Leveraging their expertise as leaders in the Internet of Things (IoT), Vodafone Qatar has equipped all of the 60 buses of the Shafallah Center for Persons with Disability with Vodafone’s ‘Smart Bus’ solution including fleet management and video surveillance, to help make the children’s journeys safer and more efficient.
The Smart Bus Solution via Vodafone’s Fleet Management product tracks the buses locations, driver behaviour and provides real-time traffic data and navigation for shorter journeys.The tracking portal is accessed by the Shafallah Center through the Internet or on a mobile phone and the telematics tracking device sends event reports to the Center via e-mail and pop-up signals.
Via the Vodafone Video Surveillance product each bus is equipped with a smart IP camera that records all of the trips and enables the Center to access any camera in real-time via the web portal. The live streaming feed is transmitted via Vodafone’s world class high speed network which is fully secure andencrypted.
Mohammed al-Yafei, head (Public Sector) at Vodafone Qatar said, “We are honoured that the Shafallah Center has chosen Vodafone as their technology partner to help keep more than 600 children safe. It gives us great pride to use our expertise to enable organisations of all sizes in the country to optimise, automate and innovate using IoT technologies
relevant to their needs.”
Mohammed al-Saadi, Support Services Department manager, Shafallah Center for Persons with Disability, said: “We would like to extend our gratitude to Vodafone Qatar for supporting the Center by equipping our buses with the surveillance system. This step is in line with our strategy and our ongoing efforts to provide better safety and protection for the Center’s
children at all times.”
