Abstract

Tracking school buses and students has become an important issue due to the decision of whether it would be quicker to wait for the arrival of school bus or to hire a cab/rickshaw as the bus is late/missed to reach school. The proposed system intends to aid in the bus arrival intimation by bringing in an application that will help in successfully tracking the school bus and the child. This application is used to track the current location of the school bus by parents and the school authorities. The proposed systems also include intimation to parents about their child boarding the school bus. This system uses a GPS tracker which is in built in the android phone along with the RFID reader in the school bus. The tracker is used for locating the current geographic position of the bus and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) is used to uniquely identify child that has subscribed for the intimation service. This system uses a database to store the details about the bus route, bus details and children. Although the system proposes to be used for a school bus tracking, it can also be implemented for private/public bus services.
