ATWEC Technologies, Inc. a US-based technology company specializing in child safety, today announced the launch of its breakthrough vehicle cloud-based software solutions SafeBus LiveVue™ and SafeBus ETA+™, which enables parents of children being transported to know exactly where and when their child gets on or off the school bus safely, at home or at school.
These new child safety products will complement the Company’s current Child Reminder Systems™ line of patented vehicle devices and was developed by its wholly-owned subsidiary SafeBus Technologies, Inc. (WY), acquired by ATWT for cash and stock earlier this year, with closing due on May 31.
The Company will be conducting intensive market trials on school vehicles at three pilot daycare centers, one in Arkansas and two in Memphis, scheduled for install by April 29.
Parents can track both the precise location of the school bus, and its estimated time of arrival (or “ETA”), as well as have a live view of inside the bus, and receive instant text notifications from the bus verifying and confirming that their child safely got on/off the bus, simultaneously on their smartphone.
SafeBus President Stuart Barton said, “We have been working closely with our primary vendor to improve the system’s functionality, making it simple for drivers, and easy for parents to use. Now the kids simply get on the bus, and the technology does the rest.”
The SafeBus systems utilize proprietary software, along with an installed GPS module, a hi-tech camera, and an NFC reader, mounted on the bus dashboard, to record child passengers as they board or exit the bus. As the child’s backpack FOB is read, an instant text notification is sent to the child’s parents or guardian, providing positive feedback that their child is safely headed to the school or back home.
SafeBus has specialized in mobile “in-vehicle” IP wireless security solutions for the Education, Senior and Tourism markets, and has worked to develop a suite of unique products and services that will provide invaluable “peace of mind” for parents or guardians. The fit with ATWT’s child safety product line is obvious, and immediately provides customers with a lineup of much-needed safety devices.
Darnell Stitts, ATWEC’s President and CEO, was optimistic about the potential of the new systems. “As schools and day care centers begin to re-open and resume normal operations this year, we will be there, ready to equip their vehicles with the latest child safety technologies. Not only will we be going after new business, but our existing customer base has been eagerly demanding the tracking system with notifications, and we will be able to immediately upgrade our clients, beginning in 2nd Quarter.”For parents, ATWT is offering a much welcomed, user-friendly solution and smartphone app, thus providing the security of knowing the whereabouts of the school bus, and their children’s journey from home to school and back. Together, the products provide K-12 schools and day care centers additional child safety while keeping close track of their fleet, in an incredibly competitive market price.Barton continued, “All of us at SafeBus Technologies are excited to be a part of ATWT. Our combined efforts in both child and senior safety during transport is desperately needed. In these uncertain times, the safety of our loved ones is paramount. We will help bring ‘peace of mind’ to all of our clients.”
