Globally, school buses—essential for students’ daily commutes—have long been a major concern for schools, parents, and education authorities regarding their safe operation. To ensure the safe operation of school buses, the Magnetic North School Bus Solution has been developed. Designed specifically for kindergartens and primary and secondary schools, this system leverages school buses as its platform and deeply integrates technologies such as positioning, video surveillance, onboard and offboard attendance tracking, and vital signs sensing. It not only enables real-time detection of speeding and overloading, verifies driver identities, but also intelligently detects whether any students have been left behind in the vehicle—offering a range of advanced safety features.

 

Solution Topology 

This solution establishes a multi-faceted information-sharing and safety assurance community involving key stakeholders such as regulatory authorities (education and transportation agencies), school administrators, vehicle operators, and student families. By leveraging technology and streamlining processes, it builds an intelligent, closed-loop school bus safety management system that covers all essential elements—people, vehicles, roads, and management—effectively enhancing student travel safety and solidifying the campus’s traffic safety defenses.

Core product 

Among these, the core component enabling the critical “anti-trapping” function is the school bus life-detection sensor independently developed by Magnetic North Technology. This product, which integrates millimeter-wave radar with multiple sensing technologies, boasts advantages such as high performance, compact size, and lightweight design. It can accurately detect the presence of living beings within designated areas inside the vehicle, making it particularly well-suited for identifying scenarios where children have been left behind.

The system is equipped with advanced data analysis algorithms that can perform real-time, intelligent analysis of the collected vital sign signals, quickly determining whether any personnel remain inside the vehicle. It then promptly alerts relevant personnel via audible and visual alarms, effectively preventing safety incidents caused by children being left behind in vehicles.

 

Scheme advantages 

Local intervention: Upon detecting that a child has been left behind in the vehicle, the vehicle’s external audio and visual alarm system will automatically activate to alert nearby pedestrians to take manual intervention measures. Within a specified range around the vehicle, people can clearly notice the school bus’s abnormal situation and take appropriate manual actions (including approaching the vehicle to check on the child, directly calling emergency services, opening the doors, or opening the windows).

Remote intervention: After the life detector sensor detects that a child has been left behind in the vehicle, it uploads an alarm message to the central management platform. Platform administrators can then obtain relevant information such as the license plate number, vehicle location, and in-vehicle video footage, and directly contact the school bus driver or caregiver to take further action.

The Magnetic North school bus  solution is dedicated to providing all-around protection for students’ safety during their commutes. This solution has been widely adopted in both domestic and international markets, with extensive use in several countries across the Middle East. Furthermore, it has established strategic partnerships with local regulatory agencies and has successfully integrated with their oversight platforms.

A safe school bus is about more than just "shuttling kids to and from school"—it’s about "safeguarding" them. Together with schools and parents, Magnetic North Technology joins forces to ensure every step of a child’s journey toward healthy growth is securely protected.
