New anti-left-behind app and emergency contact function on buses
~In the event of a bus hijacking or other emergency, multiple parties are promptly notified~.
(Head office: Naka-ku, Hamamatsu City; Representative: Shingo Minamino) has added an emergency contact function to its "QR Daredoko" application for preventing children from being left behind at preschools and other places, and will begin operating it on March 1. This function will enable drivers to promptly notify relevant parties of an emergency in situations where it is difficult for them to make an emergency call on their own cell phones, such as when a bus is hijacked.
The "QR Daredoko" application, which was officially released in June 2022, allows preschool and school administrators and parents to share information about their children's activities using QR codes to prevent unauthorized confirmation of whereabouts and bus boarding and alighting. By reading the QR code on the back of a child's name tag or pass case with a smartphone or tablet, activities at the preschool or school and the status of bus boarding and alighting can be shared in the cloud. If a tablet or smartphone is connected to the Internet, the system can be started simply by giving a piece of paper with the QR code printed on it to the child.

Emergency Contact Function Development Background
When an emergency occurs on a moving bus, it is usually possible to call for help by cell phone. However, in the case of a bus hijacking, it is virtually impossible to call for help from multiple parties via cell phone. We have developed this function in response to requests for a system that can promptly notify the outside world of an emergency situation even under such circumstances.
Emergency Contact Function
This function allows you to do the following
- Notification of bus service and other information
- Notification of the date, time, and estimated current location of the emergency call
- Simultaneous notification of multiple parties
The bus mode function also enables the system to keep track of children who are riding in the bus.
Training in case of emergency
In using the emergency contact function, it is important to clarify the procedures for action in the event of an emergency and to make sure everyone knows that safety is the top priority. The following is an example of a response.
Driver's Response:
- In principle, act in accordance with the request of the culprit in order to give the highest priority to the safety of the school children/children.
- Activate the emergency contact function so that the perpetrator is unaware of the situation.
- Activate emergency buttons for external communication, if available, and notify the outside world of emergencies whenever possible (e.g., flashing hazard lights, repeated passing, etc.)
- If it is possible to make a phone call to the sales office, etc., use a method that is unnoticeable to the perpetrator, such as using a predetermined code word.
Response by officials:
- If an emergency call is made by the driver, the police will be notified, regardless of the authenticity of the information.
- The concerned parties rush to the site to check the situation.
- The report should clarify the date, time, and presumed location, which flight it is, and how many students are on the record.
To save lives and maintain a high level of safety awareness, it is recommended that regular drills be conducted once a year or more often.
