School Zones

OUR DATA PRODUCTS: School Safety Zones

School Safety Zones are digital geofences to increase safety on the road, reduce probability of accidents and avoid traffic congestion.

A School Zone is an area surrounding a school built to prioritize the safety of students, particularly when they commute to and from school. It typically encompasses the school grounds and extends to neighboring streets, sidewalks, bus stops and crosswalks where children are likely to be present.

GeoJunxion BV developed dedicated algorithms to create School Zones translating them into geolocalized data and advanced geofences. These areas can be utilized by governmental authorities and municipalities to define and refine School Zones and School Streets enforced by law. School Zones can also be utilized to notify drivers in navigation apps as well as for planning and route optimization in fleet management and transport & logistics solutions.

Navigation Apps

It is important to include school zones into navigation apps to ensure drivers avoid areas around schools during opening and closing times, when those areas are expected to be crowded with vulnerable pedestrians. With the implementation of such geofences, navigation apps can provide more refined routes or directions, avoid traffic congestion, reduce the probability of accidents and prevent possible sanctions.

Fleet Managment

A fleet management system is a crucial tool for businesses that rely on vehicle transportation for their operations. By including school zones in a fleet management system, businesses can have access to information on these restricted areas, allowing them to plan their routes accordingly and avoid any delays or disruptions. This not only benefits the businesses but also ensures the safety of students and the smooth flow of traffic in such areas. Therefore, integrating school zones into a fleet management system is crucial for efficient and responsible vehicle operations.

Transport & Logistics

Transport & Logistics services play a crucial role in providing guidance and support for drivers. It is vital to include school zones in route planning to ensure accurate and efficient guidance for drivers. Without this information, drivers might be driven into congested areas with a high-density of vulnerable pedestrians and cars waiting for students. By incorporating school zones into their systems, transport & logistics companies can plan the routes of their drivers accordingly and avoid any disruptions during school opening and closure times, as well as avoiding possible sanctions, optimizing their time to destinations with consequent cost reductions.
