IoT Based Safety System for School Children: A Contactless Access Control for Post Covid School Conveyance

Children's safety during daily transportation to and from the school is of supreme importance during and after this pandemic. Nowadays, school conveyance makes use of biometric-based access control, which may aggravate the spread of Covid-19. A complete security system that informs the parents and teachers about the kid's school bus boarding and gets off details can enhance the safety of our kids during their school conveyance. This project demonstrates an IOT based RFID card reader system to give detailed information about the boarding and get off each student to the class teacher and their parents. Each student is allocated a separate RFID card. Once the student enters her conveyance reader range, the authorized student is allowed to occupy her seat. Student's entry and exit details are updated on the school server and messaged to the parents. A software counter with LCD inform the bus driver about the number of kids on the bus and thus solves the problem of leaving the students inside the school bus unknowingly.
