Abstract

School bus services play an essential role in transporting students from home to school in each place. Many parents are relying on school bus services even though they are concerned about the safety of their children. Recognizing that problem, the project proposed an SMS-based solution to help most parents identify the child movement (inside / out) of the school bus. Once the children reach the destination, the SMS will be sent to the parents. The project aims to develop school bus safety systems using GSM and RFID technique. RFID is used to identify the specific person like student's and tag with the parent's contact number, while GSM is used as a platform to inform parents of the child's movement through SMS. Tests have been conducted on the overall performance of the developed prototype. From this method, it was found that the developed program was able to provide real-time messaging to parents where their children were located with the added feature of student attendance verification. In a nutshell, this developed prototype offers peace of mind for most parents who hand over their children traveling by school bus.
