In recent days safer transportation of school children has been a critical issue. Lots of cases have been reported of late where due to lack of information about whereabouts of the child has led to fatal accidents resulting to deaths also .In presence of a proper entry exit system it would be possible to track the location of the child and may be tracked quickly and often impending mishaps can be avoided. This project intends to find yet another solution to solve these problems by developing a bus safety system that will control the entry and exit of students from the buses through an advanced methodology. The proposed system uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and GSM to send notification to parents regarding students entry and exit in the school. In this work we have been able to implement a fully functional prototype which is capable of reading the RFID tag and identify it and forwarding the details on the registered number through the GSM Modem Keywords : Radio Frequency Identification, SM, NAVYYA, Operations Support System, Voltage Regulator, Bridge Rectifier, Transformer, ATMEGA162 Microcontroller I. INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the security of kindergartens is highly relied on the human’s effort and attention like guardians and teachers. However, if there is no active informing service provide by kindergartens usually, parents have no idea of when and whether their children safely arrive in their classroom after they are picked up by school bus. Every morning the student attendance offers the first hand information of children safety. But sometimes it is complicated to exactly track the attendance since the children arrive in a period of time in the morning and some of them come with their parents and some come by school bus. So we develop an active RFID attendance system to overcome the barriers and mistakes of manually taking attendance and combine the wireless GSM message service to provide real time responses to their parents’ cellular phone. Parents can check the message and understand when their children are safely arrived. On the contrary, a noticing message will be broadcasted to administrators and parents if the children do not show up in a class on time so that the adults have the enough time to check out these particular children and prevent accident happens. Another main purpose of the system is used to relieve the traffic jam around the kindergarten after class, parents drive to school to pick up their children at the same time. Many cars would get stuck by the kindergarten because they all temporarily park in front of the school and wait the guardians to find out their children and bring them out. The traffic chaos is more serious especially on rainy days or the kindergarten is located on a busy district. With the prior distributed RFID tags carried by parents, the system can detect the approaching cars in a specific distance and identify the children who would be picked up next. Thus, the school broadcasting system
