Scope of RFID School Bus Tracking Systems

In security measures at schools

Know about Automatic Identification

Automatic Identification is known as auto ID for short.

It is a term given to the technology that is used to help machines in order to identify people or object.

Automatic data capture is often coupled with auto identification.

The system is mainly used in order to collect data without error.

The system increases efficiency and make the staff members available for other functions resulting in more productivity.

Bar codes, smart cards, voice recognition, some biometric technologies, optical character recognition, and radio frequency identification (RFID) are the technologies that fall under the shade of auto-ID umbrella.

What is RFID?

oRadio frequency identification or RFID for short is the broad term given to the technology that uses radio waves to automatically identify people or objects.

oThe normal method to store a serial number that identifies a person or object on a microchip that is attached to an antenna (the chip and the antenna together are called an RFID transponder or an RFID tag).

oThe chip transmits the identification information to a reader. The antenna enables the chip to transmit the information.

oThe radio waves reflected back from the RFID tag is converted in to digital information that can then be passed on to computers that can make use of it.

Parents get notified about children’s activities automatically

The developments of the children are notified to the parents without fail.

Performance tracking is possible that can result in the over-all development of the child. RFID tag removes uncertainty.

The system monitor when and where each student gets on or off a school bus

The accurate location of children can be monitored by parents using RFID tracking systems.

This provides parents with extra peace of mind.
