VentureGPS Vehicle Tracking Systems; access, track, locate or select summary reports from any Internet access point, with simple intuitive user controls. This is what a VLS (Vehicle Location System) w/Active GPS was meant to be, without all the hassles of software, constant software updates, user required interactions and updates.
The Primary Problems of Bus GPS Location & Distress Devices:
- The problem with many competing bus tracking or VLS (Vehicle Location Systems) is that they are tied
to the bus video system or 2-way radio system. Those designing, developing and manufacturing these
products are often working in a vacuum that overlooks the basic operating parameters and actual application
for their intended purposes.
- The first likely casualty of a bus hijacking or assault, would likely be the method the driver has at hand to communicate for help, so there goes the bus 2-way radio communication and the ability of any GPS
bus location, speed and heading information that might have been provided through the 2-way radio medium.
- The second likely casualty will be the bus video camera system and DVR as it is unlikely any perpetuating a nefarious and obscene violation of humanity would also not wish to be document doing so by possible live
broadcast to the law enforcement community via wireless transmission. So there goes the bus video system,
built in wireless communication and the ability of any GPS bus location, speed and heading information that
might have been provided through the bus video system medium.
- When taking measures are sought to protect against the worst case scenario of a school bus hijacking, it
would be wise to select a covert, stand alone system that is independent of the 2 most obvious means to
trans mitt GPS location or communicate with the authorities.
The Primary Solutions For Bus GPS Location & Distress Devices:
- Covert systems are the most likely to be functional after those looking to disable such devices have made their search. Knowledge is power and should be provided on a need to know basis. Meaning the best system to track buses in with a system that few even know exists! What they cannot see, and do not know, can often go undetected and provide invaluable information to the administration of the district as well as the law enforcement personnel in charge of dealing with the situation in order to preserve the safety of those bus passengers.
- Independent stand alone systems that are not tied to bus video systems, nor the 2-way radio communication system, so that the information it can provide, can survive the most predictable efforts to disable or cut off the drivers ability to communicate using the bus 2-way radio or the bus video system that could have the ability to wireless stream data to a central office.
