Everything in transport management

Three powerful features that make school transport safer, smarter, and more efficient.

Automatically re-routes when students are on leave — saving fuel
Parents get live ETA and arrival alerts on their phone
Admins can monitor all routes from a single dashboard
Problem solved: No more parents waiting indefinitely at bus stops or calling the office for ETAs

How smart transport works

From route planning to leave-aware optimization — the entire transport workflow in one seamless system.

01

Plan routes & assign fleet

Set up routes, assign vehicles and drivers, configure stop sequences and timings before the term starts.

02

Run daily trips with live tracking

Drivers start trips in the app, log student boardings, and the system broadcasts live location to parents and admins.

03

Leave-aware optimization

When leave is approved, routes adjust automatically. No fuel wasted on unnecessary stops, and parents still get accurate ETAs.

Unique to SchoolWay

Leave-Aware Smart Transport

When a student is approved for leave, the bus route is dynamically recomputed to skip their stop. No fuel wasted, no unnecessary detours. The driver's app updates instantly, and the stop is marked "On Leave" — faded and skipped until the student returns.

Dynamic Route Change

Route updates automatically when leave is approved

Driver App Syncs

Driver sees updated stops in real time

Live ETA Shared

Parents still get accurate arrival estimates

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about SchoolWay's transport management features.

How does leave-aware routing work?
When a parent submits a leave request and it's approved by the principal, the attendance register is updated and the bus route is dynamically recomputed to skip the student's stop. The driver's app updates instantly showing the stop as faded and skipped.
Can parents track the bus in real time?
Yes. Parents see a live map showing the bus location, upcoming stops, and estimated arrival time. They receive a WhatsApp notification when the bus is approaching their stop.
What happens if a student misses the bus?
The driver marks the student as not boarded in the app. The school admin is notified, and a WhatsApp alert is sent to the parent so they know the child needs alternate transport.
Can I assign multiple buses to one route?
Yes. The fleet registry supports multiple vehicles per route. You can assign primary and backup buses, swap vehicles based on maintenance schedules, and track occupancy across the fleet.
