Biometric Based Students Bus Management System

This paper aims at designing a student monitoring s ystem which could effectively manage presence of stu dents at school buses. Student’s presence is marked after each student’s identification. For the identificat ion of student, a fingerprint recognition system is used. Fingerprints are considered to be the best and fastest method f or 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 finge rprint. Fingerprint reader is placed in the school bus, henc e whenever the student boards into the bus, the studen ts have to place their biometric to indicate the pr esence of arrival and departure. This biometric takes attendance electron ically, and the records of the attendance are sent digitally to the school database. The database in turn generates a text mes sage and sends it to the corresponding parents indi cating the safer departure and arrival time of their children.
