IOT Enabled School Bus Tracking and Student Monitoring System

Abstract: The Smart School Bus Student Monitoring System enhances student safety and automates attendance using RFID technology. A microcontroller like NodeMCU or Arduino processes data, recording attendance and timestamps, which are sent to a central server accessible by school staff and parents. Unlike GPS-based systems, it focuses solely on student tracking. In case of delays, drivers can input reasons, triggering real-time notifications to parents via Telegram chat Bot or SMS. The system is cost-effective, scalable, and offers a modern alternative to traditional school bus monitoring methods.
