Safety Enhancement
Abstract This paper presents a system to monitor pick-up/drop-off of school children to enhance
the safety of children during the daily transportation from and to school. The system consists of two
main units, a bus unit and a school unit. The bus unit the system is used to detect when a child boards
or leaves the bus. This information is communicated to the school unit that identifies which of the
children did not board or leave the bus and issues an alert message accordingly. The system has a
developed web-based database-driven application that facilities its management and provides useful
information about the children to authorized personal. A complete prototype of the proposed system
was implemented and tested to validate the system functionality. The results show that the system is
promising for daily transportation safety.
