Experience Schools

District of Columbia Public Schools: As the local school district for our nation’s capitol in Washington D.C., DCPS faces unique challenges in transporting its students throughout the year. In order to optimize the operation of nearly 800 school buses over this sprawling urban city, DCPS enlisted the help of vehicle tracking and routing technologies from Radio Satellite Integrators and the Trapeze Group. RSI and Trapeze were brought in to immediately take over and replace a competitor’s routing and AVL solution that was not meeting the District’s needs. The new integrated solution now provides valuable operational data such as planned versus actual route performance as well as door and light/arm activity on the buses.

Baltimore City Public Schools:  RSI has installed a turnkey AVL system for the Baltimore City Public Schools. RSI was selected after a formal and extensive RFP and presentation process.  The system utilizes the GPRS public data network and tracks over 300 school buses.  On the back end, the system is integrated with the Trapeze routing and mapping interface.  The system also includes a Student Identification system utilizing barcode reader technology.  Additionally the system will incorporate Mobile Data Terminals for a driver interface to read trip and pick-up/drop-off information in real time.

Duval County Public Schools: Duval County Public Schools is the 15th largest school district in the country with an enrollment of more than 155,000 students. Mainly consisting of the City of Jacksonville, DCPS contracted STA Inc. to handle its student transportation services. STA uses a combination of Trapeze software and RSI’s AVL solution to track nearly 300 district school buses.  Using the AVL system provided by RSI and Trapeze Software, the integrated solution provides valuable data to transportation operations such as doors sensors and also allows them to compare planned versus actual route performance.

Yale University Transportation: As one of the most prestigious universities in the entire world, Yale University located in New Haven, Connecticut demands the best technology solutions for its transportation needs.  RSI and Trapeze have implemented a state of the art Intelligent Transportation System for Yale University’s student transportation fleet.  Combing Tablet MDCs, MDTs, AVL, Two-Way Radio, Routing & Scheduling, and IVR, the RSI and Trapeze solution allows Yale University to accommodate both scheduled and on-demand pick ups and drop offs.
