School Bus Tracking and Safety Measures

An increased concern for parents is the safety of their children on the way back home from school and the timing of their arrival. Waiting school buses in the morning and then in the afternoon to return kids back is a time wasting daily mission on parents, especially with the increasing traffic jams at these hours. In this paper we present a mobile and web application that is designed to address this issue. The system will help parents, the school and the bus to communicate automatically and easily via the application in order to detect kids? arrival time Furthermore, the system will allow parents to inform the school and hence the bus application side about the absence of their kid. The system has been efficiently and dynamically designed and implemented so it can be hosted and used by any school administration without the need to any major modifications.
