Uni-bus assist: A smarter safer bus

With all the technological advancements we humans reached in our modern world, there are still some obstacles that avoid us from improving, a major one is providing everybody the chance to study and get educated. Our project mainly aims to overcome the latter obstacle by facilitating transportation for students in order to reach their educational institutions and especially universities and colleges. The system takes the responsibility of getting the students from near their houses to take them to their destination in a fast, safe and secure manner, and that is done by registering college students into the system's database to prevent any intruder from riding along with them and by keeping track of both passengers' history and bus location. The design contains an RFID reader at the bus entrances which requires the students to pass their RFID cards near it, whenever they get on or off the bus, in order to check whether they are registered or not, and an on-board GPS module to constantly read the bus's location from satellites and save it into the database. The aim of this paper is to state how our project's design would provide a fast and secure mean of transportation for college students so that we persuade and encourage them to keep it up with their education.
