Abstract

Parent’s primary concern is children's safety during school bus travel. It is difficult for parents to keep track of their children due to their busy schedules and hectic working lives. Thus, this paper presents the design and development of a prototype for children’s safety. The authors implemented a tracker tool that checks the school children in vehicles and sends SMS alerts to priority contacts in case of emergency/dangerous situations. The proposed design includes global positioning system (GPS) tracking as a way to track school vehicles. At the same time, passive radio frequency identification (RFID) technology is used to record the children’s presence inside/outside the vehicle. The data extracted by the hardware is fed to the cloud in real-time through Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Parents could monitor the school vehicle’s movement while their children are on board. From the safety concern, when the child is in danger, a small button-like arrangement is made so that when pressed/triggered, the system will send an SOS message through the Global System for Mobile (GSM) communications module to the previously saved contacts. The results ensure the completeness of the vehicle monitoring system.
