Towards building intelligent systems to enhance the child safety and security

In present time, the security and safety aspect of a school going children is of main concern and paramount importance. In India, many children are found to be missing and yield to road accidents because of lack of preventive safety measures. Parents are always concerned about their children during commute. This project proposes an Arduino RFID based intelligent solution to assist parents in real time to track their children location. In order to track the location and find the identity of the child a GPS module and a RFID card is used in the proposed system. The system uses Arduino Mega 2560 as main microcontroller. The project also proposes safety systems such as drunk and drive prevention system by using an alcohol sensor (MQ-3), accident alert with location by using piezo vibration sensor, detecting objects in front of vehicle wheels by using ping sensors and detection of human movements on the footboard by using IR proximity sensors. The working prototype model of the developed system exhibits good accuracy with reduced computational time. By incorporating all those above features, we can assure the safety and security of every school children.
