in my community they leave the gates open all day from 6 am to 6 pm lateley there been many robberies i told them about a solution but they were not intrested this http://sosgate.com/index.php/products/gatetrigger its made for emergency officals but it can be used for school buses theres 4 buses that come in during the day
The website is confusing. It suggests that they offer a product that will trigger a gate to open by the sound of a siren but also talks about rfid chips in the same breath.
It's been about 5 decades since I last rode a school bus but I do not recall any being equipped with sirens. Unless school buses now have sirens this technology would be of little use for your situation. Certainly they could use the bus' horn as a trigger, but many cars would also be able to cause the gates to open the same way. That includes some of the cars you are trying to keep out.
As Steve pointed out, rfid chips would become useless if the regular bus is in the shop.
