GPS Tracking Would Tell a Lot

Here’s a recent Associated Press report of a school bus crash in Colorado. 

Colo. school bus, truck collide; injuries reported

YUMA, Colo. (AP) — The Colorado State Patrol says a school bus has hit with a tractor-trailer rig outside Yuma, injuring some of the 12 students on board and the bus driver.

The patrol says the students’ injuries are minor to moderate. The driver had to be extricated from the wreckage, but no information is available yet on the driver’s injuries.

The patrol says the truck was making a left turn off Colorado 34 onto a county road Thursday morning when it was rear-ended by the bus….

It would appear that the bus plowed into the rear of a truck stopped to make a turn.  issues, arguments, liabilities, court dates all raise their ugly head.  Thank God the children are safe.  If you were the driver’s employer, just how much would you pay to be able to tell for certain, was the bus speeding, was the driver within his duty hours, were there any other apparent driver errors before the cash, etc., etc., etc.

With simple onboard GPS tracking, especially a no monthly cost "post mission" unit like the one pictured … it a second by second "crash recorder" function, just how much would managing from knowledge rather than managing "by guess and by gosh" really be worth?
