AI Safety Cameras

Improve Driver Safety, Student Protection, and Transportation Accountability

School transportation departments are responsible for safely transporting students while protecting drivers, buses, and the district from unnecessary risk. When incidents occur, transportation leaders need access to accurate information, video evidence, and safety data to make informed decisions.

TAG School Bus integrates AI-powered road-facing and driver-facing camera technology to provide transportation departments with greater visibility into bus activity, driver behavior, student safety, and transportation incidents.

Using advanced camera technology and artificial intelligence, transportation personnel can proactively identify safety concerns, improve driver performance, investigate incidents, and maintain a safer transportation environment for students and staff.

Whether managing a small fleet or hundreds of buses, TAG provides transportation leaders with the tools needed to improve safety, reduce liability, strengthen accountability, and support driver coaching initiatives.

Road-Facing Safety Camera

AI-Powered Road Monitoring and Driver Assistance

The road-facing camera does far more than simply record video. Using advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision technology, the system continuously analyzes roadway conditions, traffic patterns, speed limits, work zones, and driving behavior to help improve transportation safety.

The camera actively monitors the environment in front of the bus and identifies unsafe driving situations that may increase transportation risk. Transportation departments gain actionable safety insights that can be used to improve driver performance, reduce accidents, and strengthen student safety.

Traffic Compliance Monitoring

The system helps identify driving behaviors that may increase transportation risk, including speeding events, missed traffic controls, and unsafe driving actions.

BENEFITS:

Improve transportation accountability
Improve compliance
Reduce preventable incidents
Improve safety performance
Support driver development

Accident Documentation & Driver Protection

Video footage provides transportation departments with objective evidence when accidents, roadway incidents, or disputes occur.

The road-facing camera helps document transportation activity and can protect drivers when false claims arise.

BENEFITS:

Faster incident investigations
Improved documentation
Better claim resolution
Reduced liability exposure
Improved driver protection

Stop-Arm Violation Monitoring

School bus stop-arm violations remain one of the greatest threats to student safety.

The road-facing camera can capture video evidence of vehicles that illegally pass stopped school buses while students are loading or unloading.

BENEFITS:

Improve student safety
Enhance violation documentation
Support investigations
Improve accountability
Provide valuable evidence when needed

Driver-Facing Safety Camera

Improve Driver Safety and Accountability

The driver-facing camera uses artificial intelligence to monitor driver behavior and identify activities that may increase transportation risk.

Transportation departments can use safety event information to support coaching programs, improve driver performance, and reduce preventable incidents.

Driver-Facing Camera Features

Distracted driving detection
Cell phone usage detection
Drowsy driving alerts
Driver inattention monitoring
Seat belt compliance monitoring
AI-generated safety events
