RFID & NFC based Student Tracking
REDEFINING STUDENT TRACKING
Solutions based on
RFID or NFC requires
significant investment
for tags and readers.
And the success of
such systems depends
on bringing close
interaction of a tag and
a reader to record a
transaction.
In terms of privacy also,
RFID tags contain data
which can be read
through an RFID
reader.
And by getting into
wrong hands may
jeopardize the safety of
students
Schools and Parents
seek a solution which
can ensure better
safety and tracking of
their child
Setting up a RFID
system and managing it
is a major cost center
CONTEXT
Over 50 million students (North America and India) begin and end their day with a trip on a school bus. Security of students on school transport becomes very important and though the authorities have proper systems in place to ensure safe rides for students, yet parents do not have access to real time information about their children whereabouts.PROBLEM
Not every parent can drop or pick-up their children from the school bus stop. In actual conditions, children are on their own most of the time. In such cases, parents have very limited information of their children boarding the bus and reaching school safely. Generally it is assumed that all is good.SITUATION
Available technical solutions based on RFID and NFC have very limited usage. These solutions depends heavily on human interaction making it difficult to provide error free and effective results when safety if concerned.SITUATION
ez enRoute is a touch less iBeacon based student tracking system which includes mobile application for parents enabling them to track and get notified about their children when they use school transportation.THE SET UP PROCESS
ez enRoute is easy to set up in any school and require very less human
resource and hardware with almost
no additional IT infrastructure from the School
Student data, then added onto the web application along with parent details and students are mapped to each stop
Student data, then added onto the web application along with parent details and students are mapped to each stop
We start with mapping the routes along with their stops and timings.
Training Session is hosted for drivers as well as parents to get them accustomed with the system and how to use it
ez enRoute – STUDENT TRACKING REDEFINED
ez enRoute uses iBeacon (Blue Tooth Low Energy)
devices for students and mobile applications for drivers
and parents to help them manage all interactions and get real time updatesl
Driver application resides on the bus with the driver, and is used to record all interactions with iBeacon devices which are carried by the students. All information is then subsequently stored on the server
Parents have their own mobile applications which is available on iOS and Android, and are used to get notifications and updates about their children location. Parents can also track the bus live using the application.
PARENT APPLICATION
Parents have their own mobile applications which is available on iOS and Android, and are used to get notifications and updates about their children location. Parents can also track the bus live using the application.
ez enRoute – STUDENT TRACKING REDEFINED
ez enRoute uses iBeacon (Blue Tooth Low Energy)
devices for students and mobile applications for drivers
and parents to help them manage all interactions and get real time updatesl
BUS START
As the bus starts from a designated location, parents are notified about the start of their children bus route
