Enhanced smart commuting with artificial intelligence for intelligent health and safety monitoring in school buses.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This paper introduces ESC.AI (Enhanced Smart Commuting with Artificial Intelligence), an intelligent and integrated safety framework designed to improve health monitoring, environmental awareness, behavioral detection, driver supervision, and route optimization in school bus transportation systems. The proposed framework combines multimodal sensing, edge-based artificial intelligence, adaptive routing, and secure data management to enable proactive risk detection and real-time decision-making during transit. Although school buses remain one of the safest modes of transportation for students, recent national statistics continue to highlight persistent risks related to health emergencies, behavioral incidents, and environmental hazards. According to data from the National Safety Council (NSC) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), school bus-related crashes resulted in 104 fatalities in the United States in 2022, representing a 3.7% decrease from 2021. Between 2013 and 2022, approximately 71% of fatalities involved occupants of other vehicles, 16% were pedestrians, and only 5% were school bus passengers. Injury statistics show a similar pattern, emphasizing the need for safety solutions that protect both students and surrounding road users. ESC.AI addresses these challenges through a unified platform that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for physiological and environmental monitoring, computer vision-based behavioral analysis, driver monitoring, and intelligent routing. Edge-cloud computing is employed to ensure low-latency responses, while blockchain-based mechanisms are used selectively to enhance data integrity, traceability, and access control for sensitive safety records. Together, these components form a cohesive and scalable framework aimed at improving transparency, responsiveness, and reliability in school transportation systems.
