Rfid Based Secure Smart School Bus System Using Raspberry Pi

This paper presents a system to monitor pick-up/drop-off of school children to enhance the safety of children during the daily transportation from and to school. The system consists of two main units, a bus unit and a school unit. The bus unit the system is used to detect when a child boards or leaves the bus. This information is communicated to the school unit that identifies which of the children did not board or leave the bus and issues an alert message accordingly. Identifying children RFID tag number using RFID reader along with corresponding bus number and driver phone number and then check for absentees, if any absentees found, send SMS to the child’s parent with bus number and driver number. One button system should be there for women's individual safety system, use of the button is – when the button is pressed a emergency message is sent to any number (this number is considered as relative number or police station number for safety precautions) with current location from the GPS module.
