RFID AND GPS INTEGRATED SMART CAMPUS TRACKING WITH DYNAMIC ETA NOTIFICATIONS

The Campus Bus Monitoring and Smart Attendance System is an innovative solution aimed at enhancing the safety, efficiency, and management of campus transportation. It combines GPS-based real-time bus tracking, RFID-enabled student attendance monitoring, and GSM/IoT-based communication to provide accurate and timely information to students, parents, faculty, and campus administrators. Students scan RFID cards when boarding and alighting the bus, which triggers automated notifications to parents via SMS or mobile apps, ensuring real-time awareness of their ward’s location. The GPS module continuously tracks bus movement, while the system dynamically calculates the Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) based on live traffic conditions, enabling students and faculty to plan their commute efficiently. Faculty members can monitor bus routes and locations without attendance tracking. The cloud server stores attendance and location data, manages notifications, and provides a centralized admin dashboard for managing routes, buses, and schedules. By integrating real-time tracking, automated attendance alerts, parental notifications, and adaptive scheduling, this system improves operational efficiency, enhances student safety, and ensures transparent campus transportation management.
