Smart School Bus Monitoring System Using Iot

Abstract

This Paper Presents An IoT-based Approach Of School Bus Tracking, With A Focus On Increasing Child Safety And Providing Real-time Communication With Parents. The System Uses RFID Tags As The Primary Means Of Verification, Followed By A Secondary Verification Process Using Cameras. The Camera Captures Images Of Students And Checks Them Against Previously Stored Images, Also Checking Compliance With Mask-wearing Protocols. In Addition, The System Monitors The Students' Temperature Using An IR Sensor. The Proposed System Uses ESP8266 Controllers And SIM800L Modules With Integrated GSM Modem And GPS Receiver. GPS Tracking Enables Precise Determination Of A Vehicle's Location, With Data Transmitted To A Remote Server Over TCP Via A GPRS Service. The System Also Includes A Web-based Application For Data Visualization. Significantly, The Proposed System Shows Superior Accuracy Compared To Previous Methods. It Provides Real-time Data On Various Vehicle Features Including Location, Route, Speed, Passenger List, Driver Compliance And Schedule. The System Uses ESP8266 To Connect GPS, RFID, And Firebase Servers To The Cloud Via WiFi, Enabling Seamless Integration And Efficient Data Transmission. Introducing A Smart School Bus Security System Using IoT Offers Many Benefits, Including Increased Student Safety, Increased Accountability, And Reduced Practices Costs And Better Communication Between Parents, Schools And Transport Agencies.
