GSM-Based System for School Children Transportation Safety Enhancement

Abstract

Millions of children need to commute 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 at the bus stop after going to school, they miss the bus, or ride the wrong bus with no way to track them. 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 energy 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 action by the student and drivers. The system will do all the process and allow the student to be tracked while entering and leaving the bus and If all the students were wearing seat belts mean, it will allow bus driver to start the bus for safety precaution. 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.
