Innovative Technology For Transportation
Introduction. The purpose of this presentation to AESA members is to examine and identify how the activation of the Soteria feature set (real-time adaptive speeding, reckless driving, accident and diagnostic alerts) will enhance the safety, savings and efficiency of the school bus fleets across the United States. This report also provides an example of the detailed technical data recorded through the Soteria devices in live-time. Safety, Savings, and Simplicity. Innovative Technology for Transportation, with the results from completed pilot programs, has validated the increase in overall pupil transportation safety as well as the savings associated with decreased insurance, fuel and diagnostic costs directly linked with Soteria’s implementation.
The Figures. 480K Total number of school buses operated National School Bus Transportation Statistics 23.6M Total number of K-12 public school students transported by school buses each day 48% Percentage of K-12 public school students transported by school buses 3.27B Total number of miles driven by school buses each year
The Problem.
Let’s end the statistics. +10K 86% $61K 134 According to the NHTSA, 134 The Department of Transportation The National Safety Council On average, more than 10,000 people die in school bus related reports that 86% of automotive reported that the average cost of an injuries result from school bus accidents each year accidents occur from speeding, automotive related injury is accidents over the course of a year reckless driving, and cellular $61,500 distractions
The Solution.
Introducing Soteria. Accessible Soteria is device and software platform that interfaces with vehicles and fleet directors. Compliant with vehicles manufactured after 1996, Soteria can be installed into cars, trucks, white vans, and school buses. Proactive The ability to simultaneously interpret high-level data and prevent leading causes of accidents in real time. Furthermore, customers can select which features and parameters they want to activate in order to best manage their student transportation operations. Transcending Proven, patented technology that either mitigates or prevents speeding, cellular distractions, and reckless driving. Data generated from pilot programs across the nation validate the safety and savings performance of Soteria in comparison with existing market competitors.
Competitor Comparison
41 Total buses piloted (OBDII and J1939) 33 Total number of school days piloted Pilot programs. 70,000 Total miles driven thus far An overview of data from select pilot programs.
5,161 Speeding events driving more than 5 MPH over the speed limit Total 14.3 Hours spent driving more than 5 MPH over the Performance speed limit Data 6,090 Rapid accelerations 4,653 Hard braking events
Analysis of speeding events. Based on aggregate data generated during pilot programs in 2018. 889 20% 14.8 4,450 Speeding events between 5 Total hours spent speeding Percentage of time the school Speeding events between 10 MPH and 9 MPH above 5 MPH buses were speeding between MPH and 15 MPH 10-15 MPH
Upcoming Features. Speed Prevention. With our speed prevention feature, fleet administrators can activate an adaptive speed governor. Once this is set, the vehicle can only to accelerate to the speed threshold they have selected. This adapts to each road to ensure drivers are always driving the speed limit. Select Cellular Access. Soteria allows fleet administrators to completely block access to a phone while the vehicle is in motion, or Select Cellular Access Speed Prevention choose the specific apps that can be used, such as Speed Prevention & Alerts Ability to stop access to the phone or select apps Alerts can be sent and a maximum speed can An adaptive maximum speed can be set navigation and the call feature. be set so a driver never goes over that. that cannot be used while driving not to be exceeded by the driver
Partnership We are proud partners of AESA, with a goal to create a safer transportation environment for children around the country.
Partnership and Testimony. “How can I express in words what it means to give schools the opportunity to see inside the community of a bus ride from a different angle. To make a bus safer and more efficient is by far one of the most important pieces of information a school can have ... Thank you for thinking of all the tomorrows – how to keep our kids safe. It matters.” Jane Wray, CESA Purchasing Director
Value Provided by Soteria Safety Savings Simplicity The U.S. Department of Transportation Soteria leads to significant savings in operational The implementation process for reports that 86% of automotive costs . Research produced by the U.S. Department Soteria is seamless and completed accidents occur from speeding, reckless of Energy shows that by driving the speed limit, within seconds . Regardless of the size driving, and cellular-distractions.
