Problem
Schools and parents often lack real-time visibility and safety controls over student transportation, leading to concerns about driver behavior, route deviations, and potential bullying or accidents during rides.
Solution
Metroride offers a connected school transport platform that equips each vehicle with live CCTV streaming, GPS location tracking, and geofencing to keep rides within designated zones. An SOS button and central vehicle immobilizer allow immediate intervention by a rapid‑response team if an incident occurs. RFID‑based on/off‑boarding records generate instant alerts to parents, confirming that children board the correct bus. The system also runs an AI engine that continuously evaluates driving patterns and assigns safety scores, promoting responsible driver conduct. All data are accessible through a central cockpit, giving schools and parents transparent oversight of every journey.
