Abstract - This project presents a system to monitor pick-
up/drop-off of school children to enhance the safety of children during the daily transportation from and to school. The system consists of two main units, a bus unit and a school unit. The bus unit the system is used to detect when a child boards or leaves the bus. This information is communicated to the school unit that identifies which of the children did not board or leave the bus and issues an alert message accordingly. The system has a developed web-based databasedriven application that facilities its management and provides useful information about the children to authorized personal. A complete prototype of the proposed system was implemented and tested to validate the system functionality. The results show that the system is promising for daily transportation safety. Key Words: Safety, Transportation, Web based.
1. INTRODUCTION Children safety is of utmost importance to their parents. Despite the best safety measures, children, due to their lack of skills to protect themselves, may end up in a situation that endangers their life (e.g. crossing the road without paying attention to traffic). In this project, we focus on a particular risk associated with the daily bus trip to and from school. There have been previous incidents where a child is forgotten in the bus and eventually die because of suffocation. To improve transportation safety, some schools employ a bus supervisor to look after the children inside the bus. Nonetheless, human oversight or supervisor absence may still lead to a heartbreaking ending as in the previously cited stories. This project presents a system to monitor the daily bus pick-up/drop-off of children to enhance the overall safety of the daily bus transportation to/from school. The system aims at automatically detecting when a child boards or leaves the bus and issue an alert message when a child Š 2017, IRJET

does not board or leave the bus to reduce the parents’ concerns about using the bus for the daily transport of their children without being lost or forgotten.
2. LITERATURE This section presents the most related work to the problem addressed by this project. In a system is proposed to track the children using a child module that transmits the tracking information to a database and a mobile device. The disadvantages of this system are that the module may not be convenient for children and wide-scale deployment is expensive. Authors in report a tracking system that utilizes Android terminals that communicate among themselves using Bluetooth technology to form clusters. The clusters communicate the relevant information using WLAN. The major drawback of this system is that the deployment cost is high. There are commercial systems for tracking children such as Bluetooth-based tracking devices which are designed to be worn by children as a bracelet or a necklace. In this type of tracking, these devices can be connected with a mobile application and can alert the parents if their child went outside a range specified by them. If the child walked outside this range, the device will send an alert to the parent. In addition, the application sends the location of the child by using a geographical map. One disadvantage of this type of applications is that they work only in a limited range. Other products may rely on biometric features such as the Kid track biometric system in which the children scan their palms across a palm reader when they enter the bus [6]. It uses an infrared light to image the palm unique pattern. It uses green and red LEDs to ensure the scan works. Then, the scans are sent for cross-referencing against a secure database of pre-registered users’ patterns. Based on this, the administration can find the information of that bus, where and when it tracked the child, and where the bus was at that time. The disadvantage of this approach is that it is not automatic and difficult for young children to place their ISO 9001:2008 Certified Journal
