| dc.description.abstract | In this study, a location-based school-going child monitoring and management system using
RFID with GSM was implemented for Victorious Education Services. The system uses
components such as a Microcontroller, RFID tag and reader, GSM and GPS to monitor the safety
of kindergarten children. This was because cases about kidnapping school-going children are
increasing at an alarming rate in Uganda. It is unfortunately complex to search for the kidnapped
children because the available automated systems such the use of street cameras do not fulfill the
intended purpose of both the school and parents, which is to follow and monitor their children’s
safety or whereabouts while in or out of school or home. The study used both qualitative and
quantitative approaches. Data was collected using interviews and questionnaire methods and
techniques like self-administered questionnaires and interview guides, which were used for data
collecting collected data from 80 respondents. In objective one, the researcher collected both
primary and secondary data, which was analyzed using excel spreadsheets and the user
requirements were determined. In objective two, the system was designed using data flow
diagrams (DFDs) and enhanced entity relationship diagrams (ERDs). In objective three, the
system was developed using technologies such as GPS, GSM, RFID, and Microcontroller. In
objective four, the system was tested and validated. The school-going child monitoring
management system does several tasks, including identifying personal information of each pupil
using RFID tag, which exchanges the data with the RFID reader via radio waves and displays
each pupil name into LCD display. | en_US |
