How does GPS Pilot school bus tracking work?

Each school bus carries a GPS Pilot tracker that reports its position every 10 seconds. Parents can follow their child's bus on their phone as it approaches, while the school sees every bus, route and driver live, with alerts for overspeeding, leaving the route and arriving at school or a stop.

Questions

School Buses tracking FAQ

Can parents see only their own child's bus?

Yes. GPS Pilot permissions go down to a single vehicle, so each parent can be given a view of just their child's bus, or a live link to it.

Will the school be alerted if a bus overspeeds?

Yes. You set a speed limit and GPS Pilot alerts the school the moment a bus exceeds it.

Can we know when a bus reaches school?

Yes. A geofence around the school campus triggers an alert as each bus arrives and leaves.

How quickly is a new bus set up?

A technician installs the tracker in about 20 minutes, and the bus appears on the school's map the same day.
