Security System for School Children using Arduino

Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents a system to monitor the transport facility of school children. In the present time due to the increase in cases of kidnapping and road accidents, there is always a concern for the parents regarding the travel safety of the school children. This system is proposed to improve safety measures and prevents such cases. This system is used to enhance monitor pick up/ drop off of school children from home to school and vice versa. The proposed system has an advantage of SMS based solution to aid parents to track their children location in real time. This system consists of Arduino Uno which is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It is the main functional unit of this system as it has 14 input /output pins and all other components are connected to these pins. For the identification purpose of each child, RFID tags are used. RFID tags stores unique digital identity codes that can be scanned from a distance and as well as capture the signal to the RFID reader. Whenever a child boards/deboard from the bus a message is sent to the registered number of the guardian/parents via GSM module.
