Gatekeeper Completes Contract with Lexington County School District One, Featuring a Landmark Deployment of Student Protector Stop Arm Cameras
Abbotsford, BC – November 21, 2024 – TheNewswire - Gatekeeper Systems Inc. (“Gatekeeper” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:GSI) (OTC:GKPRF), a leader in intelligent video and data solutions for public transportation and smart cities, is pleased to announce the completion of a contract with Lexington County School District One (“Lexington One”) for the full-fleet implementation of Live View Wireless and internal video on the district's 250 school buses.
Lexington One, one of South Carolina’s largest school districts, has also installed Gatekeeper’s Student Protector stop arm cameras on 150 buses in the fleet, marking it as one of Gatekeeper's largest single deployments of Student Protector stop arm cameras to date. Student Protector stop arm cameras leverage advanced AI and video analytics to detect and capture violations of vehicles illegally passing school buses while the stop arm is extended. The system records high-quality evidence, including license plate data, that can also be seamlessly processed for automated ticketing when Gatekeeper’s proprietary software is optioned.
“Recently one of our students came within a few feet of being struck by a vehicle illegally passing a stopped school bus,” commented Will Hall, Director of Transportation at Lexington One. “Adding Gatekeeper’s Student Protector solution to capture critical evidence of stop arm violations will act as a deterrent and add a layer of safety for our children when boarding and disembarking our buses.”
Mr. Hall continued, “I can’t tell you how much Live View Wireless has helped us here at Lexington One just to expedite our investigations or respond to dangerous or hazardous situations. Previously, we could have created another full-time position for someone who was manually pulling video.”
Prior to switching to Gatekeeper’s Live View Wireless solution, the district’s manual video retrieval process required staff to physically locate buses, remove hard drives, and sift through hours of video footage. Live View Wireless allows real-time video streaming from buses, GPS tracking, advanced audio features, event-based alerts, and exceptional customer support.
Gatekeeper has also published a detailed case study on this deployment, available at Gatekeeper Success Stories.
