UC-140 Streamlining School Bus Monitoring: GCPS's Transition to Real-Time Kafka Event Processing

This project develops a prototype real-time bus monitoring system for Gwinnett County Public Schools using simulated Kafka event streaming to replace current API polling methods. The system processes simulated Asset Location and Speed events, mimicking Samsara's Kafka Connector, performing data validation before storing in SQL Server. The containerized solution demonstrates the potential for near real-time visibility into school bus operations.
