How It Works
Simple. Realtime. Accountable.
Everything in PocketShuttle revolves around one concept — the Trip.
A Trip Begins
A driver starts a route, a traveler shares their journey, or a student boards a bus. The trip activates and live location streaming begins — automatically.
Authorized Viewers See Live
Parents, family members, school admins, or transport operators watch the live map — real-time location, speed, heading, and estimated arrival time.
Everyone Arrives Safely
Every stop, pickup, and arrival is logged with a timestamp. Viewers are notified automatically. Safety confirmed, trip closed.
Every trip contains
Platform Features
Everything you need,
built into one platform.
PocketShuttle handles location, safety, alerts, and accountability — so you never have to wonder where your people are.
Live Location Tracking
GPS updates every 3–5 seconds while moving, 8–10 when slowing, and 15–20 when stationary — adaptive frequency that saves battery without losing accuracy.
Geofencing Engine
Define zones — school gates, bus stops, home addresses, interstate terminals. Get notified the moment someone enters or leaves a boundary.
Safety Engine
Panic button for drivers and travelers. Trip timeout detection — if movement stops unexpectedly, authorized viewers are notified and alerts escalate automatically.
Smart Notification Engine
Push notifications for speed. SMS as a critical fallback. WhatsApp for premium updates. Email for detailed trip reports. Every channel, covered.
Trip Event Log
Every pickup, stop, route deviation, and arrival is recorded with a timestamp. Full accountability trail for every journey — always retrievable.
Live Trip Sharing
Share a live trip link with anyone instantly — no app required for viewers. Perfect for family check-ins, emergency situations, or one-off trips.
