Child Safety

Child Check Button

All buses have a Child Check Button located at the rear of the bus. This is used to confirm that no student has been left behind on the bus.

CCTV

All buses are installed with internal and external video surveillance systems to monitor employee and student behaviour. CCTV provides visibility of all students and allows to report or investigate incidents immediately.

STS App

The STS App provides parents with the ability to monitor their child’s bus location. The App is an easy-to-use platform that allows parents to log on and view real time information.

Route Optimisation

STS has introduced a new route management software that will improve student bus routes through optimisation, with the focus to reduce journey times.

GPS Tracking

STS fleet is fitted with Global Positioning Systems for real time monitoring of the bus movement. This advanced level of vehicle tracking ensures the safety of all students on board and assists the team in developing and optimising routes and journey times.

Motion Sensors

The installation of passive motion sensors provides further levels of assurance by alerting the driver if any student is still on board the bus.

RFID Student Tracking

All students are issued with RFID cards that are used to track when they get on and off the bus. The data collected feeds directly back to STS Operations Control Centre (OCC) which tracks student log reports.

Alert Button

All buses have an Alert Button installed on the dashboard in case of an emergency. The alert button sends an immediate alert to STS 24-hour OCC, with the bus and driver details.

Driver Fatique Camera (POC)

The live camera captures driving habits to identify behaviour such as eye blink rate, mobile phone use and oral intake.
