accidents and they form a big chunk of the liability claims market. With good reason: they happen quite frequently.
The 360º Around Vehicle Monitoring System helps reduce blind spots by giving drivers a full, all-around live-view of the vehicle. Integrated with a built-in recording or video system, it captures verifiable video evidence for liability disputes.
With support for up to six 1080p HD cameras, operator assist features, graphical overlays of vehicle extrusions, and a customizable view by vehicle, this system gives your operator a bird’s eye view around the vehicle.
### Safety Cameras
Sometimes even the simplest of solutions give you GREAT results.
Cameras provide greater productivity by giving your operators and your agency an extra pair (or more!) of eyes on the road. And they provide clear, verifiable evidence of every inch of every minute of your operations.
Safe Fleet has a variety of safety cameras for all of your needs. HD, 4K, Fisheye, 180 degrees––all to get you maximum coverage on board or outside the bus. Solutions that, integrated with a video system, provide the needed evidence in case of collisions.
### Rear-View Mirror/Monitors
With a history that goes back to 1909[\[2\]](#_ftn2) , rear-view mirrors are now as ubiquitous in vehicles as bread and butter, and with good reason––they just work!
Nowadays, the concept of a rear-view mirror remains simple, but with some technological twists that allow improving the formula and provide better safety. Anti-glare coating and automatic dimming are some of these twists and, in the case of the Safe Fleet Dual View Assist™, embedded monitors have come into the mix.
The Safe Fleet Dual View Assist™ not only allows drivers to have a better view while reversing, but its embedded monitor can also even be used to display passengers during on and off-boarding. Increasing safety and reducing the risk of unwanted liabilities.
### Proximity Sensors
And what provides greater protection from liability claims? Preventing an accident from happening. Proximity sensors from Safe Fleet detect obstacles all around the vehicle, and they audibly alert the operator about them.
These are simple, durable, and versatile solutions that not only protect your vehicle and human lives but save you from even considering the aftermath of a liability claim.

### [AI in Public Transit](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/ai-in-public-transit/)
**Published:** May 25, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
### Smart-Cities / AI / Unified Security Systems
Smart cities are becoming “*a thing*” in today’s world. A BIG thing, actually, as numerous cities throughout the United States have already implemented AI-backed systems that, by integrating together with various institutions seamlessly, make city management better.
On a large scale, unified, AI-powered systems make cities better by creating efficient and automated resource management, enhanced safety and security, and improved sustainability leading to smart metropolises.
On a personal scale, smart cities are impacting and changing the way we live, work, and move around urban areas. Services are more efficient, transactions are easier to make, and processes are more flexible.
Public transit plays a crucial role in the smart cities narrative. An effective and sustainable public transit system creates a better urban environment by providing economic and social opportunities resulting in employment, market access, and other investments [\[1\]](#_ftn1). There can be no talk of a smart city without a smart public transit system.
But, what constitutes a smart public transit system? There are two key components that constitute a smart public transportation environment: AI and unified systems.
### AI and Its Role in Public Transit
Artificial intelligence is already helping transit agencies become more effective and provide a better experience to their riders.
Just this year, AI has been used to optimize traffic light signals in some cities in California [\[1\]](#_ftn1). This resulted in improved personal-vehicle travel times of 20% and improved firetruck response times by 69% compared to previous years.
In general terms, AI in public transit systems helps with:
- **Demand Prediction:** How do you feel when you see the doors of the bus closing because it's full, but you turn and an empty bus is making its way towards you? Pretty great, no? Well, AI algorithms predict ridership demand, weather patterns, and even public events to allocate alternatives whenever needed.
- **Route Optimization:** In a similar way, AI can analyze different patterns and factors to offer the best routes at any given time. Providing a constant level of service to your riders, even in unexpected events such as road blockages or maintenance.
- **Predictive Maintenance:** Speaking about maintenance, a mass transit system has got to be in top shape to move us around town safely and effectively. AI can predict whenever a bus or a train car requires maintenance, giving agencies enough time to fix something that might have become a bigger problem down the line.
And AI is now also helping to make public transit systems safer for riders. This year, SEPTA is implementing AI-powered gun-detection software for their buses, trains, subways, and other vehicles to provide better safety to its riders in Philadelphia [\[2\]](#_ftn2).
The demand for AI in public transit has transformed from a “nice-to-have” to a “must-have”.
### Unified Systems and Public Transport
“Teamwork makes the dream work.” And this is particularly true for systems in public transit.
Let’s take a rider on any given day. What systems do they interact with just to go from point A to B in their daily commute?

### [6 Challenges Fleet Managers Solve Using Wireless Downloading](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/6-challenges-fleet-managers-solve-using-wireless-downloading/)
**Published:** April 4, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
The more often you remove and reinstall media, the more you run the risk of damaging the media. Can you accept that you might find yourself without video backup when you need it most?
But not all fleets that use video surveillance systems choose wireless downloading as part of their video solution package. For the fleets that don’t, we find they typically experience 6 common and pervasive challenges. These challenges can often impede a fleet manager’s ability to access defendable video data — the whole reason they selected a video surveillance system in the first place .
Let’s take a look at the common challenges that are easily resolved with the use of **wireless downloading:**
### Challenge 1: Long Manual Retrieval Process
Consider the amount of time spent on retrieving footage for even just one video request submission.
The following steps take significant amounts of time (some more than others – such as sourcing a specific bus in a full bus yard):
- Sourcing the bus
- Accessing the vehicle in the yard
- Manually pulling the media
- Bringing the media back to the office
- Downloading the data
- And finally, returning the media back to its original location
Now multiply the time these steps take by the number of requests a fleet manager might receive each day, each week, each month. Can you afford to spend this amount of time on manual processes?
### Challenge 2: Lost or Misplaced Media
As organized as a team may be, each fleet runs the risk of misplacing their hard drives and potentially forgetting to reinstall them on the bus. This risk increases with the size of the fleet. Is the risk worth it?
### Challenge 3: Increased Risk of Damaging Media
The more often you remove and reinstall a hard drive, the more you run the risk of damaging that hard drive. Can you accept that you might find yourself without video backup when you need it most?
### Challenge 4: Facing the Elements
Are your media files exposed to rain, snow or even sand as you transport them across the bus yard? These elements could negatively impact your media. Does this concern you?
### Challenge 5: Re-installment Errors
Media can be re-installed incorrectly and then you run the risk of having no defendable data when you need it most. Do you know how your system is performing at all times? Can you correct issues before they impact your ability to access video?
### Challenge 6 : Off-line Systems
Systems can go off-line from time to time. Operators can remain uninformed of the status of their video surveillance solutions without conducting a physical inspection of their cameras and hard drives. Could you save a lot of time and headaches if you knew the status of your system at all times?
## Wireless Downloading can help a fleet manager overcome these challenges.
In all of the instances noted above, a fleet manager can find themselves with the unhappy task of reporting an incident has been improperly recorded — with no evidence to support or argue a claim, a query or an investigation.
[Wireless Downloading](https://www.safefleet.net/products/safe-fleet-wireless-connectivity/wireless-video-downloading/) can eliminate the need for manual video retrievals, reduce the risk of damaged media, installment errors, and off-line systems, while freeing your staff to work on other duties and providing you with more peace-of-mind.

### [5 Ways to Reduce the Risks Associated with Illegal Passing](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-ways-to-reduce-the-risks-associated-with-illegal-passing/)
**Published:** March 23, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Illegal passing is a reckless act that puts innocent lives at risk. Children trying to get to or from school are vulnerable to distracted drivers who break the law by not stopping for a school bus.
Just a couple of weeks ago, in North Carolina, two children narrowly escaped tragedy when an SUV tried to illegally pass a school bus[\[1\]](#_ftn1). The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS) reported that 51,593 vehicles illegally passed a school bus during the 2021-2022 school year[\[2\]](#_ftn2).
This risk is a common and constant occurrence.
The consequences of illegal passing can be devastating: fines, license suspension or revocation, and – most critical of all – even tragedy.
Ensuring our roads are safe for our children is the responsibility of institutions and individuals alike. We need to work together to make sure drivers show the care and consideration students deserve to reduce risk.
By doing so we can prevent senseless accidents and keep our communities safe.
What can be done to prevent illegal passing tragedy?
### 1. Raise awareness.
Spreading the word saves lives! Raising awareness about the life-threatening risks of illegal passing of school buses is a great way of educating our community. We can educate drivers on the importance of stopping for school buses by:
- Launching impactful public awareness campaigns.
- Using the power of social media.
- Engaging with our local communities and their programs.
We all have a role to play. By educating drivers and advocating safer roads, you can make a real difference and prevent unnecessary tragedy.
### 2. Keep enforcing the law & increase penalties.
Keep enforcing the law! We must continue to take swift and decisive action against drivers who engage in illegal passing of school buses. And let’s back those efforts with greater penalties for violators.
In Minnesota, drivers that illegally pass a stopped school bus face a $500 violation ticket and can face criminal charges if their act is deemed to involve a child/children.
Holding drivers accountable with heavy penalties not only makes our roads safer for everyone but also reinforces this powerful message: The safety of our children is non-negotiable.
### 3. Use technology.
Leverage the power of technology to protect student lives! Many school districts are already using innovative technologies to reduce the impact of the illegal passing epidemic in the US.
Our own [Illegal Passing Suite](https://www.safefleet.net/school-bus-perimeter-safety/), comprised of a high-visibility stop arm, Driver Alert Device, Predictive Stop Arm®, and a Stop Arm Camera, provides a comprehensive and all-encompassing solution to heighten visibility that the bus is stopped. The suite also proactively warns students of imminent danger and helps enforce best driver behavior.
By using cutting-edge technology, we can ensure drivers that put students at risk are held accountable and – most importantly – help to greatly reduce the risk to our children.
### 4. Improve infrastructure.
Keep investing in the safety of our children! In some areas, road infrastructure can be improved to increase safety for school buses and students. This can involve adding safety features such as:
- Crossing guards.
- Traffic signals
- Speed bumps in school zones.
It’s proven that these essential upgrades help prevent accidents, reduce risk and make our roads safer for everyone. Demanding the necessary resources to make these improvements a reality is a must.
### 5. Encourage safe behavior.
Promote a culture of safety for our children.
Teach and encourage students to practice safe behavior on their journey to or from school:
- Be alert of their surroundings when getting on and off the bus.
- Wait for the bus to completely stop before approaching.
- Cross the street in front of the bus at a safe distance.
Educating children about the perils of illegal passing and the ways they can avoid danger empowers them, and – it can save their lives.
…
Reducing the risks of illegal passing is a community effort that must be tackled on many fronts.

### [5 Ways Digital Evidence Helps Vulnerable Populations](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-ways-digital-evidence-helps-vulnerable-populations/)
**Published:** February 27, 2024
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
In recent years, the role of digital evidence in law enforcement has grown significantly. This is especially true when addressing crimes against vulnerable populations, who face a distinct set of challenges and barriers that require thoughtful consideration. Policing these groups demands a specialized approach, as individuals within them often grapple with obstacles like fear, trauma, or social stigma, making their pursuit of justice and protection more complex.
Digital evidence becomes a crucial tool, providing a sensitive means to understand, investigate, and ultimately navigate the intricacies of crimes against vulnerable populations.
### Who is considered a “Vulnerable Population”?
The term “Vulnerable Population” refers to individuals at a higher risk of experiencing adverse social, economic, or health outcomes due to various factors that make them more susceptible to harm or disadvantage.
It is crucial for law enforcement agencies and other service providers to recognize the specific vulnerabilities faced by these populations and implement solutions that help to address their unique needs, protect their rights, and ensure their safety and well-being.
### Digital Evidence
Digital evidence refers to any information or data captured, generated, stored, transmitted, and processed via electronic devices that can serve as evidence during legal proceedings.
Examples include:
- Email, text messages, chat transcripts.
- Social Media Content.
- Digital video and images.
- Digital Audio Recordings.
- GPS / Location Data.
This evidence offers a powerful tool to aid law enforcement agencies in understanding, investigating, and ultimately addressing crimes committed against vulnerable populations.
### How Digital Evidence Helps Vulnerable Population
While any type of evidence clearly helps anyone, including individuals considered part of vulnerable populations, digital evidence offers unique advantages such as:
1. **Amplifying the Voices of the Vulnerable:**Vulnerable populations, such as victims of domestic violence, human trafficking, or hate crimes, often face difficulties in expressing their experiences due to fear, trauma, or other factors. Digital evidence, including text messages, social media posts, or emails, can provide crucial insights into the circumstances surrounding these incidents. Such evidence can act as a voice for the voiceless, helping law enforcement professionals better understand the context and support victims in their quest for justice.
2. **Strengthening Investigations and Prosecutions:**Digital evidence has revolutionized the investigative process, providing law enforcement agencies with a mountain of information. By examining digital footprints, authorities can reconstruct timelines, identify potential suspects, establish motives, and link evidence to criminal activities. In cases involving vulnerable populations, digital evidence can often be the key to successfully prosecuting perpetrators who may exploit their victims' vulnerabilities.
3. **Breaking the Cycle of Abuse:**One of the primary goals of policing vulnerable populations is to break the cycle of abuse and prevent further victimization. Digital evidence plays a crucial role in this endeavor by providing early detection and intervention opportunities. For example, patterns of abusive behavior can be identified through social media interactions or digital communications. By recognizing these red flags, law enforcement can take proactive measures to protect potential victims and prevent further harm.
4. **Supporting Collaboration and Multi-Agency Efforts:** The complexities surrounding crimes against vulnerable populations often require collaboration among various agencies, such as law enforcement, social services, and healthcare professionals. Digital evidence serves as a common thread that connects these entities, facilitating information sharing and enhancing cooperation. By harnessing the power of digital evidence, agencies can develop comprehensive strategies to address the specific needs of vulnerable populations, resulting in more effective and coordinated responses.
5. **Ensuring Accountability and Dismantling Prejudice:** A lot of times, crimes against vulnerable populations stem from prejudice, discrimination, or systemic biases. Digital evidence can help unmask such prejudices and biases, helping to identify and apprehend offenders. Additionally, digital evidence can be used as strong proof in court, making sure that those who commit crimes against vulnerable populations are held accountable, and preventing the belief that they can get away with it unpunished.
Digital evidence is crucial for police when helping vulnerable people. It helps them listen to the vulnerable, investigate better, stop abuse, work together, and make sure the guilty are held accountable.
As technology gets better, the need to use digital evidence to help and protect those who need it the most becomes a MUST.

### [5 Things Every Rail Car Needs to Create a Safer Environment](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-things-every-rail-car-needs-to-create-a-safer-environment/)
**Published:** January 16, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
The moment we get to the train station and tap/swipe our cards at the turnstile, we enter a controlled environment.
This is the result of different elements that make stations and trains as safe as possible for millions of daily passengers. HD camera systems, carefully designed pathways, display screens, and an army of speakers are found in most cars and stations. Japanese train stations even have ultrasonic sound emitters to deter teenagers from loitering and vandalism! [\[1\]](#_ftn1)
And yet, crime is rising in most major cities across the US [\[2\]](#_ftn2) and Canada [\[3\]](#_ftn3). Non-violent crimes like robberies and grand larceny are up to 110% from previous years and violent crimes are increasing as well [\[4\]](#_ftn4).
Careful planning and well-implemented safety tech can help passengers have a safer and more comfortable experience.
If you are looking to increase railcar safety, consider adding these FIVE elements.
### 1. [Camera Systems](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/transit-bus-cameras/)
An effective camera system inside a train car helps in three major ways: it records evidence, deters crime, and reduces blind spots.
A psychology study from the University of Enschede [\[5\]](#_ftn6) in the Netherlands showed that the presence of a camera deterred students from cheating. This also applies to any other type of criminal activity. No one wants to get caught doing something they shouldn’t!
And if criminal activity STILL happens, a camera system can produce video evidence to help solve the crime, shut down a false claim, and exonerate an innocent person (including the vehicle operator).
In the operator/conductor cabin, a live-view camera system helps eliminate blind spots all around the car to help prevent injury to passengers or a collision with another vehicle or object. If an incident occurs, recorded evidence provides greater claim resolution.
Camera systems are highly recommended and can be viewed as necessary for the safe operation of any rail car.
### 2. [Display Monitors](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/public-display-monitors/)
Display monitors are part of the riding experience future. They provide real-time updates and agency-passenger communication, enable digital advertising, and increase passenger awareness and safety.
You can display anything: route name, the next station, rail schedules, delays, updates, safety tips, etc. And you know we love our screens––eyes will be watching.
Remember the psychology study? Well, that same study discovered that when students were presented with a camera AND a video display showing them being recorded, cheating behavior reduced even further.
You can even sell ad space on them. Who doesn’t love a little more income?
### 3. [LED Lights](https://www.safefleet.net/products/passenger-pedestrian-safety/bus-interior-lighting-ducting/)
Ever since our cave-dwelling days, light has been a source of physical warmth and a feeling of safety. And like our cavemen ancestors, lighting still makes us feel good today.
Lighting is important. In 2018, WMTA in Washington DC upgraded some of their train stations with LED lights and it resulted in a decrease in crime at those specific stations.
Also, a study about Stockholm’s subway system [\[6\]](#_ftn7) showed that good lighting can result in passengers feeling welcomed, help identify points of danger, and create visual pathways for improved ride efficiency.
Come on everyone, let us turn on those lights!
### 4. Signage & Landmarks
Signs and landmarks are essential in trains and stations. They convey locations, schedules, points of interest, and basically how and when to move. Tokyo’s train stations even have floor decals indicating which side of the stairs to take, or where to queue up to board the trains.
Rail car signage helps make passenger travel as smooth and safe as possible. From the “push to open” to the red-colored emergency window lever, these little elements work together to create a safer environment inside the car.
New technologies like Infotainment displays are becoming a vital part of the commuting experience. Displays help you communicate with passengers to notify them of disruptions, emergencies, or general safety practices; show live-video recording to help curb bad behavior and let everyone know that safety measures are present; and even provide entertainment.
Signage is going interactive!
### 5. Passengers
This element is mostly out of our control. But a higher level of ridership means a lower risk of crime. And higher ridership levels rely on onboard safety.
Have you heard of the famous “Elevator experiment” [\[7\]](#_ftn8), where someone rides an elevator filled with people facing away from the doors and then, awkwardly, follows suit? Well, this same concept applies to crime. When there are more eyes watching, criminals think twice about committing a crime.
Apart from the last point, these elements rely on technology to make travel as safe as possible. Today, people expect nothing less from their transit experience.
Safe Fleet creates technologies that help foster a safe environment on public transportation. For example, our [Fleet Video Systems](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/) provide clear evidence of everything that occurs on board a vehicle. This evidence helps agencies respond to events with better insight, make better decisions and defend against false claims. 360º view camera systems reduce operator blind spots making for a safer journey. [Infotainment/Public Display Systems](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/transit-infotainment-public-display-systems/) improve safety and the traveling experience by showing passengers they are on camera and helping to bridge the communication barrier between the agency and the passenger.
These solutions add value to general railcar operation by increasing passenger and operator safety, reducing agency liability, and enhancing the passenger experience. They can also directly impact agency ridership.
There are a MILLION things that could and will happen every day on trains and at stations. Let’s work together to reduce the risk of these millions of things. Let’s create a safer rail environment

### [5 Essential Tips for Reviewing Your Video Surveillance Footage](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-essential-tips-for-reviewing-your-video-surveillance-footage/)
**Published:** December 3, 2024
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Having access to the right video footage when you need it can be a game-changer. It can exonerate an innocent driver from a false claim, help resolve on-board discipline or bullying issues, and provide clarity on incidents. But to make this happen, your video system needs to work smoothly, with footage that's easy to find and always available.
Here are five tips to help you retrieve video faster and investigate incidents more efficiently:
1. **Ask Drivers to Mark Video**Save valuable time by installing a “mark video” button in the driver console. When an incident happens on the bus, drivers simply push the button to flag the video for easy, focused review—no more sifting through hours of footage.
2. **Use Vehicle Telemetry**Equip your vehicles with a GPS receiver to track speed, location, and direction. Your video software should integrate this telemetry data with key vehicle signals—like stop-arm deployment, turn signals, and brakes—to give you more context during your review.
3. **Upload Video Automatically**Set up automatic video uploads so marked events transfer wirelessly as soon as the bus returns to Wi-Fi coverage. This ensures that you can review footage promptly, without having to manually access each vehicle.
4. **Monitor Video System Health**Use a web-based dashboard to proactively monitor your video system’s health. This way, you’ll catch and address maintenance needs immediately, helping ensure your cameras are always rolling when you need them.
5. **Choose the Right Video Management Platform**Get the most out of your footage and data by investing in a reliable video management system that puts all your fleet information at your fingertips. The right platform, like Safe Fleet Nexus, can simplify decision-making and speed up your response time.
### Streamlining Video Management for Your Fleet
Effective video management is about more than just best practices—it’s about leveraging the right tools to save time and simplify your workflows.
Modern cloud-based video management systems, like Safe Fleet Nexus Video Management, can eliminate manual processes and provide secure, centralized access to video footage. Features like automatic uploads, remote access, and robust security protocols ensure that footage is not only accessible when you need it but also protected against unauthorized access.
When choosing a system, consider:
- Ease of Use: Does it simplify evidence handling, streamline video uploads, and reduce the burden on your team?
- Automation: Can it retrieve and upload footage automatically through the cloud, saving time and effort?
- Security Standards: Does it meet stringent certifications to protect sensitive data?
- Accessibility: Can you view and manage video from anywhere, on any device?

Ensuring the safety and security of operators, passengers, and pedestrians in public transit is crucial. However, transit operators face numerous challenges that can compromise safety and operational efficiency. Traditional side mirrors, while standard in the industry, have significant limitations that can be addressed to enhance overall safety.
### The Challenges of Traditional Mirrors
#### Limited Visibility and Field of View:
Traditional mirrors are often obstructed by road grime, water droplets, and restricted angles. They cannot always provide a wide enough view, hindering the driver’s visibility and increasing accident risk. This limited visibility is particularly problematic in dense urban environments, where transit drivers must constantly monitor their surroundings for pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and other obstacles.
> "One of the big problems with traditional mirrors is that they don’t always give you a full picture of what’s around you. You have to move around in your seat, constantly adjusting, and even then, you might still miss something important." – Harry Repass
#### Weather Conditions:
Adverse weather such as rain, snow, and low light significantly impair visibility with traditional mirrors, making it difficult for drivers to navigate safely. Poor weather conditions can exacerbate the limitations of traditional mirrors, increasing the risk of accidents. For instance, rain can obscure the mirror's surface, while low light conditions can make it hard to see clearly, especially during early mornings and late evenings.
> "Weather is one of the biggest challenges for transit operators. If it’s raining, that mirror is going to get covered in water. If it’s cold, it’s going to fog up. It makes it harder to see, and that’s dangerous for everyone on the road." – Harry Respass
#### Blind Spots:
Traditional mirrors often have limited fields of view, resulting in blind spots that can be dangerous, especially in complex traffic situations and tight spaces. Blind spots are a well-known hazard in transit operations, contributing to many preventable accidents. Drivers must constantly adjust their mirrors and turn their heads to compensate, which can be both tiring and ineffective.
> "Blind spots are a huge issue. There are areas you just can’t see, no matter how much you adjust your mirrors. That’s a safety risk, especially in a crowded city environment where things change in an instant." – Harry Respass
### Industry Solutions: Video Mirror Systems
Technological advancements, like video mirror systems, are addressing these safety challenges. These systems use cameras and LCD monitors to provide a clearer and wider view of a vehicle's surroundings. By complementing traditional side mirrors with high-definition cameras and screens, video mirror systems improve visibility, reduce blind spots, and enhance overall safety.
### 5 Ways Video Mirror Systems Enhance Safety
1. **Enhanced Visibility**Video mirror systems significantly enhance visibility and reduce blind spots by providing an expansive view of the vehicle's surroundings, enabling drivers to detect hazards earlier and respond more effectively. > "With video mirror systems, those blind spots are almost gone. The screens give you a much clearer picture of what’s around you, and that makes a big difference in how you react." – Harry Respass
2. **Superior Performance in Adverse Weather**Video mirror systems perform exceptionally well in adverse conditions, maintaining safety standards regardless of weather. They ensure drivers have a clear view even in rain, snow, or low light conditions. > "We’ve tested these systems in some pretty rough conditions, and the clarity they provide—especially compared to traditional mirrors—is night and day." – Harry Respass
3. **Incident Reduction**By improving visibility, video mirror systems help reduce costly incidents involving pedestrians or obstacles. This leads to indirect cost savings by reducing the frequency and severity of accidents. > "Better visibility means fewer incidents. When you can see clearly, you can react faster, and that prevents accidents." – Harry Respass
4. **High-Definition Video Recording**When connected to recorders, video mirror systems offer high-definition video evidence capture. This enhances incident analysis, reporting, and driver training, offering valuable documentation for post-incident reviews and legal protection.
5. **Compliance and Future-Proofing**The adoption of video mirror systems is well underway. In Europe, the General Safety Regulation (GSR) is setting new vehicle standards to reduce serious and fatal injuries caused by traffic accidents by half in 2030. These regulations are pushing the industry towards adopting advanced safety technologies, ensuring that vehicles are equipped to handle the challenges of modern transit environments. In the US, while most states still mandate traditional mirrors, some are allowing companies with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) exemptions to implement these systems. As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve, video mirror systems are likely to become more widely accepted and integrated into transit operations.

### [3 Ways to Boost Passenger Experience and Safety with One Simple System](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/3-ways-to-boost-passenger-experience-and-safety-with-one-simple-system/)
**Published:** October 17, 2022
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
*An Infotainment/Public Display system improves the passenger ride experience.*
Improving the passenger experience is as important as providing a high-level of on-and off-vehicle safety. Both play critical roles in increasing transit ridership.
### Safety and ridership go hand in-hand
The need for enhanced transit safety grows as city size and ridership increase, the costs of personal car ownership become more prohibitive, and city planners focus on keeping single occupant vehicles out of congested areas.
Passenger safety systems fall under two categories here. There are the systems that operate out of sight and aid an agency in improving operations and mitigating risk. And, there are the systems that operate in plain view of the public and do double duty to improve passenger safety and enhance the passenger experience.
There is also a need for transit agencies to adopt the digital transformation taking place in the transportation space. Ordering car shares with an app. Making efficient commuting connections with a swipe of your finger. Knowing in real-time where congestion is forming and how to avoid it. In today’s digital age, transit passengers seek the same level of refined, user-driven content on-board transit buses:
- Enhancing their experience and providing additional value during their trip.
- Helping them stay abreast of current information.
- Maximizing their time and making correct/best connections.
An easy-to-implement solution that drives value to each of the points above is an [Infotainment/Public Display system](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/transit-infotainment-public-display-systems/).
An Infotainment/Public Display system consists of a display monitor, installed in one or more locations on the bus, and a media player, typically located alongside the bus video surveillance equipment. Monitors are available in a number of sizes and functionality options, including split screen for multiple inputs. The media player is portable and compact and displays video or images based on pre-defined campaigns, priorities, or location-based data. Content can be swapped out at a moment’s notice.
One system can:
### 1. Increase Passenger Awareness and Safety
Providing a live feed from all or some on-board cameras onto a public display monitor reduces instances of assault. If a person sees themselves on the monitor, they are less likely to commit a crime. On-board monitors also help passengers feel safer knowing they and their fellow passengers are being recorded.
### 2. Provide Your Passengers with Real-Time Updates
Transit agencies can use on-board systems to convey real-time status updates and public service announcements. Amber alerts, traffic congestion, accident details, local event, and emergency coverage help make passenger commutes more efficient and relevant. The system serves as a connection point between passengers, the transit agency and local surroundings.
### 3. Enable Digital Advertising
Connect your passengers to information that relates to where they are at the moment. Are they at a stop that features a taco shop? Is it lunchtime? And is it Taco Tuesday – half price tacos? Onboard advertising is remotely managed, including the updating of ad-related media files. Location-based advertising can also help an agency form mutually beneficial relationships with local business and increase revenue for the local economy.
### Health and safety threats
Transit agencies need a way to communicate information to best protect their employees and passengers. Communication methods must enable quick and easy pivots as needs dictate.
### The long-term value of an Infotainment System
The ability of any transit agency to communicate effectively with their passengers is directly related to its ridership health. Good communication builds trust with your customers and engages them in the mission of your business.
Increase passenger safety, the overall ride experience and grow your ridership. Contact a Safe Fleet safety expert to learn more [safefleet.net/contact-us](https://safefleet.net/contact-us-pt/).

### [3 Free Tools (And One Low-Cost One) Small School Districts Should Consider to Manage Bus Fleets](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/3-free-tools-and-one-low-cost-one-small-school-districts-should-consider-to-manage-bus-fleets/)
**Published:** February 22, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
We love talking with transportation staff at small school districts. Sometimes our calls with Transportation Directors get interrupted because of the many hats these Directors wear. A recent example: the Transportation Director had to end a call to start a troublesome lawnmower. At another district, we discussed routing plans that were represented on a lovely, big map on the wall with pins and strings.
These interesting scenarios, however, illustrate that small school district staff have to make do with small budgets, often outdated or hand-me-down technology.
At the same time, they are facing the same new fleet management pressures and expectations that bigger districts face.
### New Pressures for Safety, Savings, and Service
On top of the usual safety concerns like improving emergency response times, getting spare buses to the scene of broken-down ones, and determining the location of a disabled bus, school districts are now feeling the pressure to also know who is on the bus in real-time.
This new pressure is driven not only by safety considerations, but by parents who are asking for better service and communication. Parents are also putting pressure on districts to improve the accuracy and communication of bus arrival and departure times. Finally, from a savings perspective, school districts now want to reduce idling times not only to save on fuel, but to avoid expensive idling fines that many States are now handing out.
### Most Bus Fleet Management Tools are not Designed for Small Districts
To alleviate some of these new pressures, some small school districts are trying out the same tools that colleagues in bigger districts are using, but usually they find out that these tools are not the right fit. First of all, these products are often beyond the budgets for districts with small fleets. Second, they are not set-and-forget tools; they tend to be very powerful, complex and usually require dedicated resources to get value out of them. As a result, small districts often end up abandoning them as the staff just does not have the time to wear another hat. And finally, the vendors themselves have not shown a lot of interest in selling to and supporting small districts, and can’t offer economies of scale in their proposal pricing.
Are there some good alternatives between these powerful but expensive systems, and out of date pen and paper solutions? Yes!
### 3 Free Software Tools that Small Districts Should Consider…
[**Google Maps**](https://support.google.com/maps/answer/144339?co=GENIE.Platform%25): Use this free and popular tool to locate your bus garage/depot, student addresses and school address location points. With this information Google will create a route with turn-by-turn directions that can be easily shared with your drivers and staff, and be easily accessible on computers, tablets, and phones. GoogleMaps will even suggest the quickest route given traffic loads and time of day. This tool will not, however, optimize the order of your pick-ups and drop-offs; that’s something you will need to do yourself by dragging and dropping the way-points in the destinations list. This makes Google Maps a good free tool for routes with a small number of stops, but it starts to get tedious when planning a route with many destinations.
**[MapQuest Route Planner](https://www.mapquest.com/routeplanner)** has most of the same capabilities that Google Maps has, and additionally it can re-order the stops on your route to optimize time or distance. MapQuest Route Planner also has native Facebook-sharing capabilities for school districts that use Facebook to communicate with parents. The tool is not as intuitive or easy to use as Google Maps, but the added functionality may be worth it.
[**Google Drive Applications**](https://www.google.com/docs/about/) can be used to share spread-sheets, text documents, and forms. Transportation Request Forms can be shared with parents that your district will receive instantly, and that will be automatically added to a Google Sheet (Google’s equivalent to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet). These sheets can be used to assign students to buses and stops, and shared with administration without the need for email or multiple Excel revisions; everyone will be viewing and editing the same document.
### … and One Inexpensive Tool that Small Districts Could Consider Too
We have recently launched a number of fleet management solutions designed specifically for small school districts. Safe Fleet Path is affordable and easy to use, it does not require you to install any software, and it usually takes less than a week to implement.

### [How to Keep Kids Safe From Illegal School Bus Passing Accidents](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-to-keep-kids-safe-from-illegal-school-bus-passing-accidents/)
**Published:** November 28, 2019
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
## Roads are becoming busier and distractions more complex, causing students to be more at risk than ever before.
### A 2019 NASDPTS survey identified **95,000 illegal passes** across 39 states in a single day; that's over 17 million near misses in one school year.
It’s not surprising that 57% of the school bus transportation professionals we polled in our recent webinar: [How to Keep Kids Safe from Illegal School Bus Passing Accidents](https://www.safefleet.net/illegal-passing-webinar/), consider illegal passing to be a serious problem. However, according to our second poll, only 47% said public awareness campaigns are methods they use to keep kids safe.
Watch the webinar, starting at the 0:10:30 mark, for tips from both Derrick Agate, the former Supervisor of Transportation at Hopkins Public Schools on developing relationships with local media. Derrick shares suggestions on how to develop effective public awareness campaigns that will make the motorists in your district more aware of stopped school buses.
Other interesting takeaways from the webinar include:
### Partnering with law enforcement results in greater awareness of school bus stop rules among motorists (0:15:55).
### Personally checking in on a school bus route can reveal sources of problems that bus drivers may not report (0:21:47).
### The [Predictive Stop Arm®](https://www.safefleet.net/products/passenger-pedestrian-safety/predictive-stop-arm/) (PSA) works to warn kids of impending illegal passes, even in snowy or low-light conditions (0:35:55).
### Stop-arm cameras can deter illegal passing with fines and citations, but the ticketing process is not easy and can cause lost time for your drivers (0:31:40).
Also, be sure to check out this [NCSL map](https://www.ncsl.org/transportation/school-bus-safety) and state-by-state [listing of stop-arm camera laws](https://www.ncsl.org/transportation/state-school-bus-stop-arm-camera-laws) to see if you can use them in your state.

### [Turn the Danger Zone into a Safety Zone – See New Safe Fleet Solutions at NAPT](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/turn-the-danger-zone-into-a-safety-zone-see-new-safe-fleet-solutions-at-napt/)
**Published:** October 17, 2018
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Visit us in booth 629 to learn how we can help you change the danger zone into a safety zone.
We’re excited about this year’s NAPT Annual Conference and Tradeshow and looking forward to continuing conversations about Danger Zone Safety.
NAPT Executive Director, Mike Martin’s recent email to NAPT members challenged the school transportation community to take a different approach to danger zone safety. He stated:
> “…we have policies, procedures and training in place, but we need to rethink all of it because until we have zero school transportation related fatalities (more on that next month), we can do better.”
He continued by saying we must all come to grips with the reality that the problem of illegal passing is, in many ways, beyond our control.
> “We will never be able to completely control what other drivers do behind the wheel.”
And he boldly, concluded that we, as an industry, might ultimately be part of the problem, indicating that we must also be open to changing our approach to problem solving. He asserted that we must shift the paradigm, allowing creativity to fuel innovative ways to solve a very real, very big challenge.
A subsequent news story highlighted his point. Two students in Winfield Township, Michigan were seriously injured while crossing the street to get to their school bus. Both students were struck by the passing motorist. The older of the two, suffered a ruptured spleen and knee injury. The younger student received a concussion.
Further support for a new approach to perimeter safety came from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) who recommended two new technologies to combat the problem: pedestrian collision avoidance systems and improved, road-tested vehicle headlights.
The pedestrian collision avoidance systems would alert school bus drivers that people have been detected in the danger zone (not just objects, but people). The improved headlights would provide motorists with a longer field of vision to see students crossing the street in dusky or dark lighting conditions.
These messages are a timely reminder that one student injury or death is one too many. We all have to do more to improve student safety. Solving this challenge will take creative thinking, ingenuity and the utilization of new and innovative technology.
We’d like to invite you to our booth at this year’s NAPT Annual Conference and Tradeshow to continue the conversation that Mike Martin sparked in his email. We have been re-thinking the problem with new solutions to improve student safety. We’ve applied creative thinking, artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics and active notifications to help bridge the gap our industry has been troubled with.
Together, let’s change the Danger Zone into a Safety Zone.

### [Behind the Badge: Chapter 1 – A Routine Patrol Turns Critical](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/behind-the-badge-chapter-1-a-routine-patrol-turns-critical/)
**Published:** October 3, 2025
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
*This is the first in a three-part series exploring how law enforcement technology helps protect truth, reinforce trust, and support those who serve and their communities––from the streets to the courtroom.*
\---
They call it a “routine patrol”, but the reality behind the badge is anything but simple.
Through the voices of a former investigator shaped by years in child exploitation cases, a retired officer with decades of field experience, and a husband whose wifte still serves on the front lines, we explore the unseen toll of the job on officers and their families and how seemingly innocuous interactions can have repercussions across a community. Their insights reveal how modern technology supports officers and communities when clarity, composure, and accountability matter most.
What follows is a story of tension, resilience, and the systems built to protect those who protect others.
—
The streetlights cast long shadows across a downtown city, while a patrol car moves steadily through the quiet night. On the surface, this evening looks uneventful. But ask any officer, and they’ll tell you a night can change in the blink of an eye.
> “Anything can happen in a split second,” recalls a former investigator who now works at Safe Fleet. “You could be sitting at a stoplight one minute and in the middle of a felony stop the next.”
This constant uncertainty defines modern policing. For officers, the challenge isn’t just what they see in front of them, but the mental weight of knowing that the routine can turn dangerous without warning. A former officer puts it plainly:
> “When you’re on the job, there’s no such thing as a routine day. You’re always on guard, because the next call or the next stop could spiral fast.”
Today, police departments face a shrinking pool of recruits. Agencies that once saw hundreds of qualified applicants now struggle to attract even a handful of them. With fewer officers entering the profession—and many leaving early due to burnout, stress, disillusionment—those who remain are stretched increasingly thin.
Longer shifts, fewer partners, and mounting external pressure have become the norm, adding to the mental and emotional toll already carried on the job.
In the face of mounting challenges, technology has become an essential support system. It doesn’t replace officers’ judgment or training, but it does give them tools that make patrols safer, smarter, and more efficient.
### ALPR: A Constant Set of Eyes
The patrol car hums quietly as it moves through the night, but its single occupant has the force-multiplying benefit of a second set of eyes that are always on. Cameras mounted on the patrol car sweep across passing and parked vehicles, silently capturing license plates with precision. The [in-car video system equipped with Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR)](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-in-car-video-system/) runs continuously, scanning plates in real time and flagging vehicles or interest without delay.
- Each scan is instantly compared to national and local hot lists.
- When a match occurs, the system alerts the officer with an on-screen image of the vehicle, a close-up photo of the plate, and the reason for the hit or match.
- The officer doesn’t have to take any extra steps or divert their attention from the road unless they determine the car/driver in question should be further investigated.
One former officer remembers the early days of ALPR in his department:
> “It was like adding another officer in the car, but one that never got tired, or looked away. You’re still doing your job, but you’ve got something working alongside you that never stops.”
One patrol car equipped with ALPR can cover ground that once required multiple units. With this technology, an officer can patrol more effectively, scan more vehicles, and respond with greater precision than ever before. The system enhances situational awareness and reinforces safety—providing a steady, watchful presence that never blinks and never hesitates.
### Beyond the Stop: Data in Motion
An alert flashes across the screen–one plate, one match. When the ALPR identifies a vehicle of interest, the information doesn’t stay locked in the patrol car. As the officer prepares to investigate, the vehicle and plate data are already in motion, transmitted seamlessly to the back-end [Digital Evidence Management Platform](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/digital-evidence-management/) .
- Investigators can analyze the vehicle’s travel history and identify patterns.
- Real-time crime centers can provide intelligence back to the officer while the investigation unfolds.
- Evidence is automatically stored, organized, and linked to ongoing cases.
A former officer points out how significant this integration is compared to older systems:
> “We used to juggle CDs, DVDs, even VHS tapes—trying to get evidence into the right hands. Now it’s immediate. Data is secure, organized, and available where it needs to be.”
While the officer stays focused on the scene, the investigative engine is already turning—quietly, efficiently, and without delay. The stop may be unfolding in real time, but the case is already taking shape behind the scenes.
### Safety Beyond the Badge How Cameras Play a Vital Role
The patrol car may carry one officer, but the weight of the shift is shared by many. Families wait at home, hoping for a quiet night. Communities rely on trust, built one interaction at a time. And every moment in the field carries the potential to create ripples far beyond the scene.
A police officer’s husband shares what that means for him personally:
> “When she’s on shift, I know she’s being looked out for thanks to the technology she carries. If something goes wrong and she can’t call for help herself, the system can alert the back office automatically. It keeps her linked to her team, even when things get unpredictable. That’s peace of mind. It’s accountability, but it’s also protection”
A former police officer emphasizes the same point from their perspective:
> “The cameras and the data aren’t just about catching people who’ve done something wrong . They’ve cleared countless officers of false complaints. Having that objective record saves careers and restores trust.”
From the officer’s perspective, that same record offers relief. Not just from false accusations, but from the burden of having to defend every decision without support. The camera doesn’t blink. The data doesn’t forget. And when questions arise, the evidence stands ready.
These systems help protect not just the badge, but the person wearing it—and the people who care about them. In a world that often sees only the uniform, we’re working to highlight the human side of law enforcement. It’s about recognizing the individual behind the role, and supporting them with tools that connect, protect, and bring peace of mind to their colleagues, friends, and family.
### A Turn in the Night - When Cameras are Matched with AI
The ALPR system has issued an alert. A flagged vehicle is just yards ahead, its plate matched against a hot list. The officer slows the cruiser, eyes locked on the car in question. One driver. No passengers. The in-car display is clear, the reason for the hotlist match shown.
The officer pulls the suspect over, keeping distance, watching for movement. The stop should be simple, straightforward—by the book.
But simplicity rarely lasts.
As the officer steps out and approaches, the driver erupts — the door flings open, voice raised, movements erratic. The air shifts. What was steady becomes volatile.
**Even before the scene unfolds**
The officer steps out knowing his gear is ready. Thanks to built-in connectivity, the back office can monitor body camera health in real time—flagging issues early and ensuring the device is operational when it matters most. That kind of visibility means fewer surprises in the field, and one less thing for the officer to worry about when the stakes are high.
The officer holds his ground. His training kicks in. So does his technology—inside the car and [on his body](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-x2-body-camera/)––already in motion.
The encounter is escalating. And the weight of the badge, the burden of the moment, and the promise of truth and justice are about to collide.

**Previously on Behind the Badge**
The quiet rhythm of a patrol shifted when an ALPR system flagged a vehicle of interest, and the officer initiated a stop. The driver erupted from the vehicle, and the calm shattered in an instant.
Missed the beginning? Start with [Chapter 1: A Routine Patrol Turns Critical](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/behind-the-badge-chapter-1-a-routine-patrol-turns-critical/).
—
The suspect’s raised voice cuts through the night air. His hands flail unpredictably. The stop has shifted from calm observation to potential crisis in a matter of seconds.
Those who’ve worn the badge know this moment intimately. A retired officer recalls how quickly the shift can happen:
> “You go from scanning the street to managing a full-blown incident before your brain catches up. That adrenaline spike—it’s real. And every decision you make echoes long after the scene clears.”
In a profession built on readiness, stress is a constant companion. Even the most experienced officers carry the weight of second-guessing: *Did I respond fast enough? Did I follow protocol? Will this stand up under scrutiny?*
Technology can’t erase the pressure, but it can bring focus. In moments where instinct and judgment collide, clarity becomes a lifeline.
### Automatic Activation: Holster & Body-Worn Cameras
The suspect’s agitation spikes. The officer reads the signs: erratic behavior, unpredictable body language, rising volume. His hand moves toward his holster, in readiness. Suddenly, the suspect reaches for something inside the vehicle.
In that instant, both the officer and his system respond. The officer’s [Holster Activation](https://www.safefleet.net/document/holster-activation-for-law-enforcement/) triggers his [Body Camera](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-x2-body-camera/) automatically on as he draws his firearm—no buttons, no hesitation, no delay.
Every movement and exchange is captured from the officer’s point of view. This system removes the burden of remembering that one extra step during a high-stress moment. Together, these safeguards act as a safety cushion—layers of redundancy designed to protect not just the badge, but the person wearing it.
In the chaos of a confrontation, manual tasks fade from focus. A retired officer reflects:
> “When you’re in a confrontation, the last thing on your mind is, ‘Did I hit record?’ Your brain is focused on survival. Having that automatic trigger means nothing gets missed.”
That truth matters to more than just the officer. A former investigator, now working at Safe Fleet, sees the broader impact:
> “These cameras don’t just protect the officers. They protect the public by preserving what actually happened, frame by frame, without bias.”
And for families waiting at home, the reassurance is real. One husband, whose partner still serves, puts it plainly:
> “If things go sideways, I want to know there’s something watching her back—even before she calls for help.”
In moments where adrenaline overrides memory, the system doesn’t forget. It captures what matters, exactly when it matters most.
### Multiple Angles, One Story
The scene unfolds in layers. The officer’s [Body Camera](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-x2-body-camera/) captures the immediate exchange—voice commands, suspect behavior, every shift in tone and posture. The [In-Car System](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-in-car-video-system/) records the wider environment like, bystanders and vehicle positioning. Together, these systems capture both the close exchange and the complete scene, preserving the encounter in full. With connectivity built in these solutions, the footage can be uploaded securely from the field, giving supervisors and investigators access without delay.
**What if things escalated even further?**
If, for example, the officer became unresponsive and gunshots were reported nearby, the agency could act fast. Authorized staff in the back office have access to the body cam’s live-streaming capabilities and could begin monitoring the scene in real time—ensuring no detail is missed and support reaches the officer without delay.
A retired officer recalls how these perspectives can shift everything:
> “I’ve seen body camera footage that looked one way, but then the dash cam showed the suspect reaching for something you couldn’t see before. That context can completely change the narrative.”
This layered approach is especially critical at a time when public scrutiny is at an all-time high. Overlapping coverage helps ensure what’s recorded reflects what actually occurred.
### Safety, Accountability, and Support
The officer remains in place and calls for backup on his radio. The suspect is still agitated, still unpredictable. The body camera is rolling. The dash cam is recording. Every word and movement is preserved as the officer works to steady the encounter—voice firm, posture controlled, attention fixed on keeping the scene from unraveling.
Years ago, body-worn cameras were met with hesitation. Officers worried about being misunderstood, misrepresented, or micromanaged. But the landscape shifted—especially after 2020, when public scrutiny intensified and departments faced growing demands for transparency.
A retired officer reflects on that shift:
> “You’ll always have critics, but I can’t tell you how many times video cleared officers from complaints that would have otherwise gone on their record. Without that footage, it becomes one person’s word against another.”
A former investigator agrees, emphasizing the broader cultural shift:
> “These tools show transparency. They’re not there to catch officers doing something wrong, but to show the reality of what officers face.”
And for families, the presence of a camera offers something deeper than oversight. The former investigator shared conversations he’d had with spouses who felt comforted knowing encounters are recorded from start to finish:
> “They’d say, ‘At least if something happens, we’ll know what really went down.’ That’s powerful for families who live with the constant worry of their loved one not coming home.”
Technology can’t erase the stress of a volatile encounter, but it can lighten the mental load.
Automatic activation removes the need to remember one more step. Multiple angles reduce the burden of recall. And knowing the moment is documented encourages measured responses, even under pressure.
The encounter is still unfolding. But the foundation for truth is already in place.
### From Encounter to Arrest
Back at the stop, the officer maintains his distance, voice steady as backup units arrive. The suspect continues shouting, but eventually the situation stabilizes enough for an arrest to be made. The individual is secured and placed in the back of the patrol car.
**What happens next is up to the officer.**
If the footage is critical, he can flag it for priority upload—sending it securely to the cloud over cellular while still in the field. If not, it can follow standard practice and transfer later over Wi‑Fi or at the docking station. It’s a smart balance: high‑value evidence moves fast; routine footage waits. This keeps costs optimized and nothing is missed.
Throughout the encounter, every movement, every word, and every action has been captured across multiple devices. The technology has created an unbroken chain of evidence, ready to move seamlessly into the next stage of the process.
The suspect is transported, but the work is far from over. The footage now moves from the street to the station, where it will be logged, secured, and prepared for review. What began as a volatile stop is about to enter its next phase—turning raw video into evidence that can withstand the weight of scrutiny.
And that process begins even before the officer arrives back at the station.

**Previously on Behind the Badge**
A quiet patrol turned critical when an ALPR alert flagged a vehicle of interest. What should have been routine escalated fast, testing training, technology, and resolve.
Catch up on the full story here: [Chapter 1](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/behind-the-badge-chapter-1-a-routine-patrol-turns-critical/) | [Chapter 2](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/behind-the-badge-chapter-2-suspect-encounter/ "Behind the Badge: Chapter 2 – Suspect Encounter")

The patrol car pulls back into the station, its headlights cutting through the early morning gloom. The streets have quieted, but for the officer just finishing a tense encounter, the shift is far from over.
The subject is placed securely in a holding cell, but the work doesn’t end there. Now comes the part most people never see: turning moments in the field into evidence that will hold up in court.
A retired officer recalls those shifts vividly:
> “It’s not a nine-to-five job. You don’t just clock out. You’d finish the arrest, then you would be in the evidence room burning CDs until 3 a.m. just so the case would be ready for the morning. That’s the part the public never sees.”
For years, managing digital evidence meant juggling DVDs, flash drives, and stacks of paperwork. Mistakes were easy to make, files went missing, and the process consumed time that could have been better spent on the street. Now, [Digital Evidence Management Systems (DEMS)](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/digital-evidence-management/) are changing the picture.
### From Hours to Minutes: Streamlined Evidence Workflow
With the subject secured and the task of reporting still ahead, the officer turns to the next priority: preserving the night's events. In the past, this moment marked the beginning of a long shift—hours spent burning discs, labeling files, and hoping nothing slipped through the cracks.
Now, evidence transfer can begin seamlessly in the field or back at the station. Priority evidence can be flagged for immediate upload over cellular, ensuring the most critical footage reaches investigators without delay. Footage from the [Body Camera](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-x2-body-camera/) and [In-car video system](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-in-car-video-system/) can upload securely to the cloud––over cellular while the officer is still on the scene, or over Wi-Fi, at the station. Body camera docking stations can also handle both charging and transfer in one effortless step.
**Whether flagged or streamed, the evidence is already in motion.**
In one scenario, the officer flagged priority footage for upload while still in the field. In another, he was unresponsive—and the agency activated live streaming to monitor the scene. Either way, the evidence is already under review. Footage from every responding officer is also compiled and tagged to the same event, giving teams the clarity to act fast and protect the public.
And it’s not just video from the street. When a suspect interview takes place at the station, the footage from an [integrated recording system](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/safe-fleet-focus-interview-room/) inside an interview room automatically captures high‑quality video and audio, then uploads it directly into the same case file. That means body cam footage, in‑car video, ALPR hits, and interview recordings all live together in one place—linked, secure, and ready for review.
However the evidence enters the system, everything is secured and organized within the DEMS.
- **Centralized storage:** All evidence—from body cameras, in-car video, ALPR matches, and even interview rooms—lives in one secure platform.
- **Automatic tagging:** Integration with CAD means files are labeled by incident number, officer ID, and location without requiring manual entry.
- **Remote access:** Supervisors and investigators can review footage without waiting for physical copies.
- **Built-in safeguards:** Audit trails track every action, AES-256 encryption and Microsoft Azure Government hosting protect sensitive data, and geo-redundant backups ensure evidence is never lost.
A former officer highlights why this level of organization matters:
> “I could send a disk to somebody, and they’d say, ‘Yeah, I watched it’—but I’d have no way to prove it. Now, I can see the exact time, date, and how many times they opened that file. That level of accountability changes everything in court.”
He continues, reflecting on the old workflow:
> “It used to be a nightmare. You’d have footage in one system, documents in another, and half the time things didn’t match up. Now, it’s one place, and you know the chain of custody is airtight.”
For officers, the shift means fewer late nights and less stress. For agencies, it means cases that are organized, secure, and ready to withstand the toughest scrutiny.
### Protecting Privacy with Evidence Redaction
Every frame of video tells a story, but not every face or detail belongs in the public record. Innocent bystanders, victims, and even license plates may need to be shielded before footage is shared publicly or in court.
With evidence redaction, that process becomes manageable instead of overwhelming. Faces, vehicles, and plates can be blurred automatically. Sensitive personal information can be protected. And when a case demands precision, investigators have manual tools to fine‑tune what stays visible and what doesn’t.
A former investigator explains why this matters:
> “Before, redaction could take days. Now it’s built in. You protect privacy, you protect the case, and you don’t bury officers under hours of editing.”
For agencies, this means evidence that is both usable and defensible. For officers and families, it means less weight to carry—proof that accountability and privacy can stand side by side.
### The Human Impact
The job doesn’t end when the sirens fade. For officers, the weight of each encounter lingers. That’s why these tools matter. Not just for efficiency, but for clarity, transparency, and peace of mind.
- Knowing evidence won’t go missing eases the mental load.
- Having a transparent record protects against false accusations.
- Communities can trust that critical moments are documented accurately.
A retired officer admits that even after leaving the job, the habits remain—like always choosing the seat that faces the door. Now, in his work supporting agencies that rely on this technology he finds a different kind of assurance:
> “I need to make sure my agencies are taken care of. The thought of an officer getting hurt because equipment failed—that’s the nightmare. These tools are making sure that doesn’t happen.”
From the family side, the perspective is just as clear. As the husband of a still-serving officer puts it:
> “At the end of the day, officers are people. They’re moms, dads, sons, and daughters. These systems give them a chance to do the job safely and make it home without the added fear of being second-guessed for something they didn’t do.”
The impact lifts weight from shoulders that already carry too much, protecting the truth when it matters most, and giving families the reassurance that the badge doesn’t erase the person behind it.
It also extends outward, strengthening the bond between officers and the communities they serve. When the record is clear and complete, trust has room to grow—residents see accountability in action, and agencies can stand behind their people with confidence.
### Closing the Loop: From Patrol to Prosecution
The case that began with a single plate read on a quiet street has come full circle. What started as routine, escalated into confrontation, and ended in arrest is no longer just a memory carried by one officer. Every detail is preserved, organized, and ready to stand in court.
Technology now serves as a shield of truth protecting officers, protecting families, and protecting the communities they serve. It lightens the burden of the job, safeguards the people behind the badge, and ensures when questions arise, the full story is there to be seen.
In the end, this is a story about clarity, accountability, and trust—about how the truth endures when every moment is captured, and every voice is heard.
### Epilogue: Looking Ahead
The challenges facing law enforcement aren’t going away. Officers will continue to face public scrutiny, shrinking ranks, and the emotional toll of carrying the badge. But the future doesn’t have to mean carrying that weight alone. A [comprehensive evidence capture and management ecosystem](https://www.safefleet.net/document/safe-fleet-focus-ecosystem-infographic/) is designed to stand beside them—supporting where it matters most.
- **In the field:** automatic activation and layered video ensure no moment is missed.
- **During encounters:** ALPR, body cameras, and integrated tools reduce mental load and provide clarity when seconds count.
- **At the station:** DEMs, redaction tools, and interview rooms simplify the evidence process, protecting both privacy and accountability.
A retired officer put it simply:
> “Video doesn’t lie. When the truth is there for everyone to see, that’s when officers, communities, and the justice system all win.”
Behind every clip of video is a person—an officer balancing duty and safety, and a family waiting for them to come home. Technology can’t erase the risks of the job, but it can ensure the story told is the real one, and that those who serve are never left to carry the burden alone.
To the law enforcement professionals who put on the badge each day—and to the families who stand behind them—**thank you.**

### [5 Things That Should Be on Your Back-to-school Safety Checklist](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-things-that-should-be-on-your-back-to-school-safety-checklist/)
**Published:** August 4, 2017
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Are you safety-ready for the new school year? The end of August and the start of September are quite a hectic time for transportation departments and school administration. Summer vacation time take us out of our normal operation schedules, so a quick reminder of important safety precautions is always a good idea.
To help you stay on top of things, we’ve made a back to school checklist for school transportation teams with links to resources to ensure fleet safety is under control:
1. ### Check bus camera views.
Camera placement on the bus is essential when it comes to accident reconstruction and complaint investigation.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has investigated many highway accidents where onboard video systems recorded critical crash-related information. In their [safety report](https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studies/Documents/SR1501.pdf) they recommend that on-board video systems should provide the following views to transportation teams:
- Visibility of the driver and of each occupant seating location
- Visibility of the forward of the vehicle
- Optimized frame rate, and low-light recording capability
It’s hard to provide visibility on the bus with less than four cameras on board. In some cases, you might need to reposition your cameras, for example, arrange them in a cross-view or ‘zigzag’ pattern to get more clarity on what's happening between the seats. Make sure, you have enough camera views to get a complete picture of every seat, including those high-back seats where bullying or vandalism isn't as visible.
2. ### Check the health of your video surveillance system.
Once you finished preventive maintenance of your fleet vehicles, we highly recommend checking the health of your bus video system. It will help you ensure all your video recorders are working properly and that the camera footage will be safely stored and easily accessible when you need it.
If you have a [video management software with wireless downloads](https://www.safefleet.net/products/safe-fleet-wireless-connectivity/wireless-video-downloading/), you will be able to monitor the health status of your video surveillance systems directly from your office by scheduling automatic video downloads from the bus.
Another option is to ask your drivers to check that the DVRs are working and that the cameras have no obstructions in front of them.
Next, make sure that the time is correct on the DVR. Unless you have a GPS unit connected to the DVR, time can tend to drift by several minutes over the course of a year. GPS will synchronize the accurate time and eliminate this step. Finally, do a camera view test.
If one of your system components fails, think about hardware upgrades. Very often, aging systems equal more maintenance time and money. To read more about ways to increase the life of your existing video system, check out [this blog post](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/planning-ahead-for-technology-change-part-2/).
3. ### Find ways to save time and resources.
Once the school year starts, you’ll be too busy to re-organize and make changes in your everyday operations. Look for ways to optimize your work and save time before.
For example, if you still go to the bus to remove the hard drive with the recorded bus video, think about investing in wireless solution with automatic video downloads. For example, McAllen Independent School District saves a lot of time and resources with wireless downloading during busy seasons and their team is able to respond to requests and incident investigations much faster. Frisco ISD also benefits from wireless since it makes it easier to access recorded data from different remote locations if required.
Another way to save time is to check whether your routes are efficient. The less time it takes vehicles to travel from point A to point B, the more money the transportation team saves on fuel while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To optimize logistics, you might need to have integrated vehicle and video surveillance data showing every school bus with its speed, direction, idling, and stops on a simple map layout. The best tracking and routing systems will offer a real-time view of your fleet operations with multiple options to adjust the routes according to your district’s needs.
4. ### Revise your bus surveillance policy.
To protect your school district from potential lawsuits and privacy complaints, each transportation department needs a well-defined bus surveillance policy. If you haven’t reviewed your policy in a while, now it’s time to check whether it worked for your team in the past year or whether you need to make any changes. Make sure your policy clearly states who can access the recorded footage and under which circumstances, what’s the purpose of the recording, and how student privacy rights are protected. It will help protect the reputation of your department and school administration in cases of parent complaints or lawsuits.
5. ### Review all resources to educate students and parents about school bus safety.
If you need help refreshing your school bus safety program and educating communities about school transportation, we have some helpful links to free resources.
We hope this back-to-school checklist is helpful for your transportation team and we wish you a great school year ahead, safe and stress-free.

### [5 Reasons Why Body Cameras Are Essential for Law Enforcement](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-reasons-why-body-cameras-are-essential-for-law-enforcement/)
**Published:** September 29, 2023
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
### Enhancing Safety, Accountability, and Public Trust
An essential tool for law enforcement agencies worldwide, body cameras provide independent and reliable visual and audio evidence to verify events, document statements, and behaviors, and increase transparency with communities.
Receiving praise for their potential to improve transparency, accountability, and public trust and by deterring unwanted and illegal behaviors, these cameras also increase safety for both law enforcement personnel and the public.
How do we know this? The National Institute of Justice has compiled reports from studies made in police departments all over the United States and the UK:
- The presence of body cameras reduces citizen violence and fatality rates[\[1\]](#_ftn1)[\[2\]](#_ftn2).
- Officers wearing cameras had significant reductions in complaints filed against them[\[3\]](#_ftn3).
- When body cameras were present, there was a reduction in police use-of-force[\[4\]](#_ftn4)[\[5\]](#_ftn5).
- The use of body cameras is more likely to result in arrests, charges filed, cases furthered, and guilty pleas and verdicts attained[\[6\]](#_ftn6).
### Advantages of Body Cameras in Law Enforcement Agencies
**1. Transparency and Accountability**
Body cameras promote transparency by providing an objective record of police-civilian interactions. They help ensure that everyone is held accountable for their actions, provide an unbiased account of events, and help protect agencies from libel.
**2. Enhancing Safety**
Body cameras enhance the safety of officers and civilians. Knowing their actions are being recorded can ensure officers follow procedures and can also deter civilians from behaving in a confrontational or aggressive manner.
**3. Evidence Gathering**

### [Illegally Passing a School Bus: 3 Key Factors Fueling a Student Safety Crisis–And How to Combat Them](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/illegally-passing-a-school-bus-3-key-factors-fueling-a-student-safety-crisis-and-how-to-combat-them/)
**Published:** April 4, 2025
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
One of the most searched questions on Google about school bus safety is: **"Is it illegal to pass a stopped school bus?" It might be hard to believe this is still a common question [Since the introduction of the stop arm](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-evolution-of-school-bus-stop-arms-from-basic-safety-to-high-tech-protection/), education, news, and regulations have laid down the laws regarding stopped school buses.** The answer is a clear yes—laws in every state prohibit passing a school bus when its stop-arm is extended. Yet, despite the education efforts, 95,000 illegal passing incidents happen daily in the U.S., which means students are at risk.
The problem isn’t just about reckless drivers, **gaps in awareness, the complexity of enforcement, and the need for stronger prevention measures also play a part in it.** Some drivers are distracted, others are confused about when to stop, and some simply choose to ignore the law. Without better, comprehensive, safeguards, this crisis will continue.
### The Three Key Factors Fueling Illegal Passing
The danger posed by illegal passing has led to severe injuries and [even fatalities](https://www.ctvnews.ca/london/article/community-in-mourning-after-boy-struck-by-vehicle-while-getting-off-school-bus-dies/). Data from multiple states shows a troubling trend: [violations are increasing](https://stnonline.com/news/school-bus-illegal-passings-continue-increase-nationwide-nasdpts-survey-finds/) despite campaign efforts to grow awareness. Three key reasons for this increase are :
1. **Distracted Driving:** Many drivers fail to notice or react in time to a stopped bus due to smartphone use or other distractions.
2. **Misinterpretation of Laws:** Inconsistent laws across states lead to confusion about when drivers are required to stop.
3. **Impatience:** Some drivers knowingly violate stop-arm laws, seeing school bus stops as an inconvenience rather than a legal and moral obligation.
These factors foster a dangerous environment for students around the school bus and makes it clear that single independent solutions are not enough to combat the illegal passing epidemic. We need a stronger, comprehensive approach for prevention, protection, and enforcement.
### The Consequences
Illegal passing incidents have tragic consequences, from minor injuries all the way to life-altering accidents.
Despite these dangers, enforcement remains a challenge. Traditional methods rely on eyewitness reports, which are often unreliable or incomplete. Law enforcement cannot be present at every bus stop, making it difficult to hold violators accountable. And even when single evidence capture solutions are in place, many lack the comprehensive coverage needed for the evidence to stand up in court.
### A Comprehensive Solution: The Safe Fleet Illegal Passing Suite
Effectively reducing illegal passing incidents requires a multi-layered approach, combining prevention, proactive warnings, and enforcement. The Safe Fleet Illegal Passing Suite addresses these key areas with advanced technology that enhances the bus’ visibility, protects students from danger, and helps curb driver behavior by holding violators accountable:
#### PREVENTATIVE – Enhancing Bus Visibility
Increasing the visibility of a stopped school bus is the first and most critical step in preventing illegal pass bys. The Safe Fleet Illuminated Stop Arm and Driver Alert Device do that with ultra-bright LEDs and reflective materials to ensure motorists are aware when the bus is stopped and students are boarding or exiting.
#### PROACTIVE – Protecting Students in Real Time
Even with increased visibility, some drivers still fail to stop. The Predictive Stop Arm® (PSA) uses radar and predictive analytics to detect approaching vehicles that may not stop in time. If a risk is detected, the PSA issues an audible warning—“STOP, GET BACK”—giving students crucial seconds to react and step away from harm.
#### RESPONSIVE – Capturing Violations for Accountability
Enforcement is key to deterring repeat offenders. The Safe Fleet Stop Arm Violation Enforcement System (SAVES) uses AI to capture HD video and photos of illegal pass-bys, automatically generating evidence packages for citations. By holding violators accountable, SAVES helps improve Danger Zone safety and drives long-term behavior change.
With this suite of solutions, school districts can create a safer environment for students, ensuring every child reaches their destination without unnecessary risk. When prevention, protection, and enforcement work together, we can take meaningful steps toward reducing illegal passing and preventing tragedies on the road.

So, how is real-time data transforming public transit operations? What are the benefits it brings to transit agencies? And, how does the Safe Fleet Nexus™ Video Management platform make this transformation possible?
### What Is Real-Time Data Streaming?
When we “stream data” we are interacting with packages of information sent to our devices via the internet. We interact with streamed data every day. We don’t necessarily have eight seasons of ‘Love is Blind’ stored on our phones, but rather, we request access to of this data via streaming services like Netflix or Disney+.
Real-time data streaming follows the same rule, only that the information being sent to our devices does not come from a stored library, it’s being captured at the time we request it.
When it comes to public transit networks, real-time data streaming refers to the continuous flow of data from edge devices—like cameras, GPS units, sensors, and Recorders—to a centralized platform where it can be viewed, stored, and analyzed instantly on any agency-authorized device.
This lets transit professionals monitor what’s happening across their fleet as it happens: tracking vehicles, checking video feeds, receiving equipment diagnostics, and more. The real value from this enhanced situational awareness comes from being able to respond quickly—whether it's rerouting a bus during a delay, identifying a malfunctioning camera, or accessing footage after an incident.

### [5 Must-Know School Bus Safety Tips for June National Safety Month](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-must-know-school-bus-safety-tips-for-june-national-safety-month/)
**Published:** June 13, 2025
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
For school transportation teams, every morning starts with the same goal: make sure every child arrives at school safely and gets home just the as safe. June National Safety Month offers an opportunity to take stock of what’s working, identify areas to improve, and recommit to keeping drivers and students safe. This month, we’d like to reinforce the everyday choices and systems that make this possible.
1. ### Support Drivers, On and Off the Road
Drivers are the heart of school transportation. They’re behind the wheel in every kind of weather, managing a moving classroom while staying alert to traffic and changing road conditions. Their job demands focus, flexibility, and a deep sense of care. Giving them the support they need is essential.
- **Keep training active.** Defensive driving techniques, new safety equipment, driver coaching and training should evolve along with your fleet, changing road conditions, increasing congestion, and growing distractions. Regular refreshers help drivers stay sharp and confident
- **Prioritize wellbeing.** Long hours, early mornings, and split shifts can take a toll. Supporting driver health with manageable schedules, access to wellness resources, and time to rest helps them show up focused and ready
- **Plan ahead for fatigue.** Instead of waiting until drivers are overwhelmed, use scheduling tools and clear policies to help prevent burnout and reduce risk.
2. ### Build Safer Rides for Students
Students depend on school bus transportation every day, but many are too young to fully understand how much safety matters. That’s why developing a safety mindset with the goal to ensure students stay safe from the moment they approach the bus to the moment they walk away from it is critical.
- **Set clear expectations.** Regular reminders—whether through signs, school communications, or simple verbal cues—help reinforce safe behavior on board
- **Watch the danger zone.** Vehicles passing a stopped school bus continue to be a serious threat. Tools like the Safe Fleet [Illegal Passing Suite](https://www.safefleet.net/illegal-passing-suite/), which features the Safe Fleet [Illuminated Stop Arm](https://www.safefleet.net/products/passenger-pedestrian-safety/stop-arms/) , the [Predictive Stop Arm](https://www.safefleet.net/products/passenger-pedestrian-safety/predictive-stop-arm/), and the [Stop Arm Violation Enforcement System (SAVES)](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/ai-powered-stop-arm-violation-enforcement-system-saves/), help improve safety conditions around the bus to better protect students crossing the street
- **Prepare for the unexpected.** Emergency drills and simple, repeatable instructions can make a big difference if something goes wrong. Confidence and calm can be taught, and they matter just as much as the bus itself.
3. ### Prioritize Vehicle Safety
Behind every safe student is a road-ready bus. That means everything from tire pressure to stop arms is working as it should. Consistent inspections keep things running smoothly and help prevent issues before they become incidents.
- **Make inspections matter.** Encourage drivers to take pre- and post-trip checks seriously. Looking at brakes, lights, mirrors, and stop arms. Catching small issues early can prevent bigger problems later on
- **Don’t overlook cleanliness.** A tidy, sanitized vehicle keeps the ride safer for everyone. It also helps minimize distractions, reduces health risks, and creates a better environment overall.
- **Invest in what works.** Equip buses with proven, [reliable safety solutions](https://www.safefleet.net/markets/bus-rail/school-transportation/) that reduce failure points and support drivers and students when it matters most. A smart investment up front can prevent costly incidents later on.
4. ### Recognize the People Behind the Wheel
Every safe route, avoided incident, and smooth morning pickup is thanks to the people behind the scenes. National Safety Month is a perfect time to hit pause, look around, and say “thank you.” Recognition is more than a morale boost, it’s a way to reinforce what’s working.
- **Appreciate your drivers.** Highlight safe driving milestones, calm responses to tough situations, or the everyday reliability that keeps routes on track. Recognition builds morale and sets a strong example
- **Share success stories.** When a safety practice prevents a close call or improves student behavior, tell that story. It helps others see what works and reminds your team the effort matters.
5. ### Keep Safety a Year-Round Conversation
National Safety Month may happen in June, but the lessons we focus on now should last far beyond the calendar. Building safer school transportation systems means staying curious, open to improvement, and committed to the people we serve—all year long.
- **Review and adjust.** Use this month as a check-in. Are your safety policies up to date? Are there new tools that could help? What needs refreshing before school starts again
- **Encourage momentum.** Safety is an ongoing process. Encourage your team to keep sharing insights, raising questions, and making small improvements every day.

### [From Patrol to Prosecution: 6 Ways the FOCUS® Ecosystem Keeps Officers Safer](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/from-patrol-to-prosecution-6-ways-the-focus-ecosystem-keeps-officers-safer/)
**Published:** June 23, 2025
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
Every day, law enforcement officers step into unpredictable situations. A quiet patrol can change in an instant. During June National Safety Month, we’re focusing on ways to protect the people behind the badge and help make sure they return home safely at the end of each shift.
The **Safe Fleet FOCUS Ecosystem** is built with officer safety in mind. From patrol to prosecution, it creates a secure, connected workflow that helps officers act with confidence, respond with clarity, and preserve every detail along the way.
Here’s how that plays out in the field:
1. ### Smart Patrol with ALPR
While patrolling downtown, an officer using the [FOCUS® In-Car System with ALPR](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-in-car-video-system/#:~:text=The%20FOCUS%20In%2Dcar%20Video%20System%20is%20an%20'edge%20computing,the%20vehicle%20for%20immediate%20notifications.) automatically scans vehicles around the patrol car, without any additional effort from the officer. When a hot-listed plate is detected, the officer receives an alert, along with a plate patch, vehicle picture, and description of the hit.
**Safety Impact:**Immediate alerts give officers time to assess the situation, improving readiness and lowering risk. FOCUS® serves as a silent partner, always scanning plates and notifying officers of matches, even when officers are actively engaged in other patrol activities.
2. ### License Plate Aggregation (LPA) and NEXUS Integration
After the ALPR alert, the officer pulls over the hot-listed vehicle and observes it from a distance. License plates read by FOCUS® In-Car units in the field are automatically sent to the [NEXUS™ Digital Evidence Management System](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/digital-evidence-management/). From there, investigators using license plate analytics (LPA) can search historic plate data, review past hits, and export scan records. These tools make it easy to track a vehicle’s movements across multiple locations over time and identify trends.
**Safety Impact:**The officer stays focused on the scene while backend teams support with real-time data. LPA allows for centralized management and review of ALPR devices and plate hits, which is a great fit for a real-time crime center or investigative unit.
3. ### Suspect Encounter & Response
As someone approaches the vehicle, the officer engages. The individual becomes agitated and non-compliant. When the officer draws their firearm, Safe Fleet® Holster Activation™ triggers a recording on their [FOCUS® Body Camera](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/focus-x2-body-camera/) automatically.
**Safety Impact:**Automatic activation gives officers one less thing for to worry about. Every moment is captured without delay, supporting transparency and safety for everyone involved.
4. ### Arrest & Evidence Capture
The suspect is taken into custody. Video from the body-camera, in-car dash camera, and in-vehicle rear seat camera captures the full encounter—from first contact to secure transport. All footage is automatically uploaded to [NEXUS™ Evidence Management](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/digital-evidence-management/), where it’s securely stored, organized, and linked to the case.
**Safety Impact:**Multiple perspectives of the incident are captured from activations to ensure a complete, documented chain of events. It protects officers, agencies, and communities.
5. ### Interview & Case Creation
Back at the station, the suspect is interviewed in a [FOCUS® Interview Room](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/safe-fleet-focus-interview-room/). High-quality video is securely streamed and stored. All footage is automatically uploaded to [NEXUS™ Evidence Management](https://www.safefleet.net/nexus-white-paper/) and linked to the case via CAD integration.
**Safety Impact:**Officers spend less time managing files and more time focused on the job. Secure storage and organization reduce the chance of lost or mishandled evidence.
6. ### Case Sharing & Court Prep
With the case built, investigators prepare video for legal use using [Safe Fleet® Redact™](https://www.safefleet.net/document/safe-fleet-redact/). Footage and metadata are securely delivered to a neighboring agency and the city attorney via [Safe Fleet Courier](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/law-enforcement-video-evidence-systems/digital-evidence-management/) on the NEXUS™ Evidence Management platform for joint prosecution.
**Safety Impact:**Sensitive material stays protected. Evidence is shared securely and efficiently, without compromising privacy or legal integrity.
### A Safer Process from Start to Finish
The FOCUS Ecosystem supports officers at every stage of a response. It strengthens decision-making, ensures transparency, and helps create safer outcomes for officers, agencies, and the communities they serve.
This June National Safety Month, we honor the officers working to keep our communities safe—and the tools that help them #ComeHomeSafe.

### [4 Onboard Tech Solutions That Help Prevent Transit and School Bus Accidents](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/4-onboard-tech-solutions-that-help-prevent-transit-and-school-bus-accidents/)
**Published:** September 4, 2025
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
In the 2002 sci-fi thriller *Minority Report*, Tom Cruise’s character works at a futuristic agency that uses a combination of data-driven technology with insights from three paranormal individuals who can foresee accidents and stop them before they ever happen. And while the latter part of the formula isn’t quite available (yet!), today, transit agencies and school districts can leverage connected technology to help prevent future problems from happening too.
Transit agencies and school districts face constant pressure to improve safety and efficiency. Passenger expectations are rising. Urban demand is growing. Budgets are tight.
Connected onboard technology helps address these challenges. These systems link through cloud and networked platforms. Data does not stay locked on the vehicle. It flows securely between onboard systems, cloud storage, and back-office tools.
This creates a live connection between vehicles, staff, and decision-makers. With better information, agencies move from reacting to incidents to building proactive safety and operational strategies.
### The Reactive Era
Recorders and onboard camera systems have long been the foundation of onboard fleet safety tech. They provide reliable post-incident evidence , support investigations, and help reduce liability. The National Transportation Safety Board [has cited](https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studies/Documents/SR1501.pdf?) onboard video as a key factor in resolving accident cases quickly.
This approach remains effective. It strengthens accountability and gives fleet managers confidence when reviewing and responding to events. For fleet managers looking to go further, **connected** onboard technology adds a new layer. These newer systems focus on prevention and real-time intervention, helping reduce risks before they become incidents.
### The Proactive Shift
Modern connected onboard systems are designed to improve safety and efficiency by providing drivers and operators with better visibility, data, and feedback.
1. [Driver monitoring solutions](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/ai-based-driver-behavior-monitoring-system/) use intelligent analysis to track behaviors like distraction, rolling stops, or speeding. Fleets using these systems [have reported](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/241114039_Use_of_a_Video_Monitoring_Approach_to_Reduce_At-Risk_Driving_Behaviors_in_Commercial_Vehicle_Operations) up to a 60 percent reduction in risky driving after targeted coaching
2. [Mirrorless camera vision systems](https://www.safefleet.net/products/passenger-pedestrian-safety/mirrorless-camera-vision-mirror-system/) improve visibility in poor weather, low light, and blind spots. Better visibility reduces side-swipe and lane-change collisions, which account for [nearly 10 percent ](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8586235/)of large vehicle crashes
3. [Automated bus lane enforcement](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/automated-bus-lane-enforcement-able/) applies smart AI-detection to keep transit routes clear. Unauthorized vehicles in bus lanes cause delays and increase risk. Cities using automated enforcement [have reported](https://trid.trb.org/View/1631579) fewer violations and more reliable service
4. [Stop-arm violation enforcement technology](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/ai-powered-stop-arm-violation-enforcement-system-saves/) leverages advanced video analytics to address a critical concern in school transportation. National surveys estimate more than 240,000 vehicles illegally pass school buses every single school day in the United States. Automated enforcement helps increase accountability and reduce repeat offenses. Each system addresses a different safety concern. By highlighting risks, capturing evidence, or deterring violations, they help fleets build strategies that reduce repeat offenses and lower the chance of future incidents.
### Why Connection Matters
Every onboard system mentioned above produces video, data, and alerts. Without integration, managers face a flood of separate files and dashboards. Information becomes harder to act on.
Connected systems provide a clear view across the fleet. Managers can see patterns in driver behavior, recurring safety risks, or common traffic violations. They can respond in near real time. They can target resources where they are needed most. Integration turns data into intelligence.
### Bringing It All Together
The technologies we’ve covered each play a vital role in improving safety. But their impact grows when paired with tools that unify and streamline the data they produce.
That’s where Nexus Video Management comes in.
Nexus is a cloud-based video management platform that collects footage directly from onboard recorders, uploads it automatically, and makes it available in near real-time from any secure device. No more swapping drives, chasing down buses, or waiting to see if cameras are working.
With Nexus, fleets get:
- **Hands-free uploads** via cellular or Wi-Fi
- **Built-in compliance and security** with SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certification
- **Chain-of-custody tracking** for reliable evidence handling
- **Smart redaction tools** to protect privacy without slowing investigations
System health checks run weekly, System health runs continuously to monitor recorder performance and system status. Camera checks automatically capture screenshots each week for admin review, helping you catch issues like flagging blur, obstruction, or misalignment so you can fix issues before they cost you critical footage. And because Nexus is fully cloud-based, there are no servers to maintain. It scales with your fleet, reduces IT workload, and ensures video evidence is always secure and accessible.
### Building Safer Fleets
Connected onboard technology supports more than compliance or liability protection. It strengthens safety for passengers, students, and drivers. For transit, this means more reliable service and fewer delays. For school transportation, it means greater accountability and safer travel for children.
Traditional tools like recorders and cameras have long helped fleets understand what happened after an incident. They’re the foundation of accountability. But today’s connected systems do more than look back—they help fleets look ahead. By combining visibility, data, and real-time insights, these technologies shift safety from reactive to predictive. It’s not precognition, but it’s the closest thing we’ve got.
Learn more about Nexus and see how modern video management can transform your operations—by helping prevent accidents before they happen.

### [School Bus Stop Arm Violations Resulting in Child Injury and Fatality](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/school-bus-stop-arm-violations-resulting-in-child-injury-and-fatality/)
**Published:** May 8, 2019

### Driving the numbers down using technology and a completely new approach
Up until now, we’ve faced student safety outside the school bus as we always have. We’ve focused on educating passing motorists on how and when it’s safe and legal to pass a school bus. We’ve relied on drivers to recognize and know the expected behaviors when it’s not safe to pass the bus; ticketing and fines the result of stop-arm violations that are caught either on video or in person. The unfortunate reality of this approach on its own is that it will take a long time before we are able to reach our targets of [Vision Zero.](https://visionzeronetwork.org/)
In order to make a real and impactful difference that results in a reduction in incidents today, not years from now, we need to approach this problem differently.
### Finding a more effective solution is urgent
Eight students were killed in school bus loading and unloading accidents in the 2016-2017 school year. This number is double that of the number of students killed in similar situations during the 2015-2016 school years. And late last year in the space of one week, we saw evidence that the 2018-2019 school year was looking even worse. Several children were killed and others injured in multiple incidents outside of school buses across the nation.
The 2018 NASDPTS National Stop Arm Violation survey shows 108,944 school bus drivers reporting 83,944 vehicles illegally passing their buses on one single day alone. The study surmises a 180 day school year would result in over 15 million violations.
Our children are and will remain in harm’s way, as we add more cars, more drivers and distraction to our daily lives. Taking the above survey numbers into consideration, it’s disheartening to know that we will continue to hear of accidents that could and should be prevented. Children will needlessly face injury and even possibly death outside the school bus: unless we do something really different from what we are currently doing today.
### Catching and ticketing Stop-Arm Violators is not enough
We only need to look at the issue of drunk driving to see that a requirement for change in how we approach accidents outside the school bus is necessary.
Consider the millions of dollars spent every year to prevent drunk driving. These high-profile, high-cost campaigns have been running nation-wide for the past 30 years. And yet, every day almost 30 people in the United States die in drunk driving related crashes. In 2017, one person died every 48 minutes. Drunk driving related deaths have fallen by one third over this 30-year timespan, but drunk driving continues to claim an average of [10,000 lives a year. ](https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunk-driving)
It’s clear that education and the resulting repercussions of bad decisions (fines, loss of license and even jail time) help affect positive change. But it’s also clear from the drunk driving information shown above that change takes time and in this case, time is not on our side. One more child injury or death is one too many. [](#_ednref1)
### Technology and out-of-the-box thinking can drive change
Radar technology, predictive analytics and approaching the problem from a different angle are about to change how we manage this most serious issue. Our hope is this new technology and innovative perspective, The Predictive Stop Arm® will help drive down the number of accidents, the number of injuries, and the number of student deaths outside the bus.
At Safe Fleet, we believe a shift from solely trying to control the behavior of passing motorists to one in which we actively engage with the students directly can help students better avoid the danger of distracted motorists. We’re using radar technology and predictive analytics to monitor oncoming vehicle traffic around the school bus, gauging the risk of stop-arm violations and proactively issuing audible and visual warnings inside and outside the bus. Both the driver and the students are notified when it’s not safe to cross.
Our goal is to prevent the accident before it occurs and help springboard us all towards Vision Zero. And to do this, we are doing things differently.

### How do we really drive the numbers down?
We need to face some very hard facts. We are becoming more and more distracted. Our children are, and will continue to be in harm’s way, as we add more cars, more drivers and distraction to our daily lives: unless we do something really different from what we are currently doing today.
Consider the millions of dollars that are spent every year to prevent drunk driving. A host of high-profile, high-cost campaigns are run nation-wide to spread awareness and encourage responsible driver behavior.
Consider also that drunk driving prevention campaigns and awareness programs have been in wide-spread circulation for the past 30 years. And yet, every day almost 30 people in the United States die in drunk driving related crashes. In 2017, one person died every 48 minutes. Drunk driving related deaths have fallen by one third over this 30 year timespan, but drunk driving continues to claim an average of 10,000 lives [a year.](https://www.nhtsa.gov/risky-driving/drunk-driving)
It’s clear that education and the resulting repercussions of bad decisions (fines, loss of license and even jail time) help effect positive change. But it’s also clear from the drunk driving information shown above that change takes time and in this case time is not on our side. One more child injury or death is one too many. Eight students were killed in school bus loading and unloading accidents in the 2016-2017 school year. This number is double that of the number of students killed in similar situations during the 2015-2016 school years.
Given that we are approaching this problem as we always have — trying to make passing motorists aware of the laws around how and when it’s safe and legal to pass a school bus and to recognize and know the expected behaviors when it’s not safe to pass the bus, the reality is that it will take a long time before we are able to reach our targets of [Vision Zero.](https://visionzeronetwork.org/)
In order to make a real and impactful difference that results in a reduction in incidents today, not years from now, we need to approach this problem differently.

### [How to Avoid Getting Swamped with Requests for Bus Surveillance Video](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-to-avoid-getting-swamped-with-requests-for-bus-surveillance-video/)
**Published:** May 12, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
For a lot of urban transit systems, the volume of requests from law enforcement for bus surveillance video to aid in criminal investigations can be overwhelming. And even worse, the process you have to go through to locate relevant video is often time-consuming — but it doesn't have to be. If this situation sounds familiar, you might want to consider investing in video management software with automatic video downloading capabilities. Advanced video management software can drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to locate, retrieve, and review requested bus video. Here are just a few ways it can help:
### Eliminate Manual Video Retrieval
One of the easiest ways to speed up the video retrieval process is to take advantage of wireless networking to download video. Buses can be equipped with a wireless bridge so that you can download video over a WiFi network as soon as it returns to the yard. But a word of caution, not all WiFi networks are suitable for video downloading. Work with your video surveillance provider to ensure you implement a wireless solution that is ready for the throughput and bandwidth that video demands.
### Trigger Automatic Video Downloading
[Video surveillance management software](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/cloud-based-video-evidence-management-for-transit-buses/) can be set up to trigger the automatic download of bus video based on certain conditions such as hard braking, vehicle speed, panic alarms, or sharp turns and stops. You can also schedule video to be downloaded as soon as you receive a request for video. You don’t have to wait until the bus returns to the yard.
### Search for Video by Geographic Location
Ever get a request from law enforcement for video footage from a particular intersection? What happens when you discover that more than 10 buses cross that intersection in a day? It could take hours to produce the right footage. With a feature like geographic search found in the Safe Fleet Nexus Video Management software, you could process this request in seconds instead of hours. Selecting an area on the map will create a search zone and display the routes of any buses that traveled in that zone on the chosen day. Simply click on the route displayed to set the start and end time of your recording. Voila! Your video is prepped for download!
### Store Video in a Secure, Central Location
Once you've downloaded your video, you also want to easily locate it in the future while ensuring it doesn't get into the wrong hands. Good video surveillance management software lets you control access to video by assigning varying levels of user permissions and gives you an easy way to search your video archives for relevant footage.
Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed by video requests! A small investment in video surveillance management software with wireless downloading can yield big savings on your time and labor.

### [3 Ideal Scenarios for High-definition Bus Cameras](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/3-ideal-scenarios-for-high-definition-bus-cameras/)
**Published:** February 8, 2013
**Author:** cmorris

High-definition (HD) cameras have been used for many years in the fixed surveillance world to help deliver sharper, clearer images, and are particularly useful in identifying fine details. Recently, HD cameras have made in-roads in mobile surveillance applications, and have a number of features that can benefit a school or transit fleet.
With 1280 x720 resolution (three times the resolution of a typical analog camera), HD cameras can deliver a sharper and cleaner picture and allow you to digitally zoom to get a better look at the scene. These HD cameras, specifically designed for mobile environments, use progressive scanning to produce smoother images, reducing motion blur artifacts from moving vehicles. HD cameras have a complete digital signal flow from camera to recorder, reducing the signal noise and improving overall image quality. With these technical benefits, here are 3 specific scenarios where HD bus cameras can be most useful:
### 1. License plate capture
HD cameras using a telephoto lens can capture the license plates of vehicles illegally passing a stopped school bus. Zeroing in on the license plate using the digital zoom feature produces a higher quality image due to the higher resolution of HD bus camera. The extra sharpness and clarity of the HD cameras make them the ideal solution for capturing license plates of cars illegally passing the bus, even at high speeds.
Vehicles driving in HOV or bus lanes are a problem for public transit buses. A forward-facing HD camera with a wide angle lens can capture the license plates of cars driving in the bus lane in front of the bus. This camera offers a 90 degree field of view, giving an exceptional, wide-angle overview of the scene ahead while capturing license plates of cars in front of the bus.
### 2. Accident reconstruction
When a bus is involved in a traffic accident, crash investigators often look to video footage to see what took place outside of the bus. Whether it is a minor traffic accident, ora more serious incident involving pedestrians, video footage captured by a forward-facing HD camera provides sharp evidence to reconstruct the accident. A wide-angle view of the scene coupled with vehicle telemetry data, such as braking and signals, can aid in identifying who was at fault. This can help school districts or transit agencies avoid hefty litigation costs or insurance bills.
### 3. Identify faces more clearly
The higher resolution and cleaner images captured by HD cameras make identifying faces much easier. Obtain the visual evidence needed to determine who is at a bus stop and who boards the bus. Unfortunately, in today's public transit and even school bus environment, crimes happen. High-quality images can help in the identification of the guilty parties and can be used as evidence for prosecution.

### [Video Captures Alabama School Bus Drama Highlighting Importance of Emergency Preparedness](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/video-captures-alabama-school-bus-drama-highlighting-importance-of-emergency-preparedness/)
**Published:** February 21, 2013
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
As a parent of two school-aged children, and working in the school bus security industry, the recent school bus driver shooting and child abduction in Alabama really struck a chord with me. The heroic tale of the school bus driver’s ultimate sacrifice to protect his precious cargo left me wiping tears from my eyes and I was glued to on-line coverage of the successful rescue effort of little 5-year old Ethan.
When I discovered that a Seon [school bus camera](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/school-bus-camera-systems/school-bus-cameras/) captured the confrontation, I was glad our camera system was able to contribute to the investigation and reveal the true courage of the school bus driver. As details of the on-board events were released to the media, it reinforced for me the importance of emergency preparedness in school transportation.
The video footage retrieved from the bus revealed a terrifying 4 ½ minute ordeal for students, culminating in the fatal shooting of the school bus driver, Charles Poland and the kidnapping of a 5-year old child. But what the school bus video highlighted was an incredible display of school bus safety and emergency preparedness training.
Let’s examine a few factors that played a role in preventing an even greater tragedy:
### School Bus Camera Systems Installed on the Bus
According to CNN, the scene was captured by a camera mounted at the front of the bus. Thanks to the foresight of Dale County school transportation officials, a working school bus camera was installed to protect drivers and students. That footage can be used by investigators and school officials to not only get a clearer picture of the sequence of events, but devise ways to prevent it from happening in the future.
### School Bus Driver Trained to Protect Students
Witnesses and officials who reviewed the recording reported that Jimmy Dykes boarded the bus with a gun and handed the school bus driver a note demanding to take several children. Charles Poland, the school bus driver, refused. He placed himself between the gunman and students saying, according to a report from [School Bus Fleet](http://www.schoolbusfleet.com/Channel/School-Bus-Safety/News/2013/02/12/More-details-on-Alabama-bus-driver-s-heroic-response.aspx?ref=Newsline-20130212&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=Enewsletter), “These are my students, they are my responsibility, and you are not taking them off this bus.” That heroic act alone gave students time to escape using the emergency exit at the rear of the bus, and prevented any further hostages or injuries.
### Students Practiced Emergency Evacuation Drills
Follow-up coverage on this story also revealed that as the school bus driver blocked the path of the would-be kidnapper, older students opened an emergency exit on the back of the bus and ran away from the bus. Twice-yearly emergency drills taught them how to evacuate; training they used to escape this very dangerous situation. This emergency preparedness training prevented more students from being hurt or taken by the gunman.
### All Safety Procedures Followed
Officials in Alabama report that all safety procedures were followed, contributing to the safe return home of those 21 students on board the bus. Dale County officials can be credited for their efforts to ensure student and driver safety through emergency training. But above all, it was the selfless act of one school bus driver, Charles ‘Chuck’ Poland, that saved the lives of these students. It takes a special kind of individual to put themselves in harm’s way to protect the lives of others. We, along with the rest of the world, mourn his loss and will forever remember his dedication to his students. He was a true hero, deserving of this week’s nomination for the President’s Medal of Freedom.

### [Dealing with Difficult Passengers on Board: Strategies, Practices, and Resources](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/dealing-with-difficult-passengers-on-board-strategies-practices-and-resources/)
**Published:** February 17, 2015

Approximately 2,000 assaults against transit operators happen in Canada each year, says a report published by the Canadian Urban Transit Association. Drivers in the USA are under the same risk of violent attacks. As the government, transit agencies, and transportation associations work to improve the situation, we would like to share some of our insights, resources, and examples to help protect operators and even prevent assaults from happening in the first place.
### Positive Attitude for Conflict Prevention
One of the best ways to protect bus drivers is to train them to prevent conflicts. A recognized expert and trainer in personal safety and founder of Road Worthy Communication, Bill Parsons, explained in an interview with Seon that the most challenging thing in such training is to make operators believe in their own power to choose their mindset and attitude towards others that will direct their actions. By using this power, combined with special communications strategies and tactics, operators can de-escalate difficult situations quickly and even save lives. To learn more about these strategies, you can read the full interview with Bill Parsons [here](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-bus-operator-toolbox-conflict-resolution-and-communication-strategies-that-can-save-lives-part-2/ "The Bus Operator Toolbox: Interview with Bill Parsons").
Just a few days ago I personally witnessed a very interesting case of conflict prevention on a regular transit bus. It was on the 4:20 pm route from the industrial park where our office is located, to the closest Rapid Transit station: so, almost 90% of passengers on-board were people who takethat bus route every day. At one of the stops a group of loud, intoxicated and unkempt people jumped on the bus and continued a very boisterous and harsh discussion they had started before boarding. All the passengers were quite unpleasantly surprised by the noise and the vocabulary of the conversation. After a few moments, as the group did not calm down and the discussion was even more heated, the bus driver decided to take action and improvise for the sake of passenger safety.
Instead of arguing and being irritated with the noisy passengers, the operator made a very humorous and friendly speech that had a much better effect on the audience. He greeted everyone on-board, introduced himself, and said that when it is raining it is usually quite challenging to navigate the bus and, since it was pouring outside, he apologized for the slower traffic on the roads. Then he added, “But today, you should be enjoying your trip even more since we have a very special drive with the combination of both stormy showers and “stormy” passengers. Here all passengers started laughing and after a couple of other friendly comments from the driver everyone on the bus was in a really good mood, smiling and exchanging comments, while the loud friends became quiet until the end of the trip.
This was a great example of how humor and positive attitude can help de-escalate a conflict on board and prevent violent situations from happening.
### Resources for Transit Safety
But policies and communication strategies alone are not sufficient for assault prevention. These methods should be combined with modern safety technologies. To meet the challenges of public transportation, technologies such as high-resolution camera systems, GPS fleet tracking, and live video streaming, can be used to monitor driver safety in real-time. Visit our [web site](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/) to learn more.
Last year, Seon launched a Stop Violence Against Driver’s campaign, creating a resource page on our web site with the links to training, best practices, pending legislation, and other organization’s initiatives to help protect operators, and publishing a YouTube video on ‘Making Transit Safer for Operators’ to promote the campaign.
As we continued to examine and analyze the most efficient assault prevention strategies, we found an interesting example of safety guidelines from Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) in Melbourne, Australia, that can be compared with the practices we have in North America. The organization offers training and guidelines for bus operators on how to deal with difficult passengers. If a disruptive situation escalates, “drivers should try to avoid conflict at all times”, states TSV. The following actions may help the operator to address the passenger behavior:
- stop the vehicle when and where considered safe
- open all doors
- remain in the driver's seat or area if appropriate
- request the difficult or aggressive passenger to alight from the vehicle
- do not physically handle the passenger unless you are acting in self-defense (If acting in self-defense the amount of force used must be reasonable and proportional)
- call a supervisor
For additional protection, the organization proposes to use alarms and emergency communication systems, barriers, audio and video surveillance cameras, as well as GPS-based vehicle tracking.

### [Image Quality and DVR Reliability: Key Factors in Choosing the Right Stop-arm Camera Solution](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/image-quality-and-dvr-reliability-key-factors-in-choosing-the-right-stop-arm-camera-solution/)
**Published:** April 26, 2013
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Seon has been providing mobile surveillance systems to school districts across North America for over a decade. Our many valuable customers and contacts cite our camera system reliability and image quality as key factors in why they continue to choose Seon solutions over any other vendor. These two factors have never been more important, now that stop-arm cameras are gaining in popularity. Districts are relying on the camera image quality and DVR reliability to capture stop-arm violators in action. If a DVR fails to record a stop-arm incident, no evidence of the violation will be available to identify the vehicle and notify the driver of their error, allowing this behavior to continue and risking the lives of students in the future.
### Choose a vendor with a track record for reliability
Ensuring your stop-arm supplier has a track record of reliability is an essential step in choosing the right stop-arm solution. With over 140,000 systems sold across the USA, Seon’s systems have proven to be reliable, one customer citing less than a .01% failure rate in his fleet. This low failure rate is a result of careful design and the know-how of engineers who architect our products to withstand the rigors of the road. Choosing quality parts, such as hard disk drives (HDDs) instead of secure digital (SD) memory cards, increases the capacity and lifespan of your recording medium, ensuring you always capture what is most important.
Dale Dunham, Assistant Transportation Director at Centralia School District #401, Washington, has Seon camera systems on his school buses. He claims that there have been no problems in any loss of footage. Mr. Dunham states, “Our Seon hard drives work superbly. There have been no issues at all, and they are easy to use — you plug them in, usage is simple, and point blank, they work. I have absolutely no complaints with our hard drives, and it is great to be able to rely on Seon’s DVR systems.”
### Verify stop-arm violation image quality
A critical next step in choosing the right stop-arm solution is verifying the quality of the cameras used to capture license plates of stop-arm violators. “There are really two key factors in consistently and accurately capturing the license plates of vehicles illegally passing a school bus — camera position and image quality,” says Peter Simmons, Director of Marketing at Seon. “Even if you install the cameras in the right position, the camera must be designed to provide high-resolution images, clear enough to capture the license plates of vehicles passing at potentially high speeds.”
Not just any camera can be mounted outdoors to capture details like a license plate number. It must be an outdoor-rated camera, built to stand up to extreme humidity or the pressure of a bus wash. The camera must also have at least a 16 mm telephoto lens to be able to identify numbers on a license plate. Seon has introduced a high-definition camera that delivers 3x the resolution of a typical analog camera, ideal for this application.
### Check that state laws allow for stop-arm cameras
Consider also whether your state has legislation that allows for automated cameras or video recording systems to detect and prosecute individuals illegally passing school buses. If state or local laws do not allow for the use of automated cameras on school buses, there may be an issue using the video evidence in court. Working with your camera vendor to understand the state law is always a good idea.
### Beware of ‘no cost’ solutions
Now that you’ve found a vendor that has a track record for reliability, verified the image quality to ensure video evidence is good enough for use in prosecuting offenders, and confirmed your state law allows for the use of stop-arm cameras, it is time to make a move. Some stop-arm vendors offer ‘free’ or ‘no cost’ equipment in exchange for the lion’s share of the ticket revenue. Tread carefully when you consider entering into a multi-year contract with this type of supplier.
Make sure you are comfortable with giving up control over your school bus video footage and what buses the systems are placed on.
With Seon, adding the capability to capture stop-arm violations can be as simple and cost effective as adding one exterior camera to your existing system. Investing in your own stop-arm solution ensures you get complete coverage of your entire fleet and you maintain the chain of custody for your video footage.
Choosing the right stop-arm solution can be tricky, especially since it is a relatively new area of school bus surveillance. We hope these handy tips will set you on the right path to student safety.

### [Expert Advice Series: Special Needs Transportation (Part 1)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/expert-advice-series-special-needs-transportation-part-1/)
**Published:** March 18, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Bio:
*Kala Henkensiefken is the Transportation Coordinator for Brainerd Public Schools – ISD 181 in Minnesota, and an advocate for Special Needs Transportation education and training. Kala started her career in pupil transportation in 1989 as a bus driver, and is now the current President of the Minnesota Association for Pupil Transportation (MNAPT). She has served on the MNAPT Special-ed Transportation Committee since 1989, and is the current Chair for the committee. In 2013, Kala won the Peter J. Grandolfo Memorial Award of Excellence in recognition of her achievements in Special-ed Transportation.*
Transporting students with special needs presents some unique challenges for pupil transportation and is becoming increasingly complex. Matching student needs with vehicle equipment, addressing individual education plan (IEP) requirements, and understanding state regulations can be daunting.
As an expert on the subject of special needs transportation, we caught up with Kala Henkensiefken shortly before the [Transporting Students with Disabilities Conference](http://www.tsdconference.com/).We wanted to get her views on the secrets to successful transportation of students with special needs. Here is what she shared with us:
**Q. What are your top challenges in transporting students with disabilities?**
> **A.** I think one of the main challenges special needs transportation faces is getting the proper training for our drivers and support people. What is classified as ‘Special Needs’ can range from physical disabilities, to mental health, and behavior disorders. Drivers and aides need to be properly trained on how to appropriately handle different situations and different abilities, for special needs transportation to be successful.
>
> The key challenge in providing training is getting funding approval from the school administration. That funding includes the cost of bringing in trainers, but also the driver’s hourly rate while they are participating in training classes.
**Q. Why would getting funding for special needs training be difficult? It seems like a no-brainer.**
> **A.** I think part of the problem is that the transportation department is always “low man on the totem pole” when it comes to training and funding within the education system. From our point of view, transportation is essential – if kids don’t get to school, they can’t learn.
>
> Part of the difficulty in getting funding approval is a lack of understanding that the bus environment is different from the classroom environment. Instead of a teacher facing a class and keeping an eye on students at all times, bus drivers have their backs to students and must pay attention to the road ahead. Even though 75% of our special needs buses have a 2nd adult on the bus, the bus drivers must be trained on how to assist in loading and unloading children with special equipment, proper securement techniques, and also how to deal with medical or social situations.
**Q. So what’s worked in your district to enable you to get the funding needed to train drivers?**
> **A.** What’s worked for us is really building relationships with school administration to take a collaborative approach to special needs children. Providing the administration team with a greater awareness of the importance of transportation and the challenges of the bus environment were key to building that successful relationship.

### [Expert Advice Series: Special Needs Transportation (Part 2)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/expert-advice-series-special-needs-transportation-part-2/)
**Published:** March 18, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Our industry expert, Kala Henkensiefken, had such valuable insight and advice on the subject of special needs transportation, we asked her to share more on her secrets to success. Here is the rest of our interview:
**Q. Do you think Special Needs Transportation has become more complex over the years?**
> **A.** Yes, definitely. I think the school system is identifying children with disabilities at an earlier age and more of those children are transported on buses than ever before. The range of disabilities travelling on the school bus has increased as well. On special needs buses you may have children that have a physical disability which brings the challenges of proper securement and a more lengthy loading and unloading process. You also may have children diagnosed with autism that have significant behavioral challenges that need to be addressed throughout the ride to school. This has further increased the demand for special needs training from just things like securement to include training on behavior management.
>
> Another complexity comes in on the routing side. In our district we have to ensure that a special needs student is not riding the bus any longer than a general-ed student which is approximately 1 ½ hours. Since we operate in a rural district, special needs students often live up to 40 miles from their school. Ensuring ride times don’t exceed that guideline of 1 ½ hours can be challenging.
**Q. What technologies or equipment do you use to ensure the safe transportation of students with disabilities?**
> **A.** Of course when it comes to transporting students in wheelchairs, our securement technology is very important, but we also rely on our routing software to alert parents when a bus is down due to mechanical issues, and our child check system to ensure no child is left on the bus unattended.
>
> Our Seon camera systems have also been a great tool to not only address discipline and behavior issues reported on the bus, but to use as a teaching mechanism for both drivers and the school administration. Video is very powerful in delivering the context of what is really happening.
>
> We had a case recently where a behavior problem with an autistic child was reported. We pulled the video and brought in not only the bus driver and aide, but the child’s entire support system including the autism specialist and special-ed staff from the school. Viewing the video together as a team allowed the autism specialist to give the bus driver and aide some insight on why the child responded the way they did and offer guidance on how to better handle any discipline issues in the future to prevent that type of response. Although the driver and aide were initially upset we pulled the video, it ended up being a positive learning experience for everyone.
>
> If I were to sum it up, having cameras on the buses has definitely helped make students’ rides much more pleasant and gives drivers the tools they need to address any issues.
**Q. What are some best practices that you would recommend to others for the successful transportation of special needs students?**
> **A.** I would recommend a couple of things. Number one, build successful relationships between the special needs staff at your schools and your transportation staff. Use your camera systems as a tool to foster that relationship. When special-ed staff can see and hear first-hand what the issues are on the bus, it goes a long way to resolving the problem and creating a better situation for the child. It will also help the school administration appreciate the challenges that transportation staff face on a daily basis.
>
> Another recommendation I would make is to get involved with your state organization. My home state of Minnesota has a special-ed transportation committee that meets regularly to talk about common challenges and share success stories. We bring in a speaker and have a different topic of discussion each month. We also make those monthly meetings available via live streaming for those districts that can’t afford the time or money to travel — that way everyone in the state can benefit from the discussion.
>
> Building relationships with school administration and creating a support group of like-minded professionals will go a long way in improving the overall quality of special needs transportation.

### [How to Choose the Right Digital Video Recorder (DVR) for Your Bus Video Surveillance System](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-to-choose-the-right-digital-video-recorder-dvr-for-your-bus-video-surveillance-system/)
**Published:** May 28, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
We’re often asked for our advice on how to choose the best digital video recorder for mobile video surveillance applications. With multiple bus capacities and layouts and video coverage requirements, it can be a tricky exercise. To help you make the right choice, we’ve put together a simple guide to choosing the right system:
1. ### Assess your video surveillance needs.
Consider what areas of the bus you need to see, both now and in the future. Depending on your budget you may need to purchase equipment in phases. Weigh your security issues and prioritize the areas where you want coverage in the short, medium, and long term. The following questions will help you clarify the details:
- How many video cameras are needed to provide the desired video coverage?
- How many days of storage do you need before downloading?
- How do you want to retrieve video from the DVRs? Do you need remote monitoring capabilities for DVR health and wireless access to download video and metadata such as GPS coordinates? Or, is it adequate to remove a hard drive from each bus that is involved in an incident?
2. ### Choose a DVR with enough video channels to support future needs.
The number of video channels that the DVR supports limits the number of cameras that can be connected. So, when selecting a recorder, consider how many camera angles you need in the future as well as the type and size of the vehicle. Also consider whether you need coverage around the bus as well as inside.
Once your number of camera angles exceeds the DVR’s video channel capacity, you cannot just add another recorder. Typically, installation space is at a premium and there may not be space to install another DVR. Also when viewing recorded video, multi-screen views are best displayed when all video channels are connected to a single recorder. If you intend to place multiple video cameras inside and outside the bus, you will need a DVR with enough channels to support current and future needs. For example, Seon DVRs are available with 2,4,5,8, and 13 video channels.
3. ### Make sure your DVR has enough storage capacity.
Video file sizes can vary widely based on the record settings programmed into the DVR and the amount of activity in the scene.
First, you need to determine the number of days that you want saved on the DVR hard drive before the DVR records over the oldest video. A default configuration for recorders is to record the newest video over the oldest video. Therefore, once the hard drive fills up, the DVR continues to record erasing old recordings.
A rule of thumb to select hard drive size is one hour per channel per gigabyte (GB) if using standard analog cameras. So, if you are using a 4-channel DVR, then you will fill the hard drive at a rate of 4 GB per hour. If the bus is being operated 8 hours per day, then a 32 GB hard drive capacity is required per day.
Assuming a 5-day work week and 4 weeks per month, then 640 GB capacity is required. In this case it would be common to select a DVR that supports a 1TB hard drive.
You can also increase your storage capacity by adjusting the frame rate, alarm recording, resolution, and picture quality (compression) settings. At Seon, our technical service personnel help you find the best adjustments to suit your needs.
4. ### Decide what vehicle data needs to be recorded.
Your video recording can be synchronized with specific vehicle telemetry data, such as brake signal, left/right turn signals, warning lights, inertia sensor, stop-arm deployment, and GPS co-ordinates so you can retrieve key details about an accident or other events on the route. This information can be extremely valuable when analyzing emergency situations or investigating accidents. To record telemetry data the DVR must be designed with a sufficient number of signal inputs that can be connected to specific points in the vehicle.
All Seon Explorer and Trooper DVRs provide telemetry interface options with multiple signal inputs that can be selected based on transportation needs. Seon video playback software enables the viewer to watch the signal information alongside the video.
5. ### Select the best way to access the recorded information.
Depending on your fleet size or number of bus depots it may be best to deploy a wireless system for a fast and easy access to video and fleet data once the buses return to the yard. With scheduled and automated downloads from the buses via Wi-Fi, a transportation department can save a lot of time and labor resources and quickly justify the investment. This system eliminates the need to go out to each bus to manually pull the hard drives to obtain video evidence.
This was key in saving time for one of Seon’s clients, Stockton Unified School District. **Carlos Chicas**, the District’s former Transportation Director, said, “We have a large fleet and are too busy to check each bus, one at a time, to see if the camera systems are working. It was difficult to check the footage and pull the hard drives because it was not worth the time that it took to do so. Wireless eliminated this problem.”
***These five steps will help you select the right DVRs for your transportation needs.***

### [Planning for Stop Arm Camera Success](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/planning-for-stop-arm-camera-success/)
**Published:** March 29, 2017
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Seon has been providing mobile surveillance systems and fleet management solutions to school districts across North America for almost two decades, and over the years our customers have cited that camera system reliability and image quality are the key factors they continue choosing Seon solutions over any other vendor. These two factors are gaining in popularity with stop arm camera implementations. Districts are relying on the camera image quality and DVR reliability to capture stop-arm violators in action. If a DVR fails to record a stop-arm incident, no evidence of the violation will be available to identify the vehicle and notify the driver of their error, allowing this behavior to continue and risking the lives of students in the future. But another important factor is the ability to provide admissible video evidence. Key to this is credibility and authentication. You need to be able to prove that the evidence was collected and delivered without tampering.
In this article, we’ll share a few strategies to ensure you get on the right path to delivering clear, credible and most importantly admissible video evidence.
1. ### Choose a vendor with a track record for reliability
Ensuring your stop-arm supplier has a track record of reliability is an essential step in choosing the right stop-arm solution. With over 250,000 systems sold across North America, Seon’s systems have proven to be reliable, one customer citing less than a .01% failure rate in his fleet. This low failure rate is a result of careful design and expertise of engineers who architect our products to withstand the rigors of the road.
One example of this is how the DVR is designed to withstand high vibration levels so that high-capacity hard disk drives (HDDs) can be used for reliable recording. The use of hard drives vs. SD memory cards helps increase the capacity and lifespan of your recording medium, ensuring you always capture what is most important.
**Dale Dunham**, Assistant Transportation Director at Centralia School District #401, Washington, has Seon camera systems on his school buses. He claims that there have been no problems in any loss of footage. Mr. Dunham states, “Our Seon hard drives work superbly. There have been no issues at all, and they are easy to use — you plug them in, usage is simple, and point blank, they work. I have absolutely no complaints with our hard drives, and it is great to be able to rely on Seon’s DVR systems.”
2. ### Verify stop-arm violation image quality
A critical next step in choosing the right stop-arm solution is verifying the quality of the cameras used to capture license plates of stop-arm violators. “There are really two key factors in consistently and accurately capturing the license plates of vehicles illegally passing a school bus — camera position and image quality,” says Lori Jetha, Marketing Manager at Seon. “Even if you install the cameras in the right position, the camera must be designed to provide high-resolution images, clear enough to capture the license plates of vehicles passing at potentially high speeds.”
Not just any camera can be mounted outdoors to capture details like a license plate number. It must be an outdoor-rated camera, built to stand up to extreme humidity or the pressure of a bus wash. At least two external cameras with high resolution, one mounted near roof level facing forward and one facing back below the stop arm, will capture incidents in both directions. At least an 8 mm lens is recommended to capture license plate numbers. High-definition cameras are ideal for zooming in on license plates to identify violators.
3. ### Collecting & Preserving Admissible Video Evidence
To improve your chances of successful stop-arm violation prosecution, there are some basic rules to follow when producing video evidence admissible in court. First, there is the principle of preservation, or how you keep and maintain your video evidence. You need to ensure that the video chain of custody is not broken and there is no opportunity to tamper with the video. Part of preservation is ensuring video is securely stored and only accessed by authorized personnel. We suggest that you develop a video surveillance policy that is publicly posted that specifies the ‘who, what, when, where and how’ of your video collection and storage procedures. This policy can be referenced in court top prove your evidence has been properly preserved.
Another key factor in ensuring admissible evidence is your ability to authenticate your video evidence. In other words, how can you prove it has not been altered or modified and that it is a true and accurate presentation of the events as they happened. To ensure video authenticity look for a video vendor that can deliver key features that will allow you to authenticate the evidence.
Some features you might want to add to the ‘must have’ list are video that is integrated with GPS coordinates, has date/time stamp, and uses a proprietary video format only accessible with password by authorized users. One additional feature is an ‘anti-tampering’ data check on each video file that verifies it has not been altered once collected. Seon’s video playback software offers a data validation feature that identifies when a file has changed in any way.
4. ### Check State Laws
Consider also whether your state has legislation that allows for automated cameras or video recording systems to detect and prosecute individuals illegally passing school buses. If state or local laws do not allow for the use of automated cameras on school buses, there may be an issue using the video evidence in court.
Also, understand any particular requirements in delivering stop-arm camera evidence. For example, in North Carolina, stop-arm evidence must include a camera view that identifies the driver of the vehicle. Failure to produce this could lead to your evidence being thrown out of court. This is an important feature and may require an additional camera view.
With Seon, adding the capability to capture stop-arm violations can be as simple and cost effective as adding exterior cameras to your existing system. Investing in your own stop-arm solution ensures you get complete coverage of your entire fleet and you maintain the chain of custody for your video footage.
Choosing the right stop-arm solution can be tricky if not done right from the start. We hope these handy tips will set you on the right path to student safety.

### [The Key to Video Surveillance Implementation Success](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-key-to-video-surveillance-implementation-success/)
**Published:** October 14, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Video surveillance technology can be an important tool to address security and liability issues on public transit, but an equipment purchase alone is not enough to ensure success. Once a transit agency has calculated the ROI of their surveillance upgrade and secured funding, the real work begins. We’ll use a real-life customer scenario in the state of North Carolina to illustrate some key factors that contribute to a successful video system implementation.
### Establish Clear Objectives
Having clear goals and objectives is the first step in any technology implementation project, and it is no different for video security upgrades. Start with a project charter that specifies what problems the technology will address, and quantifies the expected improvements and the time-frame those improvements are expected. This will both keep the project on track and in scope, and can be used to assess your success post-implementation.
For the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the goal was to equip 1500 para-transit and demand response vehicles in 83 counties with video surveillance technology from a single supplier within a 12 month period. The key objectives for the technology were: reducing accident re-construction costs, improving driver behavior, and streamlining the incident investigation process.
### Build the Right Team
Assembling the right team, and ensuring that all key stakeholders and influencers are consulted, is another key element. NCDOT used a multi-pronged approach. First, they secured key executive sponsorship for the project, to display a top-level show of support and demonstrate the project’s top priority. Second, they consulted every key stakeholder that would either be involved in the implementation, or would be impacted by the new technology on an on-going basis, to ensure they were committed to its success. Finally, they chose tech-savvy people to add to the project team that understood the technology and its benefits, to drive the project forward.
### Do Your Research
Once the project team is in place, do your research so that you select a technology and a vendor that will support your objectives. Technology should suit your current needs, plus accommodate any future requirements or initiatives, without a full-scale replacement.
Choosing the right vendor is critical. Consider not just price and functionality, but experience with projects of similar size and scope, reputation for reliability and support, and overall responsiveness. NCDOT did extensive research on their technology options, discussed their needs with multiple vendors, and then tested five short-listed vendors to ensure their systems met claims of reliability, ease-of-use, and functionality.
### Plan for Success
Have a detailed plan, not only for implementation, but also for post-installation and on-going maintenance. Assign roles to responsible teams. Develop a technology refresh program, to make sure the equipment is replaced in a timely fashion. Also consider the following:
- How will you retrieve video recorded on the bus, and then ensure the chain of custody for that footage?
- What is the process required to request video footage?
- How will you restrict access to video and ensure driver and passenger privacy.
Put all of these decisions into a formal video surveillance policy, vet it with your legal team and publish it. NCDOT researched and created a template document that made it easy for all participating transit agencies to modify and adopt.
### Spread the Word
Once your new surveillance system is installed, it is important to let drivers, passengers, and the general public know about your security upgrade. Show drivers how the new technology can protect them, and how they can use the presence of that technology to diffuse conflict. Make sure that you address any concerns with the driver’s union up front and secure their help in making drivers comfortable with the change. For NCDOT, it was important for drivers to see how the camera footage could help them improve their customer service levels, and prevent or address on-board incidents.
Consider a public awareness campaign to make the travelling public aware of the change in security. This can be as simple as posting a notice at the entry of the bus, or as sophisticated as a multi-media campaign to inform customers of the added protection measures. Studies have shown that public awareness that the cameras exist can actually reduce the number of incidents that occur.
### Measure Your Success
After your security upgrade is complete, don’t forget to look back at your initial objectives to ensure you’ve attained the goals of the project. If there are shortfalls, determine why and develop a plan to address them. By following the key success factors above, NCDOT was able to get 95% adoption of the technology in just over twelve months, prove 75% of injury claims were false, and reduce insurance costs and payouts. In addition, video proved to be a great tool for driver coaching and helped reduce accident investigation times significantly.

### [The Importance of a Proactive Approach to Transit Safety](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-importance-of-a-proactive-approach-to-transit-safety/)
**Published:** May 6, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
*Originally published in BusRide Magazine*
A transit operator once told me: “When people board our buses they come with different expectations for the quality of our service, but everyone expects their ride to be safe.” So how do agencies make sure they are delivering on that most basic of expectations? The answer: a proactive approach to transit safety.
### Anticipate, assess, and prioritize
Being proactive means first dedicating the time and resources to anticipate common safety issues and to accurately assess needs and risks. Although this may seem time-consuming, a little up-front planning can identify areas of concern and help minimize, or even avoid, future risk. On the flip side, being reactive and waiting for an incident to occur may mean that agencies don’t actually have the tools or resources to efficiently resolve or address it. This can lead to longer resolution times, customer and employee dissatisfaction, and greater long-term costs.
Make a list of all foreseeable safety risks and then determine their frequency and cost to the organization. Costs might include labor involved in investigating an issue, repair costs, legal costs or lost work hours. This will help an agency assign a relative priority to determine where to focus its efforts. Agencies may list vandalism, on-board crime and operator assaults as top issues, but the frequency of operator attacks may have risen recently and resulted in union grievances, lawsuits and lost work hours. The increase in frequency and cost makes it the highest priority.
### The recipe for a proactive approach to transit safety
The perfect recipe for a proactive approach to transit safety requires three essential ingredients: policies, education and technology. Blended together, they result in a comprehensive security plan. It’s essential to not miss any key ingredient for the best possible result.
Agencies may not always be able to prevent security situations, but by preparing for these issues in advance (using these three key ingredients), they can respond to them more quickly and avoid a prolonged and expensive investigation.
### Developing the right policies
Policies might include a code of conduct to address safety issues and guide passenger-driver interactions, or a fare collection policy that minimizes the risk of operator assault. Doug Mosher, Halifax Metro’s manager of transit security, recommends operators act as Fare Informers, instead of Fare Enforcers, as a way to ensure that conflicts over fare payment don’t lead to operator assaults.
### Training staff
Operator training is important in the prevention of operator assaults. [Conflict resolution and de-escalation techniques](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-bus-operator-toolbox-conflict-resolution-and-communication-strategies-that-can-save-lives-part-2/) can be especially useful to defuse emotionally charged situations so that assaults are prevented. Bill Parsons, personal safety expert at Roadworthy Communications, recommends a comprehensive communication, safety and customer service program rolled into one. This type of program gives operators an effective set of tools to mitigate and manage conflict by influencing the decisions that riders make in subtle but noticeable ways.
### Using technology
Technology also plays an important part in preventing, responding to, and investigating operator assaults. Having operators point to the surveillance cameras and remind unruly passengers that they are being recorded, can actually help prevent an operator attack. When an assault is happening, a driver-triggered panic alarm in conjunction with live vehicle tracking can alert security staff, help them quickly locate the vehicle, and dispatch emergency services and engage law enforcement. Security staff can even tap into installed bus cameras to monitor the situation using live video streaming.
By proactively installing the right on-board technologies, agencies can also significantly reduce the cost of assault investigations by reducing the labor involved in the investigation and mitigating any legal repercussions. Recorded video of an assault can provide clear, indisputable evidence of the events leading up to the attack and can help apprehend and prosecute the perpetrator.
Operator assault is just one important transit safety issue that can be addressed with a proactive approach. Take a moment to consider your pressing safety issues, whether you are being proactive or reactive, and what blend of policy, education and technology will ensure you meet customer expectations.

### [The Bus Operator Toolbox: Conflict Resolution and Communication Strategies That Can Save Lives (Part 2)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-bus-operator-toolbox-conflict-resolution-and-communication-strategies-that-can-save-lives-part-2/)
**Published:** January 8, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
*Today we are glad to present the second part of our interview with **Bill** ***Parsons**, a recognized expert and trainer in personal safety,* who shares the best strategies and techniques for prevention of on-board assaults.*
### How can you assess when the conflict can be prevented and when it’s too late? When the situation gets physical?
During the training, we discuss the cues that indicate an assault is imminent and that the operator should prepare to defend themselves. These behaviors are:
- 1000 yard stare
- Muscle rigidity
- Body Blade
- Conspicuous ignoring and more
In addition, we talk about controlling the reactionary gap and relative positioning so the operator maintains control of the arc of movement. The driver is also taught to use the surveillance systems on their bus to maximum advantage for both their personal safety and affirmative defense of their actions and the organization.
### What self-defence techniques and practical tips would you like to share with our readers, and bus operators?
The best advice is to use their fear management skills to:
- Remain calm
- Be observant and see what is really unfolding: if this situation is escalating or de-escalating and what can be said or done to de-escalate it
- Choose words carefully
- Act nice and think tough
- Always maintain a good reactionary gap
- Stop the bus and open the doors so the violator can exit and not say he was trapped
- Present them with options, like “You are free to get off the bus, if you want me to call a supervisor I can do that”
- Ask for compliance, do not demand it: “Could you do me a favor”
- Keep your hands up and open as you communicate
- Slow down the situation
### Can you give us an example of a successful de-escalation of a conflict on a bus?
A situation erupted on a bus just a few months after I had trained the operator. An intoxicated and belligerent individual got on the bus late at night and began calling the operator racial epithets. The driver later told me he remembered the tools we had talked about for controlling ego and emotional response to situations and used those techniques instead of blowing up and exacerbating the situation. He calmly looked back at the passenger, who was continuing his verbal barrage, and said,
“If you will do me a favor and take a seat, I will make sure you have a pleasant ride and get home safely.”
The rider said, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”
The driver responded, “I heard you sir, but I am choosing to do the best job I can for you.”
A few days later the man got back on the bus and apologized to the operator for his intoxicated behavior.
The driver realized the encounter was verbal and not physical and that it was an attempt to get him to respond in a less than professional manner thus escalating the conflict and possibly turning it violent. In addition, other passengers rallied to the operator’s defense and told the drunken man to sit down and let the driver do his job.
### Well, I think it’s a great example of how a good transit safety course and training can help save the lives and health of bus drivers. If we look from transit agencies’ perspective, what can an organization gain from introducing their operators to tactical communications and self-defence techniques?
This type of training helps to improve communications internally, reduce sick day usage, and increase public perception of the organization and customer satisfaction. The benefits even spread into the personal lives of operators as they carry these new skills into their personal relationships thus improving them as well.
The benefits of the operators and the organization communicating more clearly, effectively, and congruently both internally and externally cannot be overstated, and the customers benefit by getting a more pleasant and safe ride.
Operating a bus is much more complicated than just getting from point A to point B, it is a complex and demanding job that requires the operator to possess an entire toolbox of techniques and skills to handle the many challenges they face every day. That’s why possessing conflict resolution and assault prevention skills are a necessity. In the long run, everyone wins from it: communication between operators and their management improves, and the customers get a more pleasant and safe ride.

### [The Bus Operator Toolbox: Conflict Resolution and Communication Strategies That Can Save Lives (Part 1)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-bus-operator-toolbox-conflict-resolution-and-communication-strategies-that-can-save-lives/)
**Published:** January 6, 2015
**Author:** cmorris

*When we launched our Stop Violence Against Drivers campaign, many customers mentioned the importance of good bus driver training to help prevent on-board assaults.*
*Today we have a very special guest on our blog – Bill Parsons, a recognized expert and trainer in personal safety, self-defense, and tactical communication, as well as the founder of the training company Roadworthy Communication. Bill is a former Dayton Police Officer who has survived dozens of high-risk encounters over his 26-year service career. As a Certified Personal Protection Specialist, he protected former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, and other high profile corporate executives and VIPs. In the interview with Seon, Bill talks about challenges in bus driver training and shares the best de-escalation techniques for prevention of on-board assaults.*
### Bill, you have been coaching and training transit operators for over 20 years. What is, in your opinion, the biggest challenge for your clients when it comes to bus driver training? What do you focus on when coaching transit operators?
Let me begin by saying that most of the transit operators I have trained over the years have been very open to the training, because they know the tools and techniques in my program are street-tested, designed to increase their personal safety, practical, and work in real life.
With that said, I think that getting the drivers to understand what they do is important work that impacts people’s lives and the way they communicate with their passengers has a huge impact on not only their personal safety, but job satisfaction, customer service, and organizational perception.
So I focus on getting the operators to see that they have the power to choose their mindset and attitude towards service to others, and that this choice impacts how they are perceived and treated. The decisions they make either enhance or lessen their ability to communicate in a powerful and effective way.
### In Roadworthy Communication courses, you emphasize the importance of conflict avoidance. Can you share some insight and strategies for assault prevention that can be implemented by our readers?
The Road Worthy Communication Program is designed to be a comprehensive communication, safety, and customer service program all rolled into one. These three areas dovetail together very effectively, particularly for transit employees who deal with a very diverse customer base and face unique challenges every day. The Program gives the operator an effective set of tools to mitigate conflict and manage it when it arises by influencing the decisions that riders make in very subtle but noticeable ways.
The training is based on the Pareto 80/20 principle that governs our lives. 80 to 90% of the people on the bus are the same people operators deal with every day. By building rapport with this 80%, bus drivers will have overall passenger support when they need it.
So I teach the operators a series of communication strategies. One of them is **The Similarity Accelerator** which shows them how to seek, spot, and accent similarities to build rapport and trust with the customer (usually, a passenger). Another good strategy is **The Noticing Game** - learning to focus on others, not yourself, and spotting what is important to them. By using these two techniques the operator builds a foundation of trust and support with riders.
The increased awareness which these strategies foster is a key to personal safety, allowing the operator to have good situational awareness and be in mindset “Code Yellow”: alert for a non-specific threat, thus giving them valuable time to spot potential risk and avoid it, or formulate options for effectively dealing with it.
### Speaking about potential risk, it brings up the question of driver motivation and fear. What can be done to help operators overcome psychological barriers and use the techniques that they learned?
The techniques and tools I teach are as I like to say “street-tested”: after twenty-six years of using them day in and day out on the street as an inner city metropolitan police officer I selected only those that were tested and worked in actual critical incidents. I have also taught these strategies to thousands of police officers, correction officers, private security professionals, EMS personnel, and transit professionals, and the feedback I got also helped to select the best tools for training.
The operators clearly see the parallel between what I did as a police officer and what they do every day. They deal with the same risky people I did - individuals who are intoxicated, high, dealing with mental issues, or just plain criminal elements. Through sharing real life stories and encounters, they quickly see how these tools will work for them.
I have hundreds of occasions where operators will say “I wish I would have known this a few months ago” or directly relate how they inadvertently stumbled onto and used a technique I have just taught them to save the day. In addition, we discuss how fear affects the body and mind and how to manage it effectively using the following techniques:
- 4x4 breathing
- Combat Communication
- Survival why & survival switch
- Combat Focus
- Imagery
### Can you share with us some examples when your clients successfully implemented conflict prevention strategies and avoided assaults on the bus?
I had an operator use a technique I teach on breaking and interrupting patterns one day when two belligerent young men got on his bus playing their radio too loudly. Now you have to get a clear mental picture of this operator who is an elderly gentleman about 5’6” tall and a little on the pudgy side with a ring of white hair atop his head and a white walrus-like mustache. As the two riders stepped on to the bus he said, “If you guys don’t turn that music down, I am gonna have to start break dancing.” They immediately stopped, looked at him in a startled way, laughed and said, “Man your crazy”, but they turned down the music as a result of that exchange. Now he has lasting rapport with two former troublemakers who since then have aided him in dealing with other disorderly passengers.

### [5 Great Ways to Protect Bus Operators from Assaults](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-great-ways-to-protect-bus-operators-from-assaults/)
**Published:** November 4, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
With the increased number of crimes on transit vehicles, protection of bus operators from violence has become one of the top priorities for transit agencies. Assaults cause physical injuries and an increased level of stress for the driver, as well as have a financial impact on the transit system in terms of lost work hours, medical claims, employee absenteeism, and lawsuits. Although the list below is not exhaustive, it presents some of the most efficient strategies to prevent or stop volatile situations on board. And though some of the solutions require an up-front investment, the return on them might greatly surpass the expenditures.
1. ### Video and Audio Surveillance
Statistics show that the installation of video and audio surveillance equipment on buses is considered to be the most effective measure in the prevention of operator assaults. By choosing cameras with high image quality, and placing them strategically around the bus, transit authorities can capture everything that happens on the route. Newer digital video recorders (DVRs) with sufficient recording capacity can capture several weeks’ worth of bus activities and offer simplified tracking, viewing, and video archiving capabilities. The most advanced equipment also allows remote access to the camera system to stream live video. This technology can help prevent a volatile situation from happening or can alert law enforcement of a problem and dispatch help to the vehicle in case of an incident.
As Halifax Transit Security Manager Doug Mosher notes, “Bus cameras provide added safety for drivers and passengers; the systems are a huge deterrent for criminal activity on buses”. Sometimes even seeing a camera can stop an attack.
In addition, video monitoring helps in the investigation of violent events on the bus. For example in 2013, three young passengers started a verbal dispute which turned into a physical fight with shooting on a Metro Transit bus in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. The vehicle was equipped with cameras and as police representatives noted, “the video on the bus was instrumental in allowing us to identify who these persons were and arresting them as quickly as we could.” ([Read more about the accident](http://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/teens-arrested-after-shot-fired-on-metro-transit-bus-1.1148508#ixzz3HekB7rmH "Accident on a Bus in Darmouth, Nova Scotia"))
2. ### Installation of Barriers
Attacks on drivers often begin with confrontations over the non-payment of a transit fare. Barriers partially shield the operator from passengers and serve as an immediate protection in case of attack. This type of shielding is widely used in European countries and it’s gaining more and more popularity in the US and Canada. For example, TransLink is undertaking a pilot project in Metro Vancouver to install bus driver barrier shields on a number of bus vehicles towards the end of this year.
3. ### Provision of Self-defence Tools
In some cases drivers might need special tools for an immediate defence from a sudden assault. Depending on the legislation in a certain area, bus operators, especially those working late hours or in problem neighbourhoods, might be allowed to have pepper sprays or pepper gels on-board. In Canada these tools are classified as a prohibited weapon, but in certain states in the United States they might be provided after a specific training. It’s also recommended to have cameras on board to prove the necessity of pepper spray usage.
Another efficient tool is having an emergency alarm button on board that allows the driver to call for assistance. This feature can be integrated with the mobile surveillance system to simplify the retrieval of the recording and to identify the exact location of the incident.
4. ### Self-Defence Training
Transit drivers will feel safer at work if they learn different techniques to defend themselves in case of an attack. It should be mentioned though, that such training can subject the agency to civil or criminal liability, so it is important to have a trainer with a law enforcement background (for example, a police officer). The defense is based on a few principles:
1\) The operator is usually in the seated position and the assailant can only reach him from one side;
2\) From such a specific angle it’s harder to knock the operator who also has emergency alarm tools.
Such training can include a practical course, video and audio materials, handouts, quizzes, and tests.
5. ### Customer Service Training
Very often a conflict on board might be avoided if the driver knows how to recognize the signs of an assault or a volatile situation and makes an effort to prevent it. Sometimes just maintaining a professional demeanor and staying calm is sufficient enough for stopping a hostile customer, in other cases it’s better to use some special techniques to defuse a potential assault. A comprehensive training program may include instructions and videos, discussions of various dangerous scenarios and courses of actions to be taken, provision of handbooks and bus rules of conduct, specific communication techniques, and other methods.

### [Stop-arm Camera Enforcement Program Success Stories (Part 4)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/stop-arm-camera-enforcement-program-success-stories-part-4/)
**Published:** May 6, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
In Part 4 of our stop-arm camera customer success stories we talk with Tom Oestreich, Transportation Director at Bloomington School District in Minnesota, about his stop-arm camera ‘sting’ operation.
***Part 4: Minnesota School District Works with Law Enforcement to Mount Stop-arm ‘Sting’ Operation***
Tom ‘Ace’ Oestreich **Transportation Director | Bloomington School District** Bloomington, MN
More than a year ago, Tom ‘Ace’ Oestreich, Transportation Director at Bloomington School District, decided to start his stop-arm enforcement program by installing the Seon CA Wedge stop-arm camera on one of their buses.
To raise awareness about the program, and the importance of the initiative, he worked with the Bloomington Police Department to set up a kind of ‘sting’ operation to catch stop-arm violators in action. For one day, during the AM and PM bus runs, police officers were set up at key bus stops to pull over any drivers as soon as they passed a school bus while the stop-arm was deployed.
Bloomington’s efforts drew the attention of the local media and this coordinated approach helped to educate offenders (and potential future offenders) on stop-arm laws and created public awareness for the program.
“Stop-arm cameras are a cool piece of technology to have,” Oestreich advises. “People forget what the stop arm means and how important it is in keeping students safe.”
Although Oestreich hasn't yet brought the camera footage to court, and isn't actively using the stop-arm cameras to issue tickets on a daily basis, he had this to say about the Seon stop-arm camera: “The resolution is fantastic, it’s just great! You can definitely, clearly see the license plate numbers of cars passing the bus. Seon has been an excellent partner in making sure that students are safe.”

### [Live GPS Integrated with Mobile Video Cuts Time Spent Addressing Parents’ Concerns](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/live-gps-integrated-with-mobile-video-cuts-time-spent-addressing-parents-concerns/)
**Published:** October 15, 2012
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Worried calls from parents are just one of the many day-to-day challenges facing school transportation officials. In large school districts with multiple schools and hundreds of routes, it can be particularly hard (and time-consuming) to track a missing child who has gotten off at the wrong bus stop. In these cases, live GPS integrated with mobile video technology can be a useful tool in quickly resolving an emotionally charged situation. Here are just 5 ways live GPS fleet tracking technology paired with mobile video can help in addressing parental concerns:
### 1. *It’s 3:00 p.m. Where is my child?* — Know the location of any school bus now
Waste no time tracking a bus in case of emergency. GPS fleet tracking allows administrators to pinpoint the exact location of any bus in the fleet to restore peace of mind — without distracting the driver. Some school districts allow parents to have web-based access to [GPS fleet tracking software](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-management/school-bus-fleet-tracking/live-gps-tracking/) so that they can see exactly where their child’s school bus is right now.
### 2. *Billy told me the bus driver went a different route today. Did he?* — Find out the exact trail that the school bus took that day
Know the history of your school bus routes. Re-create the exact movement of your vehicle at any point in time. See the path it took including direction, maximum speed, stops, and stop-arm signal deployment. Demonstrate to parents that your school bus drivers have taken the correct route and are driving their children to school safely.
### 3. *My child has told me that she is being bullied on the bus. Can you find out for me?* — Ensure passenger and driver safety
Using GPS and mobile video technology together provides a ‘live snapshot’ of what is going on inside the bus and exactly where on the route it is happening. The benefit of video integration with live GPS, in a web-based application like Seon’s vMax® Live Plus, is that you are able to view images of the inside of the bus in real-time. You can see what’s happening on the bus right now, just as if you were in the driver’s seat. Collect critical video evidence of bullying, synchronized with mapping software that you need to resolve issues and give parents greater peace of mind.
### 4. *Johnny said that the bus driver was going so fast that he almost fell out of his seat* — Get live status of any bus in your fleet
When something unexpected happens, you want to know and act quickly — live, real-time information lets you do just that. Ensure passenger and driver safety and get critical insight on what’s going on inside the bus. Monitor bus and driver speed, stops, location and direction, and any alarm activity to ensure good driving habits and address any safety issues immediately.
### 5. *The bus skipped my stop this morning* — Verify a missed stop at the click of a button
Live GPS lets you track immediately where the bus stopped (or didn’t stop) and delivers key details like the address, the time, and the duration of the stop. Having this information at your fingertips can reduce the time to respond to complaints. Many school districts report that they’ve eliminated false reports of missed stops altogether once the parent community is aware they have this technology.
These are just a few ways live GPS integrated with mobile video lets you know what’s happening on your fleet — anytime, anywhere. Don’t let an emotional situation like a missing child escalate; now you can easily obtain the information you need to deliver parents instant peace of mind. With real-time visibility on any school bus, driver, or route, you now have the knowledge that you need to answer almost any question that comes your way regarding your school bus fleet.

### [Get the Most out of your On-board Surveillance Investment: School Bus Camera Maintenance Tips](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/get-the-most-out-of-your-on-board-surveillance-investment-school-bus-camera-maintenance-tips/)
**Published:** October 24, 2012
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
As a school bus camera system supplier, news headlines like this one make us cringe:
What you’ll find when you dig beyond the headlines is usually one of two problems: 1) the customer has bought a poor quality system not built for mobile applications, or 2) it is not necessarily a problem with the camera technology, but a lack of regular maintenance or camera operation.
Starting out with a high-quality mobile security system that can withstand the test of time and the rigors of the road (like those Seon works hard to design, test, and manufacture) is a good first step. You will find that not all manufacturers are created equal when it comes to product development and after-sales service & support. But you also need to protect your camera system investment through scheduled system maintenance at regular intervals throughout the school year.
To prevent your school district from becoming the subject of one of these headlines, we would like to share these six tips to keep your school bus cameras in good working order and protect your investment in student safety.
### 1. Do a visual external check of school bus cameras and installation
Make it a regular practice to walk through the bus and check that each camera dome is free of any smudges and that the camera is pointing in the correct direction. Verify that there are no exposed or frayed wiring. Clear any dust or debris from around the DVR. Although most mobile security systems have anti-tampering features, guilty parties can be very creative thinkers when it comes to obscuring camera views.
### 2. Do a 3-minute system functionality test
Regular tests of system functionality are a must if you want to avoid the difficult situation of explaining to a parent or school principal why the camera system didn’t capture an incident reported on the bus. We recommend this 3-minute test for camera system functionality:
1. Plug in a monitor and mouse to the DVR and turn on the bus to activate recording.
2. While recording, check camera views for required coverage (field-of-view).
3. Trigger any signals that may be wired into the DVR (i.e. Turn signals, brake, stop-arm) to ensure these are connected properly and will be recorded.
4. Check that there is no clicking or audible noise other than the fan.
5. Continue recording for 1 minute and then playback video.
6. Ensure the hard drive is locked into place.
7. Turn off ignition and allow DVR to shut off.
8. Disconnect the monitor and lock the security box.
We recommend doing this camera check at regular bus maintenance intervals or during slow periods such as Christmas, Spring, or Summer breaks. Seon’s service department is always available to help and provides a step-by-step instructional guide to all of our customers.
### 3. Train your drivers on bus camera maintenance
Your drivers are on the bus every day. Train them to do regular checks of the camera system. Before beginning each shift, make sure they check that the diagnostics alarm button light is a solid green. A flashing green light or no light at all, indicates a recording problem that should be reported to their supervisor immediately.
### 4. Consider investing in an automatic DVR Health Check system
In fleets with greater than 50 buses you may want to consider investing in DVR Health Status functionality. One of the features of [video evidence management ](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-software/) lets you track and report on DVR, cameras and hard drive operation, and provides a visual indicator of their status.
### 5. Maintain a master configuration file
You never know which bus is going to have an incident you’ll need to review. Make sure that each of your buses is set-up with the same camera configurations to avoid future surprises. It helps to maintain a master config file that you can use to compare each DVR’s setting to the original configuration.
### 6. Check that hard drives are locked into place
As a part of our initial post-sales training, we encourage our customers to train their drivers and maintenance staff to always check that the hard drive is locked into place before operating the bus. If this step is overlooked, the system will not record and you will miss out on critical video evidence. To avoid the chance of this happening, you might also want to look into [wireless technology](https://www.safefleet.net/products/safe-fleet-wireless-connectivity/wireless-video-downloading/) that automatically downloads video when the bus returns to the yard. This eliminates the human error factor and can save future headaches and labor costs.
Staff education, camera system monitoring technology, and regular scheduled camera maintenance intervals are just a few ways to ensure that your camera investment is working for you. Camera maintenance can help you avoid that uncomfortable conversation on why you did not capture that bullying incident or vehicle accident.

### [6 Additional Ways to Reduce the Threat of Injury on (and off) the School Bus](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/6-additional-ways-to-reduce-the-threat-of-injury-on-and-off-the-school-bus/)
**Published:** December 13, 2012
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
We know that having cameras on the school bus to record stop-arm violations is an excellent way to address the problem, as we explained in our post, "What to Consider When Choosing Stop-arm Cameras." But, there are some additional strategies that can help reduce the threat of injury:
### 1. Reposition School Bus Stops
Locate bus stops in safe areas with no blind curves, high-speed zones, or treed areas. Moving a bus stop to a quieter side street also reduces the potential for injury.
### 2. Clearly Marked Bus Stops
Work with your local or state authorities to install more signs warning drivers that there is a school bus stop ahead. Most motorists do not intentionally pass a school bus. More signage can give advanced warning to capture the attention of distracted drivers.
### 3. Driver Training
Reinforce policies on the safe deployment of stop-arms through regular driver training and spot checks. Ensuring that drivers are following the correct procedures (i.e. yellow hazards as the bus slows, red hazards 200 feet prior to the bus stop, full stop prior to extending the stop-arm) will help improve safety and reduce motorist’s complaints.
### 4. Crossing Guard Policy
Some school districts have introduced policies that require drivers to escort students across busy roads, or have a crossing guard program for bus stops in busy areas, multi-lane roads, or hazardous intersections.
### 5. Partner with Local Law Enforcement
Coordinate with your local law enforcement agencies to conduct a stop-arm violation blitz. Cameras and signage on the bus may not be enough to deter stop-arm violators. The presence of law enforcement vehicles issuing tickets or warnings to motorists can serve as a wake-up call to distracted drivers.
### 6. Community Awareness
Work with national and state organizations like Operation Stop Arm3 to create awareness within the community. Many motorists may not be familiar with the laws, or need a reminder of the implications of illegally passing a school bus.

### [Case Study: Camera Systems Deliver Significant ROI for Transit Agencies](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/case-study-camera-systems-deliver-significant-roi-for-transit-agencies/)
**Published:** January 23, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Transit Security Manager of Halifax Metro Transit, Doug Mosher, participated in a case study on the ROI of [camera systems for transit](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/). He categorized mobile surveillance for his entire fleet as a must-have for keeping transit drivers and passengers safe.
Mosher explains bus camera systems to be an absolute ROI with incredible savings on time, labor, and effective mitigation of fraudulent claims. “The time saved in administrative and investigative requirements, as well as the ability to moderate potential litigation costs, have had a positive impact on fiscal accountability in Halifax... Our Risk Management team says that any public transit fleet that does not have a camera system in its buses is at an automatic disadvantage,” he says. In the case study, Mosher describes the key benefits of having video surveillance on-board, which include:
- Efficient identification of what happens in transit
- Mitigation of incidents and accidents (prevention of potential litigation)
- ROI: in 1.5 years the mobile surveillance solution paid for itself (estimated 2 million dollars)
- Crimes down significantly since cameras installed
Mosher sums it up by saying, “We want our city to be a safe place to live, work, and play. The more we do to provide a safe transit service in our community will help us achieve that goal — And bus camera systems help us do it.”

### [5 Ways Mobile Surveillance Systems Can Improve Passenger Safety](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/mobile_surveillance_passenger_safet/)
**Published:** September 17, 2012
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Mobile surveillance systems can be an important safety tool for school bus operators, offering the peace-of-mind that you are protecting your passengers and drivers from unacceptable behaviour, and ensuring that they arrive safely at their destination. Seon understands the importance of our mobile surveillance solutions, as approximately 25 million students are transported each day to school in the United States alone.\* Here are just five ways that mobile surveillance systems can help improve passenger safety:
1. ### Prevent and Verify Bullying
Bullying is a big problem. The National Education Association reports that students who are bullied may fear going to school, using the bathroom, and riding on the school bus.\*\* Mobile surveillance systems promote a safe environment on the school bus for both students and employees by discouraging bullying and ensuring that each child has a safe ride home. Cameras can be installed inside of your bus and set up to view exactly what you want to see. Not only can cameras provide clear evidence of any bullying that happens on your school bus, but simply having cameras installed shows kids that they are being watched and this can stop bullying from starting in the first place.
2. ### Reinforce Good Driver Behavior
In order for children to remain safe on the school bus, and arrive home securely, proper training and good driver behaviour is necessary. The footage from our school bus cameras can be used to train drivers in real-life scenarios. It gives them useful examples to learn from, and provides specific driver situations to avoid. In addition, if it is a concern of yours, a camera can be placed overhead of the driver’s seat in order to avoid the driver using a handheld device while operating the school bus.
3. ### Reconstruct Accidents
The reality is that sometimes road accidents happen. Mobile surveillance solutions give you the security of knowing what really went on at the scene. Cameras can be mounted on the dashboard to document the chain of events happening in front of the school bus. Video viewing software, like Seon’s vMax® software, lets you retrieve video from an alarmed event, and monitor your system to make sure that all events are captured. This ensures that the same mistakes are not made in the future to offer maximum safety for passengers and drivers.
4. ### Catch Stop-arm Violators
Many communities are concerned about school bus stop-arm violators. This is a problem for children that need to cross the street safely to go home. Stop-arm cameras, like Seon’s CHW high-definition camera, are designed to deliver the clearest possible picture of passing vehicle license plates to help catch stop-arm violators and keep kids safe.
5. ### Protect the Privacy of Innocent Passengers
Passenger privacy is an important consideration when using a mobile surveillance system. Now you can easily blur the faces of anyone on the video with our new SmartBlur™ feature. “SmartBlur is unique because the feature is applied to the entire video clip as opposed to a single still image,” says Peter Simmons, Director of Marketing at Seon Design. “This feature allows video archives to be sent to other personnel knowing that the privacy of innocent bystanders will be fully protected.”
Passenger safety, accident management, and risk reduction are challenges that school bus transportation administrators face on a day-to-day basis. Mobile surveillance systems can be a useful tool to help administrators face these issues and know that their passengers and drivers are protected.

### [Stop-arm Camera Enforcement Program Success Stories (Part 1)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/stop-arm-camera-enforcement-program-success-stories-part-1/)
**Published:** April 8, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Stop-arm violations continue to be a problem. Some school districts venture to say that vehicles that are illegally passing school buses are the #1 threat to student safety. According to the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation (NASDPTS) 2nd annual stop-arm survey in 2013, 88,025 vehicles passed a stopped school bus in a single day. In 2012, 9 students were killed while loading or off-loading from a school bus. Even one fatality per year is too many.
In this series, we will catch up with four school districts across North America that have addressed the problem by implementing a stop-arm violation enforcement program using Seon camera systems. We’ll get their perspective on the effectiveness of stop-arm cameras in reducing the number of violations, and find out what worked for them.
***Part 1: Ft. Payne City Schools Credits Relationship with Law Enforcement for Stop-arm Camera Program Success***
Chris Bible **Shop Foreman | Ft. Payne City Schools** Ft. Payne, AL
Chris Bible at Ft. Payne City Schools is a true innovator. Among Seon’s early customers, the first in the state of Alabama, Chris has depended on Seon school bus cameras to capture what’s happening inside the bus. So it’s not surprising that he was a very early adopter of stop-arm camera technology.
As far back as 2008, Chris started strapping his Seon cameras to the outside of the bus, even before Seon released a purpose-built exterior camera. “I sure kept Seon’s IT folks busy trying to figure out how to seal up an interior camera to deal with the Alabama humidity,” Chris laughs. So when Seon released its first stop-arm camera in 2011, Chris was again one of the first to try it out.
Ft. Payne City Schools now has 12 of its 26 school buses outfitted with stop-arm cameras and credits the success of his stop-arm camera program to a very tight relationship with local law enforcement. “Our bus drivers have become very good at evaluating situations and will call in violations over the 2-way radio,” says Chris. “Local law enforcement has been very helpful, often dispatching an officer immediately to try and catch them while they are still out on the road. Alabama doesn’t have a state law yet around stop-arm cameras, so working with local law enforcement is very important.”
When Ft. Payne City Schools first started using stop-arm cameras they used a coordinated effort with law enforcement and the local paper to create awareness of the problem. “We launched our public relations effort during Bus Safety Week, with an article in the local paper, and through a campaign with local police. We’re a small town, so that helped a lot in getting the word out.”
When asked about whether he thought the stop-arm cameras have helped create awareness and reduced the number of violations, Chris had these parting words:
“Every day a car runs by the stop-arm on one of our buses. The cameras work great and they've helped, but public awareness is most important in solving the problem.”

### [Stop-arm Camera Enforcement Program Success Stories (Part 2)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/stop-arm-camera-enforcement-program-success-stories-part-2/)
**Published:** April 15, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
In Part 2 of our stop-arm camera customer success stories we interviewed a Canadian School District in Wainwright, AB, who began testing Seon’s new stop-arm camera system in January of 2013. Transportation Director Chrysti Mannix gave us some insight on how she used footage from her new stop-arm camera system to convince law enforcement to work together with her on the problem.
***Part 2: Camera Footage Proves Stop-arm Violation Problem to Local Law Enforcement***
Chrysti Mannix **Transportation Director | Buffalo Trails Public Schools** Wainwright, AB CANADA
For one Alberta Transportation Director, Chrysti Mannix of Buffalo Trails Public schools, stop-arm violators have always been a problem. But the severity of the problem in her district came to light last January when a bus driver on one particular route recorded thirteen ‘fly-bys’.
Getting local law enforcement (Wainwright’s RCMP detachment) to recognize and address the problem was also an issue. Documenting license plate numbers was difficult for bus drivers and not always possible. Without verifiable license plate numbers and documented evidence, the RCMP indicated there was little they could do. “The local RCMP basically told me that without a verifiable license plate number, there really was nothing they could do,” Mannix shared.
Mannix reached out to Seon for a solution to the problem using camera technology. Installing one of Seon’s most advanced DVRs and a high-definition 720p stop-arm camera, Mannix was able to capture video footage of three separate stop-arm violation events with clear pictures of the offending vehicles’ license plates. Showing this footage to law enforcement proved to be a turning point, and convinced RCMP there was a real problem. They agreed to work with Buffalo Trails Public School Transportation to combat the stop-arm violation issue by issuing tickets to the registered vehicle owners based on the license plates captured by the Seon stop-arm camera.
Mannix continues to operate the stop-arm camera system and records violations on the same problem route first identified last year. When a violation occurs, the bus driver must submit a detailed report of the event’s particulars, including date, time, and location. School transportation staff members pull video from that timeframe and create a still image of the vehicle’s license plate, and then submit this along with the bus driver’s report to the RCMP for processing and issuing tickets.
When asked about the success of the program in reducing stop-arm violations, Mannix admitted it is still a problem. But she believes the presence of the cameras, coupled with a comprehensive public awareness program, has produced a decline in the number of violations.
As budgets and funding permits Buffalo Trails Public Schools have plans to add stop-arm cameras to additional buses in their fleet.

### [Stop-arm Camera Enforcement Program Success Stories (Part 3)](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/stop-arm-camera-enforcement-program-success-stories-part-3/)
**Published:** April 22, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
In Part 3 of our stop-arm camera customer success stories we go to Medical Lake, WA to find out about how the school district’s transportation department uses stop-arm camera footage and works with law enforcement to ensure prosecution.
***Part 3: School District Works With Law Enforcement to Issue Stop-arm Violation Tickets***
Dan Cools **Transportation Director | Medical Lake SD #326** Medical Lake, WA
Dan Cools, Transportation Director in Medical Lake, WA has seen a lot of success since the installation of his first Seon stop-arm camera system in November of 2012. Medical Lake’s stop-arm cameras were set up to start recording as soon as the stop-arm is deployed.
“Right out of the gate, the video evidence and license plate numbers from two stop-arm passing incidents were turned into local law enforcement and resulted in tickets being issued,” Cools recounted. “The cameras are great at capturing license plate numbers.”
Cools cites a good relationship with local law enforcement as the key to a successful stop-arm camera program. “Our local law enforcement has been really good,” says Cools. “Now that we have been working together for a while, we just pull the footage, and send a still image of the license plate to them via email.”
On average his exterior stop-arm camera continues to capture two stop-arm violators per week. When asked about the impact of ticketing on reducing the number of incidents, Cools had this to say: “Washington law specifically dictates that we can’t record the driver without their permission, so they need to acknowledge they were driving at the time of the incident. The difficult part is getting the drivers to admit that.”

### [6 Proven Steps to a Successful Stop-arm Enforcement Program](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/6-proven-steps-to-a-successful-stop-arm-enforcement-program/)
**Published:** May 14, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
In 2013, twenty-nine participating states reported a whopping 85,279 vehicles illegally passing the school bus in a single day, according to an annual survey organized by the National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPTS).
Many school districts have started investigating stop-arm camera technology to stem this growing problem. But as many districts have discovered, building a successful stop-arm enforcement program isn't as simple as placing a camera on the side of the bus.
Here are a few steps we recommend to jump-start your own stop-arm camera enforcement program:
### Step 1: How big is your problem?
The first step in any successful stop-arm camera solution is exploring how big the problem is in your district. Ask yourself four questions to start off:
1. How many stop-arm violations do my drivers report in a week?
2. Are these reports isolated to a few buses or routes, or is the problem more widespread?
3. Do the violations tend to happen in the AM or PM runs?
4. Do most violations occur from vehicles travelling in the same or opposite direction?
The answers to these questions will allow you to assess the risks involved and provide proof of the problem.
### Step 2: Know your state laws
Many states have passed legislation on the use of stop-arm cameras. If state or local laws do not provide for the use of automated cameras on school buses, then work with local law enforcement to understand their requirements for detecting and citing violations.
### Step 3: Establish a good relationship with law enforcement
Even if your state has legislation that allows stop-arm cameras, establishing a dialog with local law enforcement early on in the process is important — especially if you want to send tickets to offending drivers. Don’t forget to discuss what documentation and type of image or video is necessary for them to review, approve, and issue a ticket for a stop-arm violation.
### Step 4: Choose the right camera system
Once you have law enforcement’s commitment, the next step is selecting the right camera system. Consider your discussion with law enforcement, among other factors.
“There are two key factors in capturing the license plates of vehicles illegally passing a school bus — camera position and image quality,” says Peter Simmons, Director of Marketing at Seon. “Even if you install the cameras in the right position, the camera must be designed to provide high-resolution images, clear enough to capture the license plates of vehicles passing at potentially high speeds.”
### Step 5: Install, test, and consult
Once you have purchased your stop-arm camera systems, work with your supplier to install and position your cameras in the best possible locations. Pull sample video of a mock stop-arm violation and create license plate still images to share with your local law enforcement. Make sure that everything satisfies police requirements. Next, run a pilot project to test the cameras in action. Consult all interested parties in the pilot project including police, school board, parents, even the media. Involving them in the beginning, prior to launch, can eliminate any future problems and speed up your program launch.
### Step 6: Have a plan to raise public awareness
Now that you've installed and tested your cameras, and consulted with all the necessary parties, you should be ready to launch. But creating awareness about your program is just as important as making sure the technology is accurately capturing violations.
Use relationships with the media to inform the public at large about the cameras and existing laws about stopping for school buses. You can also create awareness through posters at the schools or via social media campaigns.
Following these six steps will get you off to the right start with your stop-arm enforcement program, and ensure you remove any potential roadblocks along the way.

### [Calculating the ROI of Transit Security: A Step-by-step Guide](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/calculating-the-roi-of-transit-security-a-step-by-step-guide/)
**Published:** July 10, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Passenger & driver safety and security is at the core of every successful transit system operation. But when it comes time to cough up the money to upgrade camera equipment or add more camera views, it can often be difficult to secure funding. Many transit agencies find the need to justify their camera purchase with the powers that be. What many have found most useful is a return on investment (ROI) calculation that shows exactly what improvements and cost reductions can be achieved through investment in the latest security technology.
To justify your next transit security upgrade, we thought we’d share our step-by-step guide to calculating the ROI of transit surveillance. Here are some of the steps we suggest you take to justify your next bus camera system purchase:
### Step 1: Identify Your Problem Areas
One of the best places to start is by making a list of your problem areas, or in other words the biggest drains on your time and finances. For a lot of agencies this is fraudulent injury or accident claims. For others it might be vandalism such as graffiti or seat destruction, increasing crime rates, or driver assaults. Try to put together as comprehensive a list as possible, it may surprise you how a few small things can add up to make a big impact.
### Step 2: Collect Data
The next step is to take the list you just created and collect the data required to establish your current costs, in order to create a baseline. It holds way more credibility if you use actual data (i.e. number of events or expenses and the average cost based on data from the past 3 years). For example, one transit agency we worked with had a significant amount of fraudulent claims and collected data on the number of claims per month, the average dollars paid out, the number of claims that went to litigation, and the amount of resources required to investigate claims. These numbers formed the basis of their ROI calculation.
Consult your risk management, legal, or human resources departments to collect this data. It helps to calculate the monthly costs in order to establish your payback period. You can be as detailed or as general as your agency allows or time permits.
### Step 3: Set Goals & Objectives
Once you have collected your data, the next step is to set some realistic and feasible goals and outcomes from your purchase. Take the same data that you collected in step two and determine which of these costs can be reduced or eliminated with your camera system purchase.
Some of the most common goals are to reduce the number of fraudulent injury claims, reduce the hours required to investigate claims, reduce vandalism, and reduce absenteeism and medical costs from driver assaults.
From the ROI calculations we have been involved in it is not unexpected to see the number of fraudulent claims reduced by between 30 and 50% and the amount of time required to investigate those claims reduced from several days to under an hour.
### Step 4: Do the Math
Now that you have determined what factors will have an impact on security costs, collected historical data, and made some projections on what costs you can reduce or eliminate, it’s time to do the math.
First, tally up the costs before installing cameras and then subtract your projected costs after the cameras are installed to calculate your savings per month. Then, use the calculation below to determine your payback period:
Based on the calculations we’ve participated in with clients, this payback period typically ranges from 12 to 24 months. The next step is to take those numbers and calculate your ROI over the optimal operating period of a typical camera system, for example 5 years. Here is a sample calculation from one transit agency with 300 buses:
Following these 4 simple steps to calculate the ROI of transit security should help you justify your camera purchase and convince your decision committee that investing in improvements to transit security can actually yield a positive return on investment.

### [8 Telltale Signs You Need to Replace Your School Bus Camera System](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/8-telltale-signs-you-need-to-replace-your-school-bus-camera-system/)
**Published:** July 21, 2014

Cameras have been recording student and driver behavior on school buses for more than a decade, but if you still have some of that older technology on your bus it’s probably time to swap it out.
Anyone in school transportation knows that the school bus is not a friendly place for electronics. With the dust and dirt trucked in by the pitter-patter of 88 pairs of feet every day, twice a day, and the constant vibrations of a moving vehicle (can you say potholes?), even carefully engineered, high-quality mobile surveillance equipment has an optimum lifespan of around five years with proper maintenance.
Not sure if it’s time to upgrade your school bus camera systems? Here are a few telltale signs:
### \#1 - Two words: video cassette
If you have to remove a video cassette tape to view video, it is definitely time to upgrade. Never mind the hours it takes to rewind and fast-forward to find the right spot, the tape that gets stuck, or that annoying video reel sound – who even has a working VCR to view it?
### \#2 - You only have one camera view
Let me bring you in on a little secret. Kids figure out pretty quick where the camera gaps are. School bus camera systems are now capable of up to 13 camera views for a more complete picture of the entire bus. Then you don’t have to keep moving the problem kids to the front seat!
### \#3 - Your camera images are so foggy you need to draw a red circle around the area of interest
Camera lenses and recording resolution has come a long way – even in the last three years. Gone are the days of fuzzy, pixelated video. Today’s school bus camera systems are even capable of HD-quality recording.
### \#4 - Date & time-stamp - what's that?
If you can’t even get a date and time-stamp on your video clips, then you are probably missing out on a whole bunch of other features that come standard with most modern bus video systems. GPS integration is one useful feature that comes to mind that can give your video footage rich context. Same goes for the ability to automatically download video over Wi-Fi and signal integration such as indicator lights, stop-arm, and wheelchair lift deployment.
### \#5 - The warranty period has expired
If the warranty period on your equipment has expired that means if anything breaks, it could cost you more to repair than to replace. And remember, vendors have warranty periods for a reason. The end of the warranty period usually signals the end of the time vendors are confident all components will work properly.
### \#6 - It came 'factory-installed' when the bus was delivered - twelve years ago!
Thanks to school transportation budget cuts, the average lifespan of a school bus has increased from eight to twelve years. Video systems don’t stand the same test of time, even with regular maintenance. As a rule of thumb, if your system is more than seven years old, it’s time to upgrade.
### \#7 - Your video system installation involved duct tape
Of course we're kidding about the duct tape (although I have seen this in real life)! But any poorly installed system won't stand the test of time– especially when it involves electronics on a moving vehicle. Sometimes the equipment was either not installed by professionals, or even worse, the system wasn’t designed to be used in a moving vehicle and won’t work for long.
### \#8 - It's like watching a silent movie
Older camera systems either weren’t available with audio, or the poor sound quality makes it hard to understand what anyone is saying. Integrated microphones on newer cameras take care of this problem.
Even if your school bus camera systems aren't ancient, if they are more than five years old you run the risk of one day having the uncomfortable conversation with a parent or school administrator about why the ‘video didn’t record’ that incident where little Johnny punched little Susie. Don’t put yourself in that position – put your bus camera systems on a regular technology refresh program.

### [How School Bus Cameras Can Help in Accident Reconstruction](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/how-school-bus-cameras-can-help-in-accident-reconstruction/)
**Published:** October 27, 2014
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
It was a regular Wednesday afternoon for Clayton County bus driver Terry Pettiford, who had just dropped the children off after a volleyball game and was coming back to the bus yard. She was driving down Panhandle Road when all of a sudden a red car crossed the center line and sent the bus off its track into a home.
The video from Seon’s on-board camera system captured those terrifying seconds when Terry Pettiford had to decide where to turn to avoid a head-on collision, then swerved left and struck a house. She had two choices: go to the right, into the park which was full of kids, or choose the left side. As seen on camera, the left turn took the bus directly into the garage of the house that belongs to Tom and Barbara Essinger. The driver saw the roof coming down, and as the glass started shattering, she screamed and tried to protect her eyes.
Luckily, there were no children on the bus and no one was severely hurt in the accident. Barbara Essinger, the homeowner, injured her knee by being thrown from her couch by the crash, and Terry Pettiford, the bus driver, got several bruises - although the emotional stress over the accident lasted much longer.
"I thank God every day I was able to live through that," Terry Pettiford said to Atlanta’s 11Alive reporters later.
The windshield camera video served as a great evidence to prove the innocence of the bus driver, whom locals called a hero. The video recording was used in the police investigation to confirm that the driver of the red car initiated the accident. Even the owners of the house - the Essingers, understood the situation and the choice of the bus track. Terry Pettiford could have driven into a park with lots of kids, but instead she turned the vehicle into a garage.
Seon’s school bus camera systems capture video and audio of exactly what’s happening on board and let drivers keep their eyes on the road. Having high-definition, quality mobile surveillance equipment, and placing it strategically inside and outside of the vehicle, ensures that everything that happens on a route is captured and recorded. The camera body is designed to protect it from wreckages and the video image stays clear even in low-light conditions, which can be extremely important in the emergency situations.
The company’s video playback software allows authorized personnel to pinpoint the exact time and location of the accident, vehicle speed, turn signals and braking. The data from the camera system can be saved and archived, and a video clip can be created for evidence. Thus, installation of video and audio surveillance products can be a great solution to meet the challenges of today’s school bus environment.

### [5 Lessons Learned: Using Cameras to Capture School Bus Stop-arm Violations](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-lessons-learned-using-cameras-to-capture-school-bus-stop-arm-violations/)
**Published:** January 29, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Over 24 states have now introduced or have pending laws authorizing the use of video cameras on the outside of school buses to identify stop-arm violators. But rolling out a stop-arm camera program can be tricky and time-consuming. So we thought we’d share five lessons we’ve learned from working with school districts over the past five years to test and perfect the technology to help them take advantage of these new laws.
### Lesson #1 - Choose the Right Technology Partner
Before you choose a vendor to work with, ask them three important questions:
1\) How many systems have you deployed?
2\) What is your track record in this or nearby states?
3\) What support will you provide during and after implementation (training & best practices)?
Ensure that your stop-arm camera supplier has a number of implementations under their belt, a track record of reliability, and ask for proof. Be certain that the cameras used on the outside of buses are carefully designed by mobile video engineers to withstand the rigors of the road and any type of weather conditions (heat, humidity, snow, ice).
If the vendor has worked with others in the state they will better understand both the legal requirements and environmental factors in your area that could prevent clear stop-arm violation event capture.
Finally, make sure that your vendor will provide support after the camera purchase to ensure proper installation and testing programs.
### Lesson #2 – Automation is Key
Every successful stop-arm camera deployment should involve as much automation as possible to save time, money, and ensure student safety. Drivers need to stay focused on loading and unloading students, so your stop-arm camera solution should be automatically triggered by a sensor that detects when a vehicle illegally passes the bus and marks that video recording with an alarm.
When that bus returns to the yard, the system should automatically download the video footage tagged as a stop-arm violation and any necessary vehicle telemetry information such as speed, direction, and GPS co-ordinates. This will avoid the manual labor involved in identifying potential violations, and manually removing hard drives from the bus.
Lastly, look for a solution that gives you a web-based dashboard of any alarms or video system health status to ensure that your cameras are always operational. You never want to explain to a parent why the footage of their child’s near miss wasn’t captured.
### Lesson #3 – Test and Verify Image Clarity
Rigorously test and verify that you can capture key vehicle details and license plate numbers from both directions, across multiple lanes, and in all weather and lighting conditions.
Every bus model is different and each state’s evidence laws are different. Spend time testing different camera mounts, positioning, and varying camera lenses to ensure you get it right.
### Lesson #4 - Make Sure it Meets Legal Requirements
Understand the stop-arm camera legislation in your state and what constitutes legal evidence of a violation. In some states the law actually requires not only a picture of the vehicle license plate, but also the driver.
Involve all relevant law enforcement agencies before you embark on a deployment, and then share your test footage with each of them to ensure that you are producing evidence packages that meet their needs. Nothing derails a stop-arm camera project more often than violations that go unprosecuted.
### Lesson #5 – Plan a Public Awareness Campaign
Once you’re ready to start capturing live violations, make sure the public has plenty of warning that you plan to work with law enforcement to prosecute violators. A press release to the local media can be helpful in generating awareness for your program, and reminding motorists that passing a stopped school bus with its lights flashing is against the law.

### [5 Questions Answered about Your Video Surveillance System](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/5-questions-answered-about-your-video-surveillance-system/)
**Published:** April 9, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
When it comes to technical support, we want to help you find the solution to your problem as quickly as possible. We’ve put together the most frequently asked questions and asked Seon’s Service Manager, **Rory Halliday**, to answer them. The steps and guidelines below will help you avoid issues with video recording and save time in your busy schedule.
1. ### Is there an easy way to tell if a DVR is not recording before I start a run?
Yes, there is a simple and effective way to check the recording by looking at an optional diagnostics button. This feature can be installed on all Seon systems. When the button is flashing green, the DVR is not recording video. When the button is solid green but not flashing, the DVR is recording video. If there is no green light the DVR/ignition is not on. This button is also an event marker that allows a driver to press it to mark a spot on the video for further review. This makes the incident easier to find on the hard drive later.The button (Seon part ID: HDIA20) is easy to install and your [sales representative](https://www.safefleet.net/sales-support/) can help you order it.
2. ### How do I know if my DVR system is operating correctly and recording effectively?
Seon has an easy-to-read Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide to help you with that. We recommend performing a “5 Minute Test” during each preventative maintenance routine of your buses/vehicles to confirm that the DVR is recording and the camera views are correct.
3. ### Do I need to format my hard drive? And if so, how often?
Seon DVR systems do not require formatting of hard drives to maintain peak performance. Like your computer or laptop, the hard drives continue operating effectively. However, we recommend preventative maintenance. To extend the life of the equipment you can format hard drives once or twice a year.
4. ### My DVR did not record video. What’s wrong?
The most common reason that video is not recorded to a DVR is because the hard drive is not locked in place. In order for a DVR to record video to a hard drive, the hard drive must be secured in the DVR by locking it. Training of personnel is key to preventing this issue from happening in the future. One thing we also recommend is investing in our [video management software](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-software/ "vMax Commander Software") which allows you to monitor the health of every camera and DVR and wirelessly download video when the buses return to the yard.
5. ### What else can I do to ensure proper operation of my DVR system?
The best way to ensure smooth and trouble-free recording is to conduct DVR system training with your key personnel. Your drivers and mechanics should understand how the system works and know which buttons to use in different situations. Administrators should be able to retrieve the video and work with the recorded information.

### [Three Reasons You Need a Bus Video Surveillance Policy](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/three-reasons-you-need-a-bus-video-surveillance-policy/)
**Published:** April 22, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Video surveillance systems are a great tool for ensuring student and driver safety on school buses. But having cameras installed on your buses without a well-defined video surveillance policy is a recipe for disaster, leaving your school district open to potential lawsuits or privacy complaints.
Here are three reasons why you need to publish a video surveillance policy today:
### \# 1 – The policy ensures the balance between security and an individual's right to privacy.
While the installation of bus cameras helps increase employee and student safety, the recorded footage may contain sensitive information and should be treated with care. Transportation managers can face a lot of requests to view the video to track student behavior in a recent bullying incident or provide evidence to the law enforcement authorities after a road accident.
How should school districts handle such requests? This is where the policy comes in handy.
This document should clearly show the purpose of the recorded video, the number and placement of cameras and the purposes for using recordings. The policy is also a great way to restrict access to monitoring and distributing video and appoint employees responsible for handling and archiving the recorded files.
At the same time, putting this document in place is one of the best ways to protect the reputation of the transportation department in cases of complaints from parents or drivers concerned about privacy.
### \# 2 – The policy helps to assign responsibility for video surveillance system and files.
This can be especially helpful if you have numerous staff and frequent video requests. Whenever a driver, parent or law enforcement officer comes to your department asking for a video recording, the responsible employee will know how to handle the situation according to the protocol.
The policy allows assigning tasks between different groups of personnel. For example, bus operators should have a special set of responsibilities to ensure the video system is operating correctly. Managers should be accountable for the security of all records and proper training of personnel dealing with the video surveillance system. The person responsible for handling all video-related duties should be able to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the recorded information.
### \# 3 – The policy ensures proper storage and distribution of recorded files.
Creating guidelines for storing and managing video will save your transportation department a lot of time. It will also help to keep the recordings safe and secure, and at the same time find the requested information faster.

### [Preparing for Emergencies: the Latest in Surveillance Technology](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/preparing-for-emergencies-the-latest-in-surveillance-technology/)
**Published:** November 30, 2015
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
*Originally published in BusRide magazine, November 2015*
In an emergency situation, every second counts. To prepare for the unthinkable, you not only need to train operators and conduct drills, but implement the right tools and technologies in advance. Here are few suggestions to give transit security staff better on-board visibility to assess and respond to emergencies quickly and improve incident investigations.
### Add more cameras for a better view
You never get a second chance to get a better view. Camera placement is critical to delivering the right footage no matter where an incident happens on and around the bus. While there is a trend towards high-resolution cameras to improve views outside the bus (i.e. capture license plates), ensure you have enough cameras to prevent any gaps in visibility inside the bus, especially in high incident-prone areas, such as the bus entrance, driver seat, and fare box area.
### Alarm-triggered recording and live alerts
Give drivers the tools to alert security staff to an on-board emergency and trigger recording of the incident. A panic button connected to the on-board surveillance system can trigger recording of a special camera view of the driver in case of assault, if union agreements prevent you from continuously recording drivers. It can also transmit a live security alert via email or on-screen in a real-time vehicle tracking application such as [Live Video Streaming](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/live-video-streaming/).
### Live streaming video
One of the newest and most effective technologies for assessing emergency situations as they happen is live streaming video. This technology allows authorized transit staff tap into secure footage from any installed bus camera in real-time, to access live video and audio as the emergency unfolds. This technology is particularly useful in hostage situations or where a driver is unreachable via radio due to a medical condition.
### Integrated vehicle tracking
A live fleet tracking application can tie all of this technology together in a single map-based view. Your emergency response team can view live on-screen alerts when panic buttons are pressed, locate the exact GPS location of the bus to dispatch help to the scene, and even click on the bus to tap into live on-board video to assess the situation.
### Locate the right footage and auto-download
With video management software and a wireless network in your bus depot, you can download alarmed video footage automatically as the bus returns to the yard. Or when an incident occurs you can schedule a download from any device via a web-based application. Video management software also makes it easier to locate video related to a crime scene. Simply highlight the incident location on a map to display all vehicle tracks travelling through the area and click the vehicle track to set a start and end point for your download.
When disaster strikes on a transit vehicle, transit agencies are under intense public scrutiny. Could the incident have been prevented? Did they do everything they could to respond quickly and efficiently? What really happened and who is at fault? Having the right evidence at your fingertips can mean the difference between a prolonged civil suit costing millions, and a speedy investigation absolving you of wrongdoing. In this case, it pays to be prepared in advance.

### [Video Surveillance Footage Review – Best Practices](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/video-surveillance-footage-review-best-practices/)
**Published:** April 22, 2016
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
One of the key pain points when it comes to surveillance footage is the volume of requests for video. Once video has been used to successfully exonerate a driver from a false accusation, or school administrators have used it to solve student discipline issues, these requests can become overwhelming. And most of these issues are time sensitive. Here are six tips to find video faster and investigate reported incidents in record time:
1. ### Get Drivers to Mark Video
One really simple, low-cost solution to avoid having to review hours of irrelevant video footage is to install a panic button in the driver console. When an incident occurs on the bus, drivers can push the button to mark the video for later review. Then once the video is retrieved, viewers can jump to the alarm immediately as it will be marked on the video review pane without scrolling through footage from an entire route or several days.
2. ### Enhance Your View with Vehicle Telemetry
The addition of a GPS receiver to your video system can also speed up your investigation times by giving you additional context to the situation such as vehicle speed, location and directions. Video review software should also incorporate vehicle signals such as stop-arm deployment, turn signals and brakes. These are essential when producing video evidence to prosecute stop-arm violations.
3. ### Download Video Automatically via Wi-Fi
Save time travelling to the bus to retrieve footage, have marked events download automatically as the bus returns to the yard. Make sure your Wi-Fi network is ready to handle video. Work with a reputable mobile video surveillance provider with Certified Wireless Network Professionals (CWNP) on staff to ensure it is qualified to handle video data.
In our recent case study with Frisco Independent School District , the District’s transportation team explained how wireless downloading helped them save time and be more efficient. **Doug Becker**, Transportation Director at Frisco ISD, says, “We used to have one staff member whose job was to chase videos everywhere. Now this person is helping us run the fleet while there are several people who can access data from different locations if required. We don't waste time searching for video anymore.”
4. ### Pro-actively Monitor Video System Health
A transportation director never wants to tell a parent or principal that the video didn’t record because they forgot to replace or lock the hard drive, so they need to pro-actively monitor the health of the video system. A video health dashboard like vMax Pulse lets you easily spot maintenance needs and address them immediately.
5. ### Invest in the Right Video Management Platform
Spot checking random clips of video is good for ensuring things like quality of driver-student interaction in special needs transportation, but can be time consuming for a large fleet with hundreds of drivers. [Video management software](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-software/) can be set up to automatically trigger a video download based on driver-initiated panic alarms, travel outside of a specific route, or dangerous driving behavior such as a sharp turn, speeding, or hard braking. When integrated with [a live GPS tracking service](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-management/school-bus-fleet-tracking/), the system will allow a fleet manager to see these alerts in real-time.
When a parent reports a bus was speeding, or an accident occurs, you can quickly locate the right bus and the right video by date, time or even GPS Location and click on the map to schedule a download when the bus returns to the yard.
Finally this type of software can even facilitate random spot checking by allowing you to schedule short video clips to download for review once a day, week or month.
6. ### More Cameras = Better View & Faster Incident Resolution
Even though high-definition cameras are increasing in popularity, there is no substitute for more cameras. It’s hard to get a complete picture of every seat in the bus with less than four cameras. A [recent report released from the NTSB](http://www.ntsb.gov/safety/safety-studies/Documents/SR1501.pdf) that chronicles the Port St. Lucie school bus crash involving a student fatality demonstrates how essential camera placement is in accident reconstruction.

### [Hybrid DVRs: Preserving Your Security Investment](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/hybrid-dvrs-preserving-your-security-investment/)
**Published:** May 20, 2016
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Keeping up with the latest technology is hard. New mobile security products are being developed every year with more bells and whistles. It seems the only constant is change. So how does a transit agency ensure that their mobile surveillance system is up to date while keeping budgets in check? One cost-effective solution to consider is a hybrid digital video recorder (DVR).
### What is a Hybrid DVR?
Similar to a hybrid vehicle that uses two forms of energy (gasoline & electric), a hybrid DVR can record video and data from two types of video security cameras – traditional analog and digital high-definition (HD) or ‘IP’ cameras. Traditional analog cameras are most common in mobile surveillance and still made up almost 95% of new camera sales in 2015 (Source: IHS Group). Hybrid DVRs give you the flexibility to add new high-definition cameras where it makes sense while preserving your initial analog camera investment.
An example of a Hybrid DVR is Seon’s new Explorer model HX16, a sixteen channel DVR designed for mobile applications. HX16 DVRs support connection of up to 12 analog cameras and up to 4 HD (IP) cameras.
### A Brief History
So what is the difference between traditional analog and IP cameras? Analog cameras go way back to the days of VHS tape recorders, when operators were required to search through hours of video evidence to find video of interest. But analog cameras continued in popularity even after the introduction of digital video recorders in the late 90’s.
Even with the adoption of DVR technology, high-definition, ‘IP’ cameras really have only emerged in the mobile surveillance market in the last three years. One of reasons for this is due to gradual improvements in analog camera technology in terms of camera size, lens options, reliability, digital signal processing and more lines of resolution. According to the 2015 IHS Report on Mobile Surveillance, in some cases there is an overlap in resolution and image quality of high-end analog cameras and low-end IP cameras.
Another reason for the continued popularity of analog cameras is video storage and retention. Although high-definition cameras can produce an image 3 to 6 times the resolution of an analog camera, they also consume 3 times more storage space, thereby reducing the number of days of video you can store on the hard drive before being overwritten.
### What are the Benefits of a Hybrid?
Beyond the simple connection of two camera technologies, hybrid DVRs have a number of advantages for transit agencies looking to upgrade their security systems. The obvious benefit is cost. Replacing an entire surveillance system with a DVR, up to 16 cameras, wireless technology, playback and video management software can be expensive. Hybrid DVRs allow you to improve your return on investment and extending the useful life of your analog cameras and software. You can focus your budget dollars on adding more cameras to provide more coverage in and around the bus, rather than replacing existing cameras.
Being able to continue to record video and audio from analog cameras also reduces the DVR storage requirements, allowing you to store more hours of video on the DVR hard drive before needing to download.
Once you’ve installed a Hybrid DVR you can gradually introduce high-definition cameras in specific areas of the bus where a higher resolution image is required for incident review, such as the fare box, windshield, or exterior of the bus. You have a wider range of camera selections to choose from to suit your application. You will have a higher quality picture and the ability to zoom-in on images to create better video evidence essential in license plate capture.
### When does a Hybrid DVR make sense?
The main reason for purchasing a hybrid DVR is to introduce new high-definition camera technology to your fleet while preserving your existing investment in analog cameras. It makes sense for any size fleet with a large investment in analog camera infrastructure and resource constraints. Hybrid DVRs are a great way to introduce state-of-the-art technology into your surveillance system without breaking the bank.

### [Driver Recruitment and Retention Best Practices: Switzer-Carty Transportation](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/driver-recruitment-and-retention-best-practices-switzer-carty-transportation/)
**Published:** May 27, 2016
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
90% of school districts and school transportation companies across North America have experienced a driver shortage. Strict industry regulations, safety concerns, low wages and sometimes even negative public perception of driving buses keep people from entering the field. At the same time, school transportation faces a high turnover rate with the best employees jumping from one company to another. Recruiting and training new drivers is more expensive than retaining existing personnel, and the lack of qualified workforce forces transportation managers to figure out how to keep their best people. And raising the salary range might not be the deal breaker here: some other factors like low employee engagement or lack of respect at work can be drawing your workforce away. So, what can be done to resolve that?
To discuss strategies on how to engage employees and solve the problem of driver retention, we talked to **Jim Switzer**, Owner of [Switzer-Carty Transportation](http://www.switzer-carty.com/) (Burlington, ON), one of those rare transportation companies that have a waiting list of potential employees vs. a shortage. The company has a great corporate culture, built on Switzer`s and his co-founder Doug Carty`s belief that people are the main asset of the organization.
### Having the Right Focus
> “When Doug Carty and I established the company in 2011, our main focus was on building a team where people will be treated with dignity and respect, not as a number,” says Jim Switzer. “We wanted to create a business based on delivering a service promise to our customers, providing safe and efficient transportation to school districts while at the same time caring about our employees.”
Switzer-Carty Transportation was founded with 60 buses five years ago, and now the company has grown to 900 buses operated by a great team. Both co-founders, Jim Switzer and Doug Carty, have extensive experience in the school transportation industry and a vision that a relentless focus on people and customers will ensure continued success.
> “Since the establishment of the company, we’ve never had trouble recruiting drivers or our full time staff,” explains Switzer. “In fact, now we have a waiting list of employees. Our best recruiting mechanism has always been our people. We’ve never advertised our open positions using standard media channels, as word-of-mouth has worked much better for us. What attracts people to work for us is the reputation of the company. If you compare us with our competitors, we all buy the same buses, the same fuel and the same equipment. What sets us apart is our corporate culture and efficiency of our team.”
Today, Switzer-Carty Transportation transports over 70,000 students per day, providing safe transportation services throughout the province of Ontario.
### Talking the Talk and Walking the Walk
The right strategy of focusing on people at the beginning was supported by practice. Since 2011, Switzer-Carty Transportation has implemented certain processes and policies that helped build a strong team that understands the current priorities of the business and cares about their work.
Switzer explains that the company has always had an open door policy for employees. “We have competitive salaries for the same type of business in Canada, but some of our competitors do too. Over the years that we have worked in the industry, we’ve noticed that when drivers select an employer, pay is important, but it’s not the driving factor. It is also meaningful for the employee to be engaged in business, to have ownership in their job, to take pride in what he/she does and to be treated well. That’s why a high level of communication with our team, being open and honest, is the key for us.”
> “We have regular town hall meetings, where we explain what we need to focus on as a team, what’s new or what’s going to change, and how we are planning to do certain things,” continues Switzer. “In addition to that, we regularly ask for both customer and employee feedback to check on our efficiency and corporate culture, to see what we can improve in our operations and communication.”
As almost everywhere in the industry, the majority of drivers at Switzer-Carty Transportation work a split morning/afternoon shift. The company has both part-time and full-time employees. “From our previous industry experience, we know how hard it is to find a good driver and what it takes to keep the best people,” says Switzer. “So, that is why we focus on investing in our team. For example, we offer benefits to our part-time employees, comprehensive hands-on driver improvement training with real-life scenarios, and opportunities to grow with us.”
### Inspiring Corporate Culture
Switzer says that “culture beats strategy every time”, that’s why focusing on the needs of both customers and employees helps Switzer-Carty Transportation be successful in what they do.
> “We are extremely proud of our people. They all come from different cultures and backgrounds and each of them has brought something unique to our team. Together we created a very positive corporate culture. I am not the main guy in the office, I am not driving 900 buses. Our people, they are the most important people here. And they are best at what they do. A lot of our employees have worked with us since the establishment of the company in 2011. One example is Dan Maradin, our Vice President of Operations. His broad experience in the industry, combined with great leadership abilities, has helped us excel at customer service and create an efficient operation. We also have the best Branch managers in the industry on our team.”
For Switzer-Carty Transportation, transparency and openness is not just internal, it’s key for building trust with customers and job applicants. Switzer explains, “Once we had an open house at our office and a driver came up to me and asked how it is to work here. I told him “I won’t ask you to trust me as the CEO of the company; you’d better go talk to our people and see if they like working here.” So, he went to talk to our drivers and then came back to me thanking me for giving that advice. That conversation helped him to grasp the culture of the company and he decided to apply for the job.”
Treating people with dignity and respect, and uniting them with a common goal to serve customers in the most efficient way to deliver our service promise, is the key principle of Switzer-Carty Transportation that helps the company move forward.

### [Revealed: 3 Little Known Uses for Bus Video](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/revealed-3-little-known-uses-for-bus-video/)
**Published:** March 24, 2017
**Author:** cmorris
**Content:**
Video surveillance systems have become a valuable tool for transportation teams all over the world, helping solve difficult situations on board and improving passenger safety. Most of the time recorded footage is used as evidence to solve disputes and complaints or exonerate innocent drivers. In this article, we’ll show you how to get the most out of your investment in video safety technology with three innovative uses for bus video.
1. ### Driver Coaching and Training
Each transportation agency or department has their own priorities when it comes to driver coaching. Whether your goal is to reduce and avoid collisions, protect operators, improve fuel efficiency, or correct unsafe habits, recorded video footage can help you give your employees constructive feedback and prevent incidents.
For example, if a transit agency had a recent conflict on a bus with passengers involved, analyzing the video with drivers will allow your team to identify ways of preventing these situations in the future. By asking operators to suggest the [best self-defence and incident de-escalation techniques](https://www.safefleet.net/blog/the-bus-operator-toolbox-conflict-resolution-and-communication-strategies-that-can-save-lives/) while watching the footage, you will get a better engagement and attention from your drivers than by simply telling them to follow the safety policies.
If your video footage is integrated with GPS and telemetry data, you can also demonstrate the dangers of distracted driving. For example, a driver was reaching for something during the route and it resulted in a dangerous swerving, bringing the vehicle closer to the other lane, vehicle or curb. Presenting video evidence in this case will have more impact on the driver behavior than a simple discussion.
Quite often, unsafe driving happens because of a habit. When drivers see their mistakes on the video, they become aware of their performance and they are more motivated to improve their behavior.
When planning video coaching, consider the training format as well: while it’s helpful to watch footage from a recent incident in a group, it’s better to discuss personal driving mistakes in a one-on-one meeting avoiding driver intimidation.
2. ### Video for Improving Customer Service
Video can be an amazing tool for improving customer service, increasing ridership, and ultimately leading to an increase in revenue. Passengers expect public transit to be safe, reliable, frequent, accessible, comfortable, and affordable. By analyzing a few video recordings from different bus routes once a month, you will be able to check if your vehicles and operators meet expectations and quickly spot opportunities for improvement.
The following checklist might help:
1. Analyze passenger demographics and common behavior patterns. This is helpful for conflict prevention on board and understanding of passenger expectations.
2. Are there any physical barriers on the bus for both drivers and passengers? Can the driver see what’s happening in the back seats?
3. How about operators themselves? Are they polite with customers? Efficient with fare collection? Helpful to passengers?
4. Is the vehicle easily accessible for people with limited mobility?
5. Can you see anything that passengers like about a special route? Can this success be copied to other routes?
6. Do you have some overcrowded buses in certain locations? Do these locations require an enhanced security protection?
If you find some questions from the list not relevant to your situation, look for some other insights and clues from the video footage depending on your current [transportation](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/transit-surveillance-systems/) goals. Scheduling routes for regular review is easier if you have access to [video management software](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/fleet-video-evidence-management-systems/) that can download clips from a selection of buses each week.
Sometimes changes can be implemented easily and immediately if your agency is using [live video streaming](https://www.safefleet.net/products/fleet-video-systems/live-video-streaming/) and you monitor your vehicles in real time.
3. ### Improve Driver Retention
Another great way to use video is for identifying the best drivers in your team to recognize their behavior and show your appreciation. If one of your operators performed an exceptional act of customer service, you can demonstrate the recording at the next team meeting and use this positive example for best practices training.
Video footage might also help you reveal why some drivers are more successful than others or what exactly they are doing to be the best. Possibly, their behavior can be transferred to other operators in your team. Further research can help you find what motivates these leaders and how to retain and attract like-minded employees in your agency.
Eventually, recognizing successful drivers might become one of your favorite responsibilities: people always respond better to praise than negative feedback and like being appreciated by their management.
With bus video, it’s easy to put yourself in the driver’s or passenger’s seat and get an unbiased look of what’s happening on board or outside the bus. By using recorded footage for training, service and driver retention improvement, you can get more benefits from your surveillance investment and solve some long-standing transportation challenges.

## Frequently Asked Questions About Safe Fleet’s Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) System
### What is Safe Fleet's ALPR system?
Safe Fleet's Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is an in-car analytics tool that scans license plates and analyzes vehicle characteristics in real-time, matching them against loaded database hotlists.
### How does it avoid extra clutter in the patrol vehicle?
Instead of requiring dedicated processing units and heavy cabin cabling, ALPR integrates directly into your existing Safe Fleet FOCUS H2 or H3 hardware platform. The AI platform is able to use the standard camera which is already used for evidence capture.
### How do FOCUS H3 users upgrade to ALPR?
For agencies using the FOCUS H3, the upgrade is entirely software-based. It can be deployed and activated wirelessly without taking the patrol vehicle out of service for hardware installation.
### What makes AI vehicle identification different from basic plate reading?
In addition to reading characters, the system analyzes the vehicle itself—capturing its make, model, color, and body style. This metadata is saved alongside the plate scan, enabling back-office investigators to run highly specific searches—such as finding all blue Honda Accords.
### How does the system reduce officer distraction?
The system operates silently in the background during routine patrol and only interrupts the officer with an audible and visual alert when a confirmed hotlist match is found.
### Does the system support automatic software updates?
Yes. System updates, security patches, and hotlist configuration changes are securely deployed wirelessly to keep the system up-to-date automatically.
### How can I request a demo or learn more?
You can contact Safe Fleet to schedule a system demonstration or speak with a representative about tailoring ALPR to your agency's needs.

### [Suffolk Transportation Service (STS): School Bus Camera Systems Case Study](https://www.safefleet.net/school-bus-case-studies-suffolk-transportation-service-camera-systems/)
**Published:** May 26, 2026
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
#### Case Study · [School Bus Safety](https://www.safefleet.net/school-bus)
# Suffolk Transportation Service (STS)
##### Raising the Bar Through Technology, Discipline, and Partnership
### A Culture Built on Doing It Right
Suffolk Transportation Services is a family-owned organization guided by a simple belief: do the job right.
That belief shapes how the company operates every day—from how they support their drivers to how they serve school districts and families. Loyalty, transparency, and accountability are not just values; they are expectations that guide decision-making at every level of the organization.
The STS leadership team has long understood that consistency is what builds trust. Doing the job right once is not enough—it has to happen every day, on every route, across every location.
With 1,800 vehicles transporting over 60,000 students across 15 locations, that level of consistency is not easy to achieve. It requires discipline, strong processes, and systems that perform reliably in the background.
For STS, safety and reliability are not aspirational goals—they are operational requirements. Every investment they make, particularly in technology, is measured against one question: does it help them deliver safer, more accountable transportation at scale?
### The Challenge That Changed Everything
More than a decade ago, Suffolk Transportation Service faced a growing operational risk that put that standard to the test.
Their onboard camera systems—critical tools for safety and accountability—were not performing as expected. Hardware failures were frequent. Footage was inconsistent or missing altogether. And when incidents occurred, the evidence they relied on simply wasn’t available.
This created real challenges across the organization. Investigations took longer. Disputes were harder to resolve. Drivers lacked the protection they needed. And leadership had limited visibility into what was actually happening on the road.
The lack of support from their previous provider made the situation worse. Issues were slow to be addressed, and confidence in the system continued to decline. Over time, what should have been a critical operational asset became a source of frustration and risk.
It became clear that video technology—something central to safety, transparency, and operational control—could no longer be treated as secondary. It needed to be dependable, supported, and capable of scaling with the business.
### Building a Reliable Foundation
STS made a deliberate shift.
Working closely with their trusted dealer, Suffolk Communications, they evaluated alternatives and selected Safe Fleet/Seon and committed to deploying the technology across their fleet.
The decision was not just about replacing hardware—it was about establishing a reliable, long-term foundation for how video would support the business.
Today, every vehicle is equipped before it enters service. This ensures that no matter where a bus is operating, it meets the same standard for safety, visibility, and accountability.
Standardization has been key. It removes variability between locations, simplifies training and support, and allows teams to operate with a consistent set of expectations.
More importantly, it positions video as a core part of the operation—not an add-on, but a foundational system that supports multiple aspects of the business.
### “We have a long-standing relationship with our dealer and a reliable product with advanced technology.”
Thomas W. Smith, Chief Operating Officer, STS
### How Suffolk Transportation Service Operates Today
Today, video is fully embedded into STS daily operations and decision-making processes.
Each vehicle is equipped with Safe Fleet/Seon camera systems designed to capture a clear, comprehensive view of activity inside the bus. This level of visibility supports a structured, proactive approach to safety and operations, enabling:
- Student behavior monitoring and early intervention
- Fast, accurate incident investigation and reconstruction
- Driver protection and fair, evidence-based complaint resolution
- Ongoing training and performance coaching using real-world scenarios
- Secure, timely evidence sharing with school districts and stakeholders
The impact goes beyond individual incidents. Video helps create a consistent operational standard across the entire fleet, allowing teams to respond quickly, make informed decisions, and continuously improve performance.
Just as importantly, video plays a critical role in building trust.
Drivers know they are supported and protected by objective evidence. Leadership has reliable information to guide decisions and policies. School districts and families benefit from transparency and clarity, particularly when incidents occur.
In a complex, high-volume operation like that of Suffolk Transportation Service, trust is essential.
### Why It Works
The system works because it is reliable—and that reliability changes how the organization operates.
In the past, uncertainty around footage created delays, frustration, and risk. Today, STS teams operate with confidence, knowing that video will be available when it matters most.
That certainty has a direct impact on how the business operates—improving efficiency, responsiveness, and overall risk management:
- Systems perform consistently across the full vehicle lifecycle
- Health monitoring tools provide early visibility into potential issues
- High-quality video is accessible when needed for operational and legal decisionsInstead of reacting to problems, teams can stay focused on operations, knowing the technology will perform as expected.
Equally important is the strength of the partnership behind the technology. Suffolk Communications plays a critical role in deploying and supporting systems at scale, ensuring consistency across locations and minimizing operational disruption. Together with Safe Fleet, they provide the reliability, service, and expertise STS depends on to maintain high performance across the fleet.
Technology alone is not enough—execution and support are what make it work.
### What Sets Suffolk Transportation Apart
Many operators invest in technology simply to meet baseline requirements.
STS takes a different approach. They invest with intention—focusing on solutions that improve operations, reduce risk, and support long-term growth.
They are proactive in adopting proven technologies, and they set higher expectations for how those technologies are used across their business.
This mindset drives better outcomes across the organization:
- Stronger safety performance
- Faster and more accurate incident resolution
- Improved driver confidence and retention
- Greater trust with school districts and communities
Rather than treating compliance as the goal, STS treats it as the starting point—and continues to build from there.
### A Simple Takeaway
The STS approach is straightforward:
Choose the right partners.
Standardize on technology you trust.
Commit to continuous improvement.
These principles have enabled STS to scale with confidence while maintaining high standards across every part of the operation.
The result is a transportation network that is not only efficient, but also transparent, accountable, and built for long-term success.
Choose the right partners.
Standardize on technology you trust.
Commit to continuous improvement.

## Passenger safety and risk mitigation from every angle
### Reduce risk and liability with a camera system that meets your needs
Rely on firsthand, irrefutable evidence to resolve problems quickly, easily, and reliably. Our transit bus camera systems capture clear video and audio inside and outside the bus to help you defend against false claims and lower operating costs.

## Where Do School Bus Blind Spots Put Students at Risk?
Blind spots create the greatest risk during student loading, tight turns, and maneuvers in school zones. Students often move into areas where mirrors alone cannot provide full visibility. The inView 360HD™ reduces these accidents by providing a stitched, top-down view that completely eliminates vehicle blind spots.

Eliminate blind spots with a real-time bird’s-eye view. Drivers can identify students near wheels and bumpers to navigate safely. This clarity prevents preventable incidents and protects lives during low-speed maneuvers.
#### Prevent Vehicle Damage
1080p visual guidance stops scrapes and curb strikes during parking. Continuous visibility keeps buses on the road, directly lowering insurance premiums and reducing annual fleet maintenance costs.
#### Avoid Liability Costs
Built-in recording captures verifiable 1080p video to prove fault and defend against fraudulent claims. These digital records provide critical legal protection and shield your organization from litigation expenses.
### What are the technical specifications of the inView 360HD™?
- **Supports up to 6 Cameras:** Standard 4-camera stitched view; expandable to 6 cameras for larger specialized vehicles.
- **1080p High-Definition Recording:** All cameras utilize 1080p AHD technology for local recording and high-definition video output.

Body Cameras Earning Trust & Increasing Safety
**The truth in law enforcement is always critical,** sometimes elusive, and often open to interpretation. Your body camera is a corroborating, independent and reliable third-party. It could be the deciding factor in a just conviction. Or a way to gain the trust of a community.
*It’s not just the Police Department that benefits from it...”*
*Glyn Horn, Assistant Chief*
*I would not be doing the job without it...”*
*Maria Molina, Detective*
# Increase Trust & Transparency
**Effective Police performance depends on public approval.** To fight crime effectively, the public needs to trust an officer’s actions are legitimate. The body camera plays a major role here – giving them complete transparency with every interaction.
Body camera footage helps police resolve issues quicker with clear, undisputable, defendable evidence. Video cuts the amount of time officers spend on paperwork. And it can help prosecutors prepare more complete cases contributing to a greater likelihood of conviction.
*Like we say in Law Enforcement, there’s the truth, it’s your truth and then there’s the real truth...”*
*Henry Garcia, Lieutenant*
*It gives the investigator the opportunity to go back and put themselves in the seat or the role of the officer watching that footage...”*

2\. PROACTIVE
- Provide your students with a proactive, life-saving extra 3-4 seconds to avoid risk in the Danger Zone wtih the Safe Fleet Predictive Stop Arm® (PSA).

Therefore, in addition to the above terms, we provide you with the following information:
(a) The contact information for the Company Data Privacy Officer is provided in the “Contact Information” section of this Policy, below;
(b) Personal Information is processed only for the express purposes set forth in this Policy;
(c) Personal Information may be transferred to processors located around the world, and in such a case, we enter into European contractual clauses, or use any other mechanism provided by the GDPR to make such transfer legal;
(d) You are entitled to:
Request access to your Personal Information. This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it;
- Request correction of the Personal Information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate Personal Information we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us;
- Request erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information, where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing, where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request;
- Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or that of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms;
- Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it;
- Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you;
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
(e) You will not have to pay a fee to access your Personal Information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
(f) You may at any time lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority located in the European Union having jurisdiction over processing; and
(g) Company does not perform automated decision-making, including profiling.

**Transportation Contact:** Laura Bugger, Activity Fleet Manager
**Fleet Type:** Regular student routes, special needs, activity/sports
**Duet AI Coverage:** The district utilizes eight routing systems: two for activity buses, two for special needs transportation, and four for regular routes, organized by hubs – two serving the north and two serving the south.
### Introducing Duet AI
The Safe Fleet Duet AI Driver Behavior Monitoring System combines dual dash cameras with advanced artificial intelligence to help fleets identify and improve risky driving habits in real time. Designed to actively alert drivers to fatigue, distraction, and unsafe behaviors, Duet AI offers key features such as:
**AI-powered driver monitoring** for distractions like phone use, drowsiness, and harsh maneuvers
**A roadway-facing camera** that captures contextual footage of driving conditions
**Flexible privacy controls** that restrict streaming or recording based on policy or union needs
**Real-time alerts and driver scoring** to support coaching and accountability
**Location and Video Streaming.** Track live location from active devices and optionally stream video from front and rear cameras
**Cloud-based storage** with event-triggered uploads for post-incident review
By pairing cutting-edge detection with active event tracking, Duet AI empowers school districts to move beyond passive surveillance and build safer, more transparent transportation systems.
### The Motivation
Duet AI wasn’t introduced at Richland Two in response to a major incident. Instead, its adoption was driven by compelling data gathered during a test of competitive technology. Surprisingly, findings revealed specific areas where drivers could benefit from targeted coaching, such as speed management and stop-sign awareness. These nuanced driving patterns had previously gone unnoticed, highlighting the need for a more proactive safety solution.
That competitive technology wasn’t ultimately adopted, largely due to cost and fit, which left Richland Two open to exploring alternatives.
While Laura Bugger, the Activity Fleet Manager for Richland Two didn’t oversee the earlier trial, she had indirect insight into the results through well-documented notes and firsthand testimony from original team members. Duet AI functionality seemed broadly comparable to the previously tested competitive technology, but Duet AI stood out for its pilot structure that matched the district’s budget and rollout needs.
Richland Two decided to formally pilot the Duet AI Driver Behavior solution to see if this more organizationally aligned solution could help them zero in on the same issues noted in the previous test and prevent risks before they led to serious consequences.

### Safe Fleet Duet AI: A Smarter Way to Drive Fleet Safety Forward
Duet AI is a proactive fleet safety solution designed to do more than just monitor driving behavior – it helps prevent crashes before they happen. By intelligently identifying risky driving practices in real time, Duet AI empowers fleet managers to coach and correct behaviors swiftly and effectively, creating safer roads and more accountable drivers.
### **Duet AI is transforming fleet safety through:**
**Proactive Prevention** – Duet AI doesn’t just report incidents; it helps stop them from occurring by alerting drivers to unsafe habits before they escalate.
**Actionable Protection** – Fleet managers gain access to clear, data-driven insights that enable targeted coaching and continuous improvement.
**Simplified Experience** – With an intuitive interface and reliable performance, Duet AI makes safety management seamless and stress-free.
### The Technology Landscape
Richland Two deployed their Duet AI pilot in a variety of settings: on different types of bus routes (Activity, Special Needs, and regular routes) and across different transportation hubs. The goal was to understand how the system handled real-world driving conditions including changing speed limits, school zones, and route complexity.
While the cameras already installed on buses provided passive footage, Duet AI offered active alerts and data analysis which allowed the district to go beyond manually reviewing hours of video.
### Early Findings & Driver Reactions
Initial driver reactions to the inward-facing cameras ranged from skepticism to concerns over privacy. However, as the pilot progressed, a more productive narrative took shape. Drivers and administrators began to see the technology as a tool for professional growth and protection rather than one of simple surveillance.
One of the most significant findings involved the immediate impact of the system’s audible alerts. When Duet AI identified a risky behavior, such as a distraction or a harsh maneuver, it issued a real-time warning to the driver.
The data revealed a high rate of immediate self-correction. Most drivers adjusted their behavior the moment they received the alert, resolving potential safety issues without requiring supervisor intervention. This real-time feedback loop transforms the cab into a self-correcting environment, allowing drivers to manage their own performance and reduce the administrative burden on fleet managers.
### PREVENTION OVER PUNISHMENT
The Duet AI™ system helped identify consistent driving patterns and flag emerging safety trends early. Rather than using the system for punitive action, Richland Two used these insights to prioritize coaching and intervention, which ultimately lead to better student safety.
Even early in the pilot, administrators noticed positive results: drivers became more aware of risky behaviors, trends could be spotted and addressed before incidents occurred, and coaching could be targeted where it would have the greatest impact.
Laura believes the system would have an even broader impact if implemented across the entire fleet, but budget limitations mean expansion isn’t likely in the short term.
### FUTURE IMPLICATIONS
Though Richland’s pilot is limited in scope, Laura sees potential for much more, especially in using Duet AI as both a preventative and protective tool in training, coaching, incident resolution, and policy enforcement. And if scaled thoughtfully, Duet AI could help Richland Two redefine what proactive transportation safety looks like in schools.
Clearly, this technology delivers measurable benefits to fleets of all sizes – whether you’re managing a handful of vehicles or an entire district. By minimizing risk, fleets not only enhance safety but also reduce operating costs and improve overall performance.
Administrators and drivers have seen firsthand how repeat behaviors – like speeding or ignoring stop signs – are now met with accountability, thanks to clear, reliable footage.
“We don’t have eyes on every bus all the time. This gives us a way to see trends, stop problems before they escalate, and protect our students, drivers, and district.”
Laura Bugger, Activity Fleet Manager

**Published:** October 23, 2025
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
## Automatically enforce bus lane restrictions
### Automatically Enforce Bus Lane Restrictions with Safe Fleet® ClearLane™
Are vehicles traveling or parked in bus lanes slowing down your routes? Keep your bus lanes clear for faster transit commute times by automatically detecting and issuing violation notices to vehicle owners who block bus lanes during enforcement periods.
### Automatically detect and issue violation notices to clear dedicated bus lanes and improve passenger commute times
[Download Brochure](https://www.safefleet.net/document/safe-fleet-clearlane/)
## Ease bus lane congestion
### Ensure your buses are the only vehicles in your dedicated bus lanes
#### INCREASE BUS SCHEDULE RELIABILITY
Clear dedicated bus lanes for bus use only, so you can keep routes on schedule and reduce passenger commute times.
#### IMPROVE THE PASSENGER EXPERIENCE
Shorten passenger commute times, reduce waits at the bus stop, and keep your routes on schedule for more consistent and reliable service.
#### LOWER OPERATING COSTS
Reduce idling in the bus-only lane and improve fuel usage and vehicle maintenance/operational costs.
## How it works
The Safe Fleet ClearLane system installed on transit buses traveling in the bus-only lanes uses two types of bus-mounted cameras along with a purpose-built computer with internal sensors, a GPS receiver, and a cellular router. The front-facing camera provides context, recording video of the entire scene. The mobile Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) camera reads vehicle license plates. The context and ALPR cameras work in tandem, capturing the license plate details associated with any vehicle in violation of the posted bus lane restriction.
- Automatically detect a bus lane violation
- Capture license plate photo/video of vehicle infringement
- Deliver evidence to the ticketing system
## Hassle-free bus lane enforcement
### Keep unauthorized vehicles out of the bus lane and your transit routes on schedule
### Advanced Video Technology
Powered by advanced algorithms as well as two different cameras, a purpose-built computer with inertial sensors, a GPS receiver, and a high-bandwidth cellular router for incredible data reliability.
### Powerful Analytics = Incredible Accuracy
The system collects video and data such as license plate, vehicle, state of origin, vehicle position and uses a sophisticated algorithm and artificial intelligence modeling to achieve an average of 95% in vehicle detection and license plate accuracy.
The system uses powerful, redundant analytics processes to improve the accuracy of violation detection and license plate recognition.
### Quick Playback
Agencies report a 10-30% improvement in travel time within weeks of implementation, which positively impacts the passenger experience.

## See Beyond the Pillar
### Help prevent left-hand turn pedestrian strikes
The A-pillar creates one of the most dangerous blind spots on a transit bus, hiding up to 10 pedestrians from view. ThruView Assist™ gives transit operators a clear, high-resolution view beyond the A-pillar to improve visibility and help prevent left-hand turn, pedestrian strikes.
### A camera mounted outside the bus captures and transmits the view blocked by the A or B pillars on an in-cab display
[Download Brochure](https://www.safefleet.net/document/thruview-assist/)
## Keep pedestrians safe
### Give drivers the view beyond the pillar
Improve operator visibility and vehicle operation, reduce agency risk and increase pedestrian safety.
#### Reduce Accident Rates
Reduce blind spots caused by A/B pillars that account for more than 54% of collisions.
#### Improve Visibility
Virtually eliminate the blind spot by giving operators the view ‘beyond’ the A-pillar.
#### Effective Reduction in Risk
Adding ThruView Assist in combination with mirrors effectively reduces risk of collision.
### Improve driver visibility with a blind spot collision system
- **Great Views** Unlike other solutions in the market, the ThruView Assist delivers exceptional camera view orientation and aspect ratio settings.
- **Seamless driver experience** The driver experiences a seamless transition between views out the window and views displayed on the ThruView Assist monitor.

### [The Predictive Stop Arm®](https://www.safefleet.net/predictive-stop-arm/)
**Published:** October 23, 2025
**Author:** Janet Stolth
**Content:**
## Proactively protect students from stop arm violations
### Advanced technology to improve student safety during loading/unloading
Unlike other solutions on the market that rely on warning lights and ticketing stop arm violators, the Predictive Stop Arm helps prevent accidents from happening in the first place by assessing risk and warning students not to cross.
The Predictive Stop Arm uses patented radar and predictive analytics technology to monitor oncoming vehicle traffic and assess danger to students. When the system identifies a likely stop arm violation it warns students to ‘get back’ to keep them out of harm’s way.
### Protect students from illegal stop arm violations with the Predictive Stop Arm
[Download Brochure](https://www.safefleet.net/document/school-bus-predictive-stop-arm-brochure/)
## One more accident is one too many
### The quickest way to address risk to students outside the bus and to reach the goal of zero injury/fatalities is to alert the students directly and keep them out of harm’s way
#### INCREASED DANGER ZONE SAFETY
Bring the value of mirrors, video sensors, artificial intelligence and predictive analytics together to increase safety where students are most at risk – crossing the street to get to and from the bus.
#### WARN BUS DRIVERS AND STUDENTS DIRECTLY
Add another critical level of safety by directly alerting bus drivers and students that it's not safe to cross.
#### ANALYZE RISK WITH PATENTED RADAR AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Knowing when a stop-arm violation is likely to happen helps reduce injuries so students don't enter the roadway in the first place.
#### MINIMIZE DRIVER DISTRACTION
Artificial intelligence and predictive analytics help identify likely stop arm violations, while deep learning models trained on hours of pre-recorded video footage reduce the number of false alerts.
### Advanced Protection Features
- **Multi-level bus driver alerts** An in-cab display offers multi-level visual alerts and an audible alert for bus drivers.
- **Verbal warning to students** Loudspeakers mounted at the front of the bus play warning messages to students in danger.
- **Multi-lane traffic monitoring** Radar monitors up to 3 lanes of traffic for likely stop arm violations.
- **Three operational modes** Inactive, predictive & monitoring modes help minimize distraction and false alerts.
- **Customizable settings** Adjust factory pre-set radar settings or load custom warnings using a user-friendly Web UI. Multi-language support.

# PREVENTATIVE
## HEIGHTENED BUS AND STUDENT VISIBILITY
### Give drivers every opportunity to see the bus, to protect students, and to obey the laws.
#### Illuminated Stop Arm
Let drivers know the bus is stopped or stopping. Using a highly reflective decal and the word “stop” brightly backlit with LEDs, the arm is readable at 100 yards and visible at over 250 yards for increased student safety.
[Learn More About Illuminated Stop Arms](/safe-fleet-illuminated-stop-arm/)
#### Crossing Arm
Ensure constant line of sight between bus drivers and students for enhanced safety. When deployed, the crossing arm makes sure students remain 6 feet in front of the bus as they begin to cross the road.
[Learn More About Crossing Arms](/crossing-arms/)
#### 360° Vehicle Monitoring System
Eliminate blind spots and gain a full perimeter view around your vehicle with the inView360 HD system. Access stitched views from 4, 5, or 6 bird’s eye cameras for comprehensive coverage, ensuring visibility of every student and object in the vicinity to enhance perimeter safety.
[Learn More About 360° Vehicle Monitoring System](https://www.safefleet.net/360-around-vehicle-monitoring-system-for-school-bus/)
#### Driver Alert
Inform drivers behind the bus to stop and not pass. The Driver Alert Device, positioned on the back door of the bus, flashes "Caution – Stopping" when the bus slows down and its amber, 8-way lights are activated. It then displays "Stop Do Not Pass" when the bus's red lights are on and the stop arm is deployed.
[Learn More About Driver Alert](/driver-alert-sign/)
#### Dual View (Rear View) Mirror Monitor
Enhance visibility behind the bus and provide bus drivers with increased awareness where blind spots typically exist. The Dual View Mirror Monitor combines a rear-view mirror with an embedded rearview camera display, offering drivers a comprehensive view of both the inside length and immediate exterior of the bus, promoting student safety with a single rearview mirror solution.
[Learn More About Dual View Assist](/dual-view-assist/)
# PROACTIVE
## WARNING TO STUDENTS WHEN DANGER IS PRESENT
### Warn students of imminent danger – the only safety system on the market that actively works with students to help prevent harm, rather than relying solely on vehicle operators.
#### The Predictive Stop Arm® (PSA)
This Safe Fleet game changing solution uses radar and predictive analytics technology to scan three lanes of traffic up to 1,000 feet in both directions, assessing the likelihood of a vehicle stopping in time. If an illegal pass is anticipated, the PSA loudly emits an audible message to “Stop, Get Back,” providing students with 3-4 crucial seconds to step away from danger.
Safe Fleet is the only company to offer a predictive solution to reduce student risk during loading and unloading. While punitive actions take time to enact change, our proactive, predictive measures deliver immediate improvements to student safety the moment the Predictive Stop Arm is installed.
[Learn More About The Predictive Stop Arm](/predictive-stop-arm/)
*The Predictive Stop Arm adds an extra measure of safety to the students crossing the street.”*
##### Don Carter, Transportation Manager, St Lucie Public Schools
*This technology is the best thing I’ve seen in a long time. This tool will keep a child from being in a position where they are going to get hit.”*
##### Derrick Agate, Former Transportation Supervisor, Hopkins Public Schools
*It’s a chance for us to protect the children before they get hurt. All the other devices out there are just trying to catch the driver doing something wrong. With this, we have the opportunity to maybe save someone’s life.”*
##### Robert Downin, Transportation Director, Clarke Pleasant Community SD
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: No system can prevent all incidents. Inattentive drivers, weather, erratic student behavior, and other factors can inhibit detection and overall system performance. Drivers must always keep proper lookout.*
# RESPONSIVE
## ENFORCEMENT TO DETER FUTURE INCIDENTS
### Help enforce proper driver behavior by capturing and processing stop arm violations to issue citations and deter future incidents, ensuring law enforcement has comprehensive evidence to prevent repeat offenses.
#### The Safe Fleet Stop Arm Violation Enforcement System (SAVES).
Powered by a proven AI-backed engine and advanced algorithms, SAVES ensures enhanced accuracy in capturing evidence of illegal-passing violations with over 98% precision.
Utilizing strategically positioned cameras on the sides of the bus, including ALPR and context cameras, SAVES effectively delivers irrefutable proof of violations with a comprehensive evidence package.
By streamlining the capture of evidence and ticketing process, SAVES reinforces safe driving practices, deters risky behavior, and promotes a safer environment for students around the school bus.
[Learn More About SAVES](/ai-powered-stop-arm-violation-enforcement-system-saves/)
The Illegal Passing Suite is a government-supported, proven technology that is compatible with your existing systems.
While each of its components can function independently, their combined effectiveness works to reduce instances of injury or death in the school bus danger zone to zero – consistently.
Let's work toward zero fatalities on every bus journey!

# Get Compliant With New School Bus Perimeter Visibility Legislation
### Enhance Student Safety: Give Your Drivers a real-time view around the bus.
The Safe Fleet inView360HD™, Around Vehicle Monitoring System meets new school bus legislation requirements, reducing blind spots around the vehicle:
- Helping drivers detect children around the bus while it’s stopped or as it’s pulling away from the curb.
- Giving students an extra layer of safety everywhere outside the bus.
- Reducing risk and operational costs.
Get Started
# Protect Students Where They Are at Most Risk with a Safe Fleet Perimeter Visibility System
Blind spots are a big contributor to most low speed school bus fleet accidents. To this day, the [National School Bus Loading and Unloading Survey](https://www.ksde.gov/Portals/0/School%20Bus/Surveys/NSB-LUS-23-24%20web.pdf?ver=2024-11-17-093246-450) shows the school bus is responsible for 50% of student fatalities outside the bus.
School buses are also susceptible to minor ‘[fender benders](https://www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/sbreportfinal.pdf).’ Over the past 11 years, school buses have annually averaged 26,000 crashes. These can negatively impact a school bus fleet in costly insurance premiums, claim payouts, and even removing buses from circulation in more serious cases.
Both types of accidents are needless and easily avoided with the right school bus camera system.
### Enhance your fleet’s overall safety and prevent accidents before they occur—because the best accident is the one that never happens.
# The right vehicle safety technology can help you comply with Transport Canada Legislation and future-proof your fleet!
*The Safe Fleet Around Vehicle Monitoring system offers more features than any other system on the market including Support for up to 8 Cameras, 1080p High-Definition Camera Views and Recording ability*
## The Advantages of Recording
Set your school district up to capture and record events on and off the bus and access accident reconstruction footage to defend against claims. Record stop arm violations with an infraction camera and reduce the number of illegal school bus passbys. Our systems are designed to integrate with recorder technology, making your fleet safer and more efficient. Build the right camera system for your needs today or one step at a time. Either way, you are ready for the future. Standard bundles include:
4-Channel System 8-Channel System inView360HD Around Vehicle Monitoring System inView360HD Around Vehicle Monitoring System Front to Rear Camera View Front to Rear Camera View Stop Arm/Infraction Camera Stop Arm/Infraction Camera/2 Channels: Facing forward and facing back Driver/Stepwall Driver/Stepwell Forward Facing (Out the Windshield) Rear to Front Camera View Cross View Options
