The shuttle bus route information may be provided only with the route name, such as the shuttle bus No. 1 car, the shuttle bus No. 2 car, the shuttle bus No. 3, etc., or may be provided together with the station information of the route.

Next, the teacher terminal 100 can transmit the shuttle bus route selected by the teacher to the server 400 (S225). Step S225 may be performed as soon as the teacher selects the shuttle bus route, and may be implemented when the start button 61 is selected on the screen as illustrated in FIG. 6 according to the embodiment.

Thereafter, the server 400 periodically receives the GPS information from the teacher terminal 100, grasps the current position of the shuttle bus on which the teacher has boarded, and calculates the estimated arrival time for each stopping destination at step S230. Step S230 may be performed periodically until the application is executed in the teacher terminal 100 and the shuttle bus arrives at the nursery.

On the other hand, the server 400 can provide child information to the teacher terminal 100 for each boarding or returning home (S235). Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, the shuttle bus may provide child information, which is registered as a passenger or a deaf child, to the bus stop, which is to be immediately arrived, along with the name of the bus stop, so that the shuttle bus is displayed on the teacher terminal 100. An icon 62 may be included in the screen of FIG. 6 displayed on the teacher terminal 100 during shuttle bus operation to select a shuttle bus arrival delay notice message transmission. When the shuttle bus is delayed, the teacher may select the icon 62 to cause the parent terminal 200 to transmit a shuttle bus arrival delay notification message. The shuttle bus arrival delay notification message is as shown in Fig. 6, " the vehicle is stalled. Please wait for a little while at home. "In accordance with the embodiment, a message creation pop-up window may be displayed so that the teacher directly inputs the message .

Meanwhile, the server 400 may provide a shuttle bus estimated arrival time to the parent terminal 200 (S240). The parent can confirm the screen as shown in FIG. 7 at the parent terminal 200 and receive the shuttle bus operation information and exchange messages with the teacher. The message exchange between the parent terminal 200 and the teacher terminal 100 can be relayed through the server.

The screen provided to the parents may be provided with shuttle bus arrival forecast time information 81, a message exchange confirmation area 82 with the teacher terminal 100, and the like. Also, if the parent selects the stop position confirmation button 83, the position of the stop can be provided in the form of a map or a load view.

Meanwhile, the messages exchanged between the teacher terminal 100 and the parent terminal 200 on the screen of the teacher terminal 100 may be displayed so as to be displayed together in the area 63 classified by the child. This allows the teacher to easily identify messages exchanged with parents on a single screen.

Next, after the shuttle bus arrives at the stop, the teacher confirms whether or not the registered child is boarding or returning from the stop, selects the button 64, and sends the boarding or return information of the child registered at the stop to the server 400 (S245). It may be implemented so that the teacher is automatically processed in step S245 without clicking the button 64 for a child who is on a boarding or returning home. For example, it is possible to attach an electronic tag or an NFC tag to a thing carried by a child such as a bag or the like, and to mount the teacher's terminal 100 on the tag, thereby automatically confirming boarding or returning of a child. For example, the name or identification information of the child is stored in the tag, and when the teacher terminal 100 acquires the information from the tag, the server 400 automatically provides the boarding or returning information of the child at the stop Can be implemented.

The server 400 may store the child boarding or return information provided from the teacher terminal 100 at step S245 at step S250 and may provide the child boarding or returning information at the request of the administrator terminal 300 or the parent terminal 200 at step S245.

Meanwhile, the administrator can confirm the shuttle bus operation information from the server 400 through the administrator terminal 300.
