Identification and Transportation Tracking System for School Children using IOT

Abstract

The objective of this project is to monitor and track the school children's using Global Positioning System and RFID, IOT. In this paper a system for increasing children's safety is proposed. The focus is on the daily route from home to school and vice versa, assuming the use of school buses. IoT paradigm is exploited together with different localization techniques i.e. RFID and GPS, in order to design a solution for parents willing to make certain of their child's following the main steps to school or home, i.e. taking the school bus and entering school or leaving school and entering the school bus. In this paper the applicability of RFID technology efficient tracking capabilities is tested in children's tracking and monitoring during their trip to and from school by school buses. The proposed solution is discussed in terms of technologies and architecture and the first prototype is presented. Finally a test phase is planned to verify the correct operation of the system.
