Enhancing School Safety with Applied Information's Smart Solutions

Every year, over 130 children are tragically killed and approximately 25,000 are injured while walking to or from school. Applied Information is committed to reversing these statistics through cutting-edge technology designed to protect students, staff, and communities.

Road safety requires a multifaceted approach. Our smart school zone safety beacons, driver feedback signs, and pedestrian crosswalks work to slow traffic and create a safer environment for walkers, cyclists, and crossing guards.

Smart School Zone Flashing Beacons:

Proactive Safety Management

Our Glance® Smart School Beacon System modernizes school zone safety by giving local traffic departments and school administrators the tools they need to monitor and manage school zone devices remotely, improving reliability and efficiency.

Key Features:

Remote Scheduling: Traffic departments can adjust beacon schedules promptly in response to weather delays, holidays, or emergency situations without the need for on-site visits.
Real-Time Alerts: Local authorities are notified instantly of issues such as lamp failures, battery problems, or power outages, reducing the need for passersby to lodge maintenance requests.
Proactive Maintenance: Traffic departments get daily reports on beacon functioning to order replacement parts before the beacon fails.

In Gwinnett County, Georgia, the deployment of our connected beacon system resulted in a 90% reduction in maintenance-related calls, significantly improving operational efficiency and safety.

Take the Next Step Toward Safer Schools

Be an Advocate for Change Where It Matters Most

The first step to changing the built environment around schools—the sidewalks, traffic devices, and so on—is understanding who your local stakeholders are.

Usually, this will be some combination of the:

City Manager
Public Works Director
School Administrator
And other decision-makers from schools, cities, and counties

Most officials are open to receiving feedback from the public, so don’t be afraid to make your voice heard.

Of course, evidence can help to prove your point. The national organization Safe Routes to School has released a guide for conducting a Walk/Bicycle Audit, which anybody can do to evaluate the road conditions outside your school. This data helps pinpoint specific issues to take to your local stakeholders, who can help develop an appropriate solution for your area.
