Many students are reported to be left behind in school buses unwittingly due to several reasons. Locked-in students might face adverse health issues and might even die due to the suffocation and extreme climate conditions. Hence, tracking a student's entry and exit to a school bus helps avoid the problem. This paper illustrates an attendance approach using biometrics. The system comprises of the smart tablet, a microcontroller-based fingerprint sensor, an automated gate and a developed android application. When integrated in school buses, a student can only board/exit the school bus when his/her fingerprint is recognized. Once students are to be dropped off back home, the system generates a route based on the attended students and furthermore detects and alerts the bus driver if an attended student has not boarded/exited the bus. |
