Glimpses of Car Spotter

The Real Challenge
While the school had well-defined policies for student transportation, the high volume of students and vehicles made it challenging to enforce protocols effectively during the pandemic.
- Student Assembly and Disbursement Issues: Coordinating the movement of 2,000 students across two shifts required a structured approach to avoid bottlenecks.
- Congestion at School Gates: At peak times, overcrowding posed safety risks and violated social distancing norms.
- Lack of Real-time Communication: Parents, students, and staff lacked a reliable system to stay updated on arrivals and departures.
- COVID-19 Safety Concerns: Without a controlled system, enforcing social distancing became increasingly difficult, raising health risks.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, the school needed a comprehensive, technology-driven solution and that’s when Provis Technologies came into play.
The Beginning of Transformation
The school's vision for a safer and more efficient student pick-up and drop-off system aligned seamlessly with Provis Technologies expertise. After thorough discussions, our team crafted a strategic plan to introduce Car Spotter, an intelligent, SaaS-based traffic management solution.
The goal was ambitious: build an automated system that would streamline student movement, provide real-time tracking, and eliminate congestion. Car Spotter was designed as a cloud-based platform integrated with mobile apps for security guards and a live tracking display on TV for better coordination.
With the vision in place, Provis Technologies initiated the project using an Agile development process to ensure timely delivery and adaptability. The journey unfolded in structured phases:
An intuitive interface was designed and developed to ensure accessibility for school administrators, security personnel, and parents.
A powerful System was built to track student arrival times, optimize the disbursement process, and improve overall traffic flow, using Vue.js and Laravel framework
A responsive and mobile-friendly interface was implemented, allowing school guards to easily access real-time student arrival notifications directly from their mobile devices, ensuring smooth handovers without the need for a dedicated app.
An additional Application was developed to display live tracking details on large TV screens in classrooms, the principal's office, and at the front gates.Â
The platforms underwent extensive testing to ensure seamless performance, reliability, and adherence to safety standards.
After thorough testing, the platform was deployed. The team provided ongoing support to ensure a smooth transition and addressed any initial challenges that arose post-launch.
