RFID based Smart Automatic Vehicle Management System for Healthcare Applications

Abstract

Smart automatic vehicle management system using RFID technology is proposed. This work conglomerates the widely used image processing technique with the trending Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. In recent years, safety and security of children has gained prime importance and the need for building a safer environment is the greatest concern of all. The safety of children is ensured by implementing a smart automatic vehicle management that monitors and tracks the children and automatically sends safety alarm as notification to parents. Children information at entry level will be recorded automatically when they pass by the scanner. At the same time, parents will automatically receive the SMS from the system that provide information about their children entry/exit from the school bus. The crux of this work proposes the Smart Eye Counting (SEC) system employed for counting the number of students based on scanning their iris, as they board the school as well as automatic updating of attendance and instantaneous communication of the information to the management. Apart from ensuring safety to children, the system also ensures the proper functioning of the vehicle by means of periodic vehicle health check-up and monitoring. The vehicle emission monitoring is also a key factor, which is implemented by identifying the overheating in vehicle through temperature sensor and the smoke problem (vehicle emitting smoke) through the use of gas sensor and immediate necessary actions will be taken by the driver or the management to ensure proper functioning of the vehicle. The use of RFID reader in the main gate to read the tag of vehicle and the information will be sent to the management, once the vehicle enters the school campus and abates trespassing. This proposed work is applied in real-time scenario, which is mainly helpful in contributing to the enhanced tracking of school children safety and monitoring proper functioning of vehicles without any malfunctioning and curtailing further complications.
