School transportation in France is evolving rapidly, and the need for enhanced safety, real-time monitoring, and seamless attendance management has never been greater. With SmartBus, powered by AI-driven technology and advanced telematics, we’re redefining how students commute—bringing in a new era of efficiency and security for schools, parents, and transport operators.
1. AI-Powered Video Telematics: Elevating Safety Standards
Ensuring student safety goes beyond just tracking a bus. With AI-powered video telematics, SmartBus enables real-time monitoring of driver behavior, road conditions, and in-cabin activities. This proactive approach helps detect unsafe driving habits, fatigue, or distractions—preventing potential risks before they escalate.
2. Intelligent Attendance Management: From Simple to Cutting-Edge
Gone are the days of manually tracking student attendance on school buses. SmartBus offers a scalable attendance management system, catering to different levels of technology adoption:
? Manual Entry via Driver App – For schools preferring a traditional yet digital approach.
? QR Code Scanning – Quick and easy student check-ins via mobile scanning.
? RFID & Bluetooth Beacons – Hands-free student tracking for seamless automation.
? Facial Recognition – The most advanced, foolproof method to ensure the right student is on the right bus.
With these solutions, schools can reduce human error, ensure compliance, and provide parents with accurate updates.
3. Real-Time Alerts: No More Guesswork for Parents
One of the biggest concerns for parents is not knowing whether their child has safely boarded, reached school, or arrived home. In some cases, students mislead drivers by claiming a parent will pick them up—only to leave with friends, completely unaware to their parents. SmartBus eliminates this uncertainty with real-time notifications, ensuring transparency and peace of mind.
?? Boarding & Offboarding Alerts – Parents receive instant notifications when their child gets on or off the bus.
?? Arrival Updates – Automated alerts for school arrival and home drop-off.
?? Unauthorized Drop-off Prevention – Parents get notified if their child attempts to exit at an unapproved location.
This level of visibility and control ensures complete trust between schools, parents, and transport providers.

Whether in bustling cities like Paris or quieter regions, SmartBus provides scalable, adaptable, and future-proof solutions for every school transportation need.
