Gps And Gsm Based School Bus Tracking System1

Description

ABSTRACT

In present time due to increase in number of kidnapping and road accident cases, parent always worry about their children.

cIt allows parent to get their child location on a real time map by the geographical co-ordinates which send by module kit. Information such as GPS co-ordinates and time are gathered on the module kit.

The communication between the parent and the child module kit is done using short message service (SMS). SMS offers the system unique features. It will allow the system to work without the need of internet connection. The system sends the location of child’s smart phone to parent’s smart phone when the parent wishes to check on the child using GPS.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0                                                        INTRODUCTION

1.1                                         BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

Millions of children need to be moved from home to school and vice versa every day. For parents, obtaining a safe transport for their children is a crucial issue. The students ride their bicycle getting to and from school safety. A research undertaken by the Scottish executive central research unit with purpose of increasing the proportional of non car travel to school reveals that travelling by bus or coach appears to be by for the safest mode.

For instance, the Australian college of Road safety notes that bus travel in the safest form of road transport, at least 14 times safer than the private car, and that the record for school bus travel in particular is very good.

Also, the research undertaken by national highway traffic safety administration in notes that when comparing the number of fatalities of children aged 5-18 years during normal school transportation hours, from 1989-1999 (school years). School buses are 87 times safes than private cars.

To help – avoid frightening and potential costly mistakes like these, this investigates GPS and GSM enabled solution to here monitor children when they are traveling to and from school on stool buses. This system will transmit data via cell modem to allow buses to be tracked from a command center at fleet headquarters, as well as to the parent of that child.

As an option, a push button emergency alarm can be installed that will send an alarm to the monitoring station that the bus is in trouble. Another option that increased situational awareness or the addition of biometrics that, can store locally the identity picture sent periodically or on request from the command centre.

1.2                                                  PROBLEM STATEMENT

There is a report of students losing their way as a result of boarding / deboarding, and wrong bus boarding. This device was designed to manage the fleet of buses effortlessly by transforming them into smart buses. With this device, parents can trace the location of their children. This device helps to ensure the safety of children and also help parents to know the way about of their children at all time.

1.3                                      RESEARCH GOALS AND OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to develop an affordable   integrated monitoring system to ensure our fleet security. Our goal is to develop a modular system to maximize system flexibility to best meet the need of each school district.

1.4                                         SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT

This device helps parents to ensure the safety of children and also help parents to know the way about of their children at all time. The basic system will enable law enforcement to track vehicle using GPS and GSM as wireless data transfer mechanism that sends data to headquarters and allow to law enforcement.

1.5                                                 SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

A module will be developed that will provide co-operate system for identification and tracking of individual system and driver, including where and when they board and exit the bus.

This research showed that GPS and GSM technology is a practical option for monitoring and tracking the children their trip to and from school on school buses. The reading were consistent and resulted read ranges that were acceptable within the constraints of locating children stopped into the wrong bus, left the bus and left behind in the bus, the cost associated with begging of material is relatively low.  It should be noted that the        work completed in this research is the first phase of the project.

GPS based tracker for School bus project has GPS modem and GSM modem. This project sends SMS to the family members of the children going in School bus. This SMS contains the Longitude and Latitude of the school bus. This project also has a Keypad which has 4 keys. This keypad can be used by bus driver to send emergency messages to the family members. 4 Keys has respective 4 emergency messages.

GPS modem continuously sends data string to the microcontroller. This data contains various type of information. It includes Longitude Latitude of the place where project is currently situated. Thus microcontroller gets co-ordinates of the place. Then it sends SMS after periodic interval of time, for example after every 1 minute.

1.6                                          APPLICATION OF THE PROJECT

Benefit to parent

1. You can complete traceability of children movement from home to school and back.
2. You get instant information/Alerts about Arrival at pickup and drop off stops. Boarding and Alighting at school and stops entering and eating school premises.
3. This project can be used for School bus.
4. This project can also be used for tracking senior citizens, elderly person in our home.

1.7                                               BENEFIT OF THE PROJECT

1. You get exact information about the moving fleet
2. You get information about drives functioning i.e Breakdown alerts e.t.c

1.8                                                        METHODOLOGY

To achieve the aim and objectives of this work, the following are the steps involved:

1. Study of the previous work on the project so as to improve it efficiency.
2. Draw a block diagram.

• Test for continuity of components and devices,

1. Design and calculation for the device was carried out.
2. Studying of various component used in circuit.
3. Construction of the circuit was carried out.

• Finally, the whole device was cased and final test was carried out.

1.9                                                         PROJECT ORGANISATION

The work is organized as follows: chapter one discuses the introductory part of the work,   chapter two presents the literature review of the study,  chapter three describes the methods applied,  chapter four discusses the results of the work, chapter five summarizes the research outcomes and the recommendations.
