SCHOOL BUS ATTENDANCE AND MONITORING SYSTEM USING RFID

Abstract

Security systems and navigators have always been a necessity of human’s life. Millions of children need to travel between homes to school every day. Safer transportation of school children has been a critical issue as it is often observed that, kids find themselves locked in the school bus after going to school, they miss the bus or ride. This project intends to find yet another solution to solve this problem by developing a bus safety system that will control the entry and exit of students from the buses through an efficient methodology. The proposed system will control the entry and exit of students to and from the bus using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) and GSM technologies to ensure the entering and exiting of all students to and from the school bus in a safer manner. The process, does not require any additional process to be done by the students and drivers. The system will do all the process and allow the student to be tracked while entering and leaving the bus. If the bus journey is successful from the source to destination, it will send an SMS to the management to inform its departure and arrival. By using RFID technology other applications such as locate access control, location tracking, billing easily and other applications. RFID tags are expected to multiply into the billions over the coming few years.
