A Quantitative Case Study in WSNs: Design and Implementation of Student Smart ID Card

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is a collection of small nodes which are used to sense physical environmental conditions like temperature, pressure, sound, motion. Sensor nodes are deployed to carry out various applications such as disaster recovery, industrial control, health monitoring, environmental monitoring. However, least work has been done in the school environment application. Therefore, in this research work, a smart system has been developed that replace the traditional methods of administrating the University with more sustainable and ecofriendly solutions. WSN is used to record the student's attendance and to track their entry and exit in the classroom. WSN incorporated with the student id card and to check the appropriateness an online survey system has been conducted in AMA University. Incorporation of WSN with Student id card will be benefitted to record student attendance, in the certificate of registration, to avoid examination clashes, replaces exam permit, student health care and eliminating library sign in and out.
