ABSTRACT
Ensuring the safety of school children during transit and within school premises has become a growing concern for parents, educators, and authorities. This project focuses on the design and implementation of a tracking system for school children, integrating GPS, RFID, and IoT technologies to provide real-time monitoring and location tracking. The system is designed to enhance child security by enabling parents and school administrators to receive live updates on a child's locations.
GPS and RFID technology work in tandem to ensure both wide-area tracking and localized monitoring within school premises. The system incorporates geo-fencing features, triggering instant alerts if a child moves beyond designated boundaries.
This study outlines the system's architecture, implementation process, and testing phases, demonstrating its effectiveness in improving child safety. Results from prototype testing indicate high accuracy in tracking, low latency in data transmission, and user-friendly interface for parents. While challenges such as power consumption and data privacy concerns exist, future enhancements, including AI-based anomaly detection and blockchain for secure data management, could further optimize the system.
