India National RFID-based School Bus Tracking System

planned

India plans to develop a radio-frequency identification (RFID) based tracking and monitoring system for school buses to ensure child safety. The system will allow parents and school authorities to track children in real time, using RFID tags issued to students and installed in school buses along with RFID readers, GPS, GSM communication modules, and IP-based cameras. The system will automatically log when a child boards or leaves the bus and transmit the data in real time to school authorities and parents through a connected platform. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) is developing a model for this standardized, IoT-based intelligent transport system to ensure safer travel for schoolchildren across the country.
