    Smart School Bus Monitoring
    (October University for Modern Sciences and Arts, 2020) Alaa, Youssef
    It is vital for every school to ensure safe transportation of their students to be trustworthy, secure and to gain a good reputation. School administration need to be continuously updated of their student’s situation and avoid any accidents. However, if an accident happen they should be able to contact parents, update them in real time and tackle the problem. This is where the smart school bus monitoring takes place. Students frequently get on the wrong bus which leads them to another direction. Students also, get off on the wrong stops causing their parents to panic by not arriving on exact time and place. Moreover, parents who are not present at home may not know if their child got home or not. In addition to this, drivers could pass the speed limit which may lead to accidents or changing their routes causing the parents to worry. Not to mention that, bus driver does not identify all the students, therefore he could leave one behind. The proposed system works by giving each student an RFID tag that contains student’s information which is accessed by a microcontroller when the student enters the bus and passes an RFID card reader. In addition to this, the system uses GPS technology in order to find the bus speed and geographic coordinates of the location it is currently at and uses GSM to send SMS to parents. Then, parents can access these information through a mobile application and contact the school administration if there’s any discomfort or a problem. School administration also have access to the mobile application to monitor the bus drivers and contact them to obtain student’s safety. Therefore, the proposed system provides real time tracking of buses and provides safety.
