Solution provides precise timekeeping and
navigation for school transportation systems
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) today announced at the
School Transportation News (STN) Expo in Reno, Nevada, the
introduction of Tyler Drive™, an innovative software and hardware
solution that turns the school bus into a mobile transportation
management terminal.
Tyler Drive is the first solution to provide school bus drivers
with turn-by-turn directions that keep the driver on the planned
route; it ensures the driver services each stop along the route
even if a turn or stop is missed. Tyler Drive also manages student
ridership, employee timekeeping, and mandated pre- and post-trip
vehicle inspections. All of this is integrated in real time with
the Tyler transportation solution at use in the district,
Versatrans Routing & Planning® or Tyler Traversa®. This
on-board solution closes the gaps in student transportation, making
it easy to acclimate new or substitute drivers to unfamiliar
routes, helping to provide complete documentation for Affordable
Care Act reporting and state reimbursement, and stemming the losses
caused by outdated timekeeping software. The system comes loaded on
a semi-rugged tablet with 4G LTE connectivity specifically designed
to withstand the rigors of the school bus environment.
“Tyler Drive helps districts deal with some of the major issues
challenging transportation departments today like driver shortages
and reporting compliance,” said Ted Thien, senior vice president
and general manager for Tyler’s transportation group. “We’re
excited to officially debut our solution at the STN Expo, alongside
other revolutionary technology from Tyler for the school
transportation space.”
Through integration with Tyler’s student transportation routing
and planning solutions, Tyler Drive is able to provide the most
comprehensive and reliable route navigation available,
including:
- Accurate navigation: The
detailed map shows the highlighted route and provides audio and
visual step-by-step instructions to reach the next scheduled stop.
Route data can be imported directly from either Versatrans or
Traversa. Tyler Drive’s navigation feature reduces the effort of
training new drivers and processing route changes. Routes changes
can be processed at the transportation office then pushed over the
air to the tablet in real time.
- Rerouting capabilities: The
device helps drivers handle unanticipated road closures or missed
stops by providing alternate, real time routing to the planned
destination, while maintaining route integrity with safety policies
such as right-side routing and walk-to-stop distances.
- Student identification and
support: As the bus arrives at the scheduled stop, Tyler Drive
displays the students boarding or disembarking, as well as any
special student support information, along with their photo,
address, grade and school name. Drivers can use the built-in touch
screen or the system can be integrated with scan technology
creating a digital record of when and where the student entered or
exited the vehicle.
- Fewer driver distractions: Tyler
Drive eliminates the need for paper maps and student lists. The
“Mobile Lock” option allows the screen to be blocked while the bus
is in motion. Drivers can rely on the audio instructions to reach
the next stop.
In addition, Tyler Drive prompts drivers to take state-mandated
breaks and requires drivers to document them, which helps districts
track full-time and part-time employees for Affordable Care Act
reporting and state reimbursement.
STN Expo attendees can see Tyler Drive demonstrations at booth
#254 in the exhibit hall at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno.
Additionally, Tyler will be demonstrating the product at the STN
“Ride and Drive” events on Tuesday, July 26 (7 a.m.–10:30 a.m. PT)
and Wednesday, July 27 (8 a.m.–1 p.m. PT). To schedule a meeting,
