Biometric Based Students Bus Management System

This paper aims at designing a student monitoring system, which could effectively manage presence of students at school buses. Student's presence is marked after each student's identification. For the identification of student, a fingerprint recognition system is used. Fingerprints are considered to be the best and fastest method for biometric identification, since it is very secure to use and that cannot be changed in one's life time. So, the framework is developed for managing the students' attendance based on fingerprint. Fingerprint reader is placed in the school bus, hence whenever the student boards into the bus, the students have to place their biometric to indicate the presence of arrival and departure. This biometric takes attendance electronically, and the records of the attendance are sent digitally to the school database. The database in turn generates a text message and sends it to the corresponding parents indicating the safer departure and arrival time of their children.
