School Zone Flashing For Bus and Car Driver Alerts Goes High Tech

M2M/IoT leader Numerex has announced its machine-to-machine (M2M) solution for schools nationwide that provides remote connectivity to school zone flashing signals for enhancing student safety, especially in harsh weather conditions.

Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school flasher signals are typically updated manually by personnel at each school.

The M2M solution from Numerex and its reseller partner RTC enables remote, two-way communication between the school district’s central traffic office and an embedded electronic device in the flasher signal.

In the event of harsh weather conditions or early dismissal, the flasher schedule can be changed on the fly district-wide in one simple update, freeing school personnel to help children enter and exit the school safely.
