Smart School Bus and Data Base Management System
Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummaryOn reviewing the past work of school bus tracking, monitoring and alerting system, there is a possibility to categorize various methodologies and identify new trends. One among them is a challenge for vehicle tracking, monitoring and alerting system. Now-a-days with the increase in the crime rate and accidents, parents worry about their children when they are going to schools. And many children find themselves locked in a school bus in the bus parking lot after falling asleep on their way to school, miss the bus, or leave at the wrong station. This project makes use of the applicability of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for tracking and monitoring children during their trip to and from school on school buses. And it has the advantage of efficient tracking capabilities, low cost and easy maintenance.
Project Objectives AIMS:- An application created to ensure student safety
- To ensure arrival and departure time by following through shortest route available
- Time-savings compared to managing manually
- Reduces the expenses of the fuel and time
- To revolutionize the fleet service
- Mark attendance by using RFID
- Messaging service by using GSM modules
- Contact with drivers
- Availability of google maps to select best routes
Majority of students and staff members of educational institutes travel to their institutes from home and vice versa using Public/Institutes Transport. Many students get late and in result they miss their bus. Also, their parents are worried whether their child is on bus or not. For educational institutes, currently they have manual data base record, it is hard for them to track the specific record if needed. Moreover, they may have no idea about the buses, if they are traveling through specified route or not.
To avoid all these problems, we have proposed the IOT Based Project using Raspberry Pi in such a way that it will be linked to Data Base Management System for storing and accessing the record, IOT 4G/4G + GPS module for tracking and RFID for ensur

ing the attendance. This data is sent to an app/web page for the students/staff and the Data Management System.
Benefits of the ProjectWhen it comes to public transportation, time and patience are essential. In other words, many people using public transport buses have experienced time loss because of waiting at the bus stops. Millions of children need to travel from home to school and vice versa every day. For parents, obtaining a safe transport for their children is a critical issue. Crime against children is increasing and every parent is requesting the respective school for the security of their child while traveling from school to home and vice versa in school bus. The system will notify parents by SMS whenever children enters or leaves school bus, this will assure parents that children are safely reached to destination. Count through IR sensor will ensure that is school bus is vacant or still any children are inside the school bus.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableProject is design in such a way that it is R-Pi serve as the brain of the project. RFID module is interfeced with RPi for attendance of the student which will be displayed at the webpage and morever send to the registered numbe over GSM module. GPS module is interfaced with RPi for geo-location of the Buses and 3G/4G Module to provide constant internent connectivity.
