INTRODUCTION According to National Crime Records Bureau, India, the number of crimes reported against children in 2016 are doubled, of which over 37,000 involved kidnap and abduction and nearly 14,000 involved rape. School children safety and security is of most important concern to their parents and schools. Eventhough many safety and security measures are implementedby school administration, in order to protect them, they may end up in a troublesome situation (e.g. crossing the road without paying attention to traffic)[1]vulnerable to abduction and kidnap Etc. Parents escorting their children to school may be the best option to insure safety and security, but all parents may not afford it. The next option may be using school transportation where monitoring is done by human resources. Because of operational cost school management often,hire unskilled andinadequate man power, whichmay invite unwanted situations and oversight of the human or supervisor absence may lead to catastrophe. This paper focuses on the automated school children security and safety system which supplements the manual monitoring of the school children when boarding/leaving the bus. This projectconsists of a system thatcontinually monitor and record the daily bus pick-up/drop-off of children at various stages, and help to improve the overall safety and security of the daily bus transportation to/from school. The project motto is to automatically find out whether the child has boarded or left the bus at predefined timings[2]. Anyanomalous situation is immediately reported to the parent and to the school by sending the alert messages. 2. COMPONENTS USED 2.1 Microcontroller ARM7TDMI: This part forms the control and monitoring unit of the entire project. It comprises of a microcontroller with supporting components like reset switch, quartz crystal RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Abstract: In the present world, there are different technological methods available in order to provide safety and security for school children in the process of transportation to and from school. But these methods and hardware used are costlier and consume more power. At the same time, they are static and not real time operable.Security concerned activities always demand high cost human resourcesand manual operations. In order to overcome the above disadvantages,the proposed model is designed with the embedded systemusing ARM7 TDMI processor. The model uses different modules such as Micro controller LPC2148, RFID reader, RFID tags, GSM modem, 16X2 LCD. This paper presents anautomated system to monitor the schoolchildren who are using school transportation for attending school. The system consists of two modules such as Busmodule, parent module and school module. The Bus modulein this system is used to identify the pupil every time when he or she board or alight the school bus with the help of RFIDtag, which is, placed in identity card. This information is communicated to the parent mobile along with time stamp by using SMS. Daily Student attendance at various pick-up points is recorded and updated in onboard module and also in school module. The parent and school modules may be a simple mobile phone, which receives SMS alerts from the Bus module. Microcontroller LPC2148 is the heart of the project. It reads student ID numbers from ID cards by using the RFID reader interfaced to it. The GSM modem is also interfaced to the microcontroller, which sends the alert messages to the parent mobile phones.Keil IDE is used to develop the source code of the project.Flash magic software is used to load the generated object file into the microcontroller IC. Proteus simulator softwareis used to simulate the entire project before working on hardware. Keywords — Student Transport monitoring, ARM7, TDMI, GSM module, RFID reader, RFID tags, Keil IDE, Proteus.
