When a vehicle illegally passes a school bus with its red lights flashing, a camera on the bus captures the violation, including the car's license plate. The footage, along with GPS and time data, is securely sent to a cloud system, where artificial intelligence (AI) helps identify possible violations. A trained safety specialist then reviews the footage, and if it shows a potential violation, an evidence package is created for law enforcement, including the video, vehicle details, and GPS information, per state law.
Law enforcement reviews the evidence and issues a citation to the vehicle owner if the instance is deemed a violation. The owner is mailed a notice with instructions for payment, which can be made online, by mail, or in person. Vehicle owners can also contest the violation through the local court system.
Data shows that over 95% of drivers don’t contest the violation after seeing video evidence, and more than 90% of first-time violators do not reoffend. Check out the graphic below for an overview of how the program works:
