Use Student to monitor student transit and assure safe passage and accounting of each student from the time the student boards the vehicle to when the student exits the vehicle.

 

This system is able to track the following events revolving around each student and vehicle:

 

•If a student boarded and exited the vehicle at the correct stop

•Identify the location and time when the student boarded/exited the vehicle at the wrong stop

•Alert if the student did not board the vehicle

•Alert if the student did not exit the vehicle

•Notification that the vehicle either arrived early or late to a stop

•Alert that an unknown card was swiped  

 

A display of the number of vehicles deployed on a route can be reviewed.

At the top of the summary table is a Search window that enables users to find a specific student or vehicle.

Note that the search results include only students and vehicles that have activity on the currently selected date. The desired date is selected from the drop-down calendar above the Search box. When a search is unsuccessful (i.e., bus 10), a message appears indicating 'No results were found.'

 

Route Summary and Map

 

When an individual Route is selected, the details of the route of the selected bus is displayed on the map (i.e. STRIDE_165). Each Stop displayed on the map is represented on the Timeline displayed above the map as depicted in the screen sample below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Route – Identity of the route.

 

Schedule – Identifies the type of user-defined route (i.e., Morning).

 

Vehicle – Identity of the vehicle deployed on the route.

 

Date – Month/Day/Year the route is run.

 

Student Name – Identity of the student. Clicking a Student Name entry displays boarding and departure details for that selected name on the summary grid and map.

 

Pickup – The address of the stop on the route that the student is scheduled to board the bus.

 

Dropoff – The address of the stop on the route that the student is scheduled to depart the bus.

 

Status – Indicates the location and the phase of transport of the student.

 

 

The colors of the route markers represent the status of the transit of the students associated with that particular stop. A green map marker denotes a normal condition in that the students are in transit as planned (i.e., Left correct stop). A gray map marker indicates a planned stop (i.e., Departure Planned).   Hovering over a map marker identifies the location of the stop represented by that marker.  A green route markerindicates the beginning of the route. The red route markerindicates the location where the route ends.

 

Route Summary Symbols

 

A ring on the Route Summary represents a stop the vehicle is scheduled to make on its route. The color of the ring indicates the status with the stop. A green ring indicates a completed stop. An unreported or wrong stop is identified with a red ring. A stop that is scheduled to be made, planned, is identified with a gray ring. The gold arrow indicates the student is on route to drop off. The green arrow indicates the student was dropped off. A gray arrow indicates the student is waiting to be picked up.

 

Hovering over the rings opens a flag that identifies the location and the status of the stop.

 

 

 

 

A warning indicator appears when a route has run past its scheduled time.  A gray calendar icon indicates the route is scheduled. A bus icon indicates the route is in progress. A check mark icon indicates the route is completed.

 

 

Clicking on a route on the Route Summary opens a Route Summary for the selected route.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The progress of the vehicle running its route is depicted on the map. Click the button to return to the Daily Route Summary.

 

Timeline

 

The Timeline appears above the map when an individual route is selected on the Route Summary.

 

Hovering over a route marker on the Timeline displays the address of the stop. The green or gray route marker identifies whether that stop is Done or Planned .  

 

 

 

When the Timeline is not active because the route has not started, hovering over a route marker (gray) opens a pop-up window listing the location of the planned stop.

 

 

Clicking on a specific marker on the bar opens a roster with the names and the status of the passengers associated with the planned boarding or being dropped off at the stop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Route in Progress

       

Clicking on one of the vehicles in the Route list opens the Timeline and map for the selected Route.

 

 

 

 

Click on an individual route (i.e., STRIDE_734) from the active Route Summary.

 

 

The Route Summary evolves as the status of the student roster changes from planned (gray) to correct stop (green). The status arrows evolve from gray (waiting to be picked up) to gold (on route to dropoff) to green (dropped off).

 

Forgotten Card

 

When a student forgets a boarding card, the MDT accounts for the student being absent or not swiping the card will be omitted and identified with a Student Forgot Card icon in the Status column of the student.

 

On the Route Summary, the student who forgot the card is identified in the status column and a forgotten card is indicated on the map depicted in the sample above.

 

When clicking on the name of the student who forgot its boarding card, the location where the student boarded without a card is identified on the adjoining map.

 

 

The student row high lighted in pink indicates the student missed having its boarding card scanned when exiting the bus.

 

 

 

 

Alerts

 

When there is an issue or Alert, it is highlighted on the Schedule. Clicking on the Alert on the Schedule reveals a pop-up message on the map that defines the Alert (i.e., a student boarding at an unscheduled stop).
