DANGEROUSREALITY
According to the NHTSA, 21 children under the age of 19 are injured or killed each year as pedestrians getting on and off buses.
1,151 deaths have occurred, since statistics have been kept, with 40% or 441 coming from motorists illegally passing school buses.
One half (50%) of all school age pedestrians killed while loading and unloading a bus are between the ages of 5 and 7.
RECENTACCIDENTS
During the 2011/2012 school year, on average, four children were injured or killed each month in the United States: September 2012- Houston , TX: 11-year-old neighbor Monday as she was waiting for a school bus near
her home

• Exterior camera housing is installed on the bus to monitor up to five lanes of traffic
• Optional internal cameras are installed to manage safety hazards inside the school bus
• Data, including video and still images of license plates and vehicles, is securely transmitted to a central server where it undergoes a triple verification process.
• Once evaluated against city-authorized criteria, we provide law enforcement with a comprehensive evidence package to ultimately determine whether a violation occurred.
• We print and mail notices for violations after approval by law enforcement.
• Automation software records all “events” based upon the activation of yellow lights.
• Motion detection software is used to identify potential violations
HOW ITWORKS
LEADING-EDGETECHNOLOGY
Safety camera systems equipped with industry-leading SMARTcam™ software, providing unmatched
functionality and flexibility. Cameras are unobtrusive, and easily installed and
operated on any school bus.
Cameras can capture multiple viewpoints across multiple lanes, even in low light or poor weather conditions
System automatically detects vehicles in the violation zone – no action is required by the bus driver
SMARTscene™ full-motion video system provides situational awareness before and after each incident
SECUREDATACAPTURE
Camera systems instantly capture a variety of data law enforcement needs to effectively evaluate incidents and
determine whether violations occurred, such as: Hi-resolution still images, including a wide angle image
of the incident scene and a zoomed image of the license plate
12 to 16 seconds of HD video detailing the incident
Date, time, location and bus route of each incident
All data is digitally signed, encrypted and secured at the moment of capture. It’s immediately transmitted to a central processing server, preventing interception and manipulation of the evidence while ensuring the highest level of protection to the chain of custody.
VIOLATIONPROCESSING
Triple Verification: All incident data undergoes a comprehensive, triple verification review from our in-house processing specialists. Each incident is reviewed three times by three different specialists prior to submitting evidence packages to law enforcement.
Custom Criteria: Each client can determine the factors for processing specialists review – we don’t have a one-size-fits-all approach.
In-House Mailroom Services: Unlike competitors, all printing and mailing of documents related to violations are done in-house. No disruption of the chain of custody, and we maintain control of all data throughout the violation process.
VIOLATORSUPPORTSERVICES
Call Center: Multi-lingual call center available 11 hours a day, five days a week, providing the public with an avenue to get their questions answered. Some 24,000 calls are received monthly – and nearly 98% of those calls can be handled without the need for local law enforcement involvement.
Online Support: www.PhotoNotice.com where violators can view the images and video associated with their violations, and make payments.
