The local problem
What school transport in Douala asks of software.
- School transport in Yaoundé and Douala alike starts early, and parents want to know the moment their child is aboard.
- A list on paper does not show which child was missed at which stop, or when.
- Routes have to be redrawn whenever a family moves or a school changes its times.
- A school wants a record of every run, not a driver's memory of it.
How Trayvar answers it
How Trayvar runs it.
- Each child taps an NFC card on the driver's phone to board, and the pickup is recorded with its time and GPS location (school bus attendance system).
- Parents get a WhatsApp message at pickup, when the bus is close and at drop-off (parent notifications).
- Route planning sequences every route against vehicle capacity and bell times, overnight and by itself on Growth and Scale.
- The Live screen shows every route as it runs and counts any child not confirmed aboard.
The local rules
Road transport and the Ministry of Transport.
- Cameroon's secured road transport documents, transport licences and approvals for road transport operators among them, sit with the Minister in charge of Transport (Prime Minister's decree of June 2020 on secured transport documents, articles 2 and 5).[1]
- Confirm with the Ministry of Transport what a vehicle carrying schoolchildren needs before you start.
