The following is a detailed introduction to the main functions and features of the system:
1、 Main functions
Card verification:
Students need to hold a special campus card or student card for card verification.
The card reader reads the card information and compares it with the preset student information in the system to verify the student's identity and riding permission.
Real time reminder:
After the student swipes the card, the system can immediately send a notice to the parents via SMS or WeChat (parents need to pay attention to the relevant official account) to inform them that they have got on or off the bus.
SMS reminders usually support one mobile phone number to receive, while WeChat reminders can support multiple people to receive synchronously, improving the timeliness and coverage of information.
Data statistics and analysis:
The system can automatically record the card swiping situation of each school bus, including the number of passengers, boarding and alighting time, etc., and generate statistical reports.
These data help schools monitor and analyze the operation of school buses, optimize school bus scheduling and management.
Detention reminder:
The system will automatically compare the data of boarding and disembarking, and once a student is found to be stranded, it will promptly send a reminder to the driver or caregiver through WeChat.
At the same time, the display screen of the card reader will also show the number of people in the car in real time to prevent the occurrence of student detention incidents.
Real name system management:
All student cards are managed using real name authentication, and when swiping, the card will display the student's name to ensure the accuracy of their identity information.
If students forget to bring their cards or lose their cards, they can report and replace them through a specific process.
Bidirectional card swiping function:
Support two-way card swiping function for parents of students. Students swipe their cards to notify parents to prepare for pick-up and drop off, and parents swipe their cards to complete the handover procedures with the school bus company.

2、 Technical features
Facial recognition technology (some high-end systems):
Some advanced school bus card swiping verification systems also integrate facial recognition technology, which captures students' facial information through cameras and compares it for verification, further improving the accuracy and security of identity verification.
Multiple communication methods:
The system supports multiple communication methods, including 2.4GHz WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, 4G LTE networks (some support 5G debugging), etc., to ensure the stability and timeliness of data transmission.
Scalability:
The system supports secondary development and customized services, and can be expanded and customized according to the specific needs of the school.
Durability and adaptability:
Card swiping machines are usually made of high-quality materials and processes, with waterproof, dustproof, earthquake resistant and other characteristics, suitable for various harsh school bus operating environments.
3、 Application effect
Improve security: By implementing strict identity verification and real-time reminder functions, unrelated personnel are effectively prevented from taking the school bus, ensuring the safety of students.
Improving efficiency: Automated data statistics and analysis functions reduce the workload of management personnel and improve the efficiency of school bus operations.
Enhance communication between home and school: The real-time reminder function allows parents to timely understand their students' boarding and alighting situations, enhancing communication and trust between home and school.

In summary, the student school bus card swiping verification system is an efficient, safe, and convenient solution for school bus management, which is of great significance for improving the safety and efficiency of school bus operations.

Whether a bus is equipped with one or two card readers mainly depends on the fare calculation method of the route: single-fare routes usually only require passengers to tap their cards once when boarding, so one card reader is sufficient; while distance-based fare routes require passengers to tap their cards both when boarding and alighting to calculate the actual trip cost, hence two card readers are needed.
