 LITERATURE SURVEY

A. RFID based System for School Children Transportation

Safety Enhancement
In this paper author had presented a device to monitor
pick-up and drop-off of kid to enhance the wellbeing
during daily transportation from school and to school. In
this system there are two main units, a bus unit, and a
school unit. The bus unit is the system which is used to
determine when a child is boarding or leaving the bus. The
information from bus unit is then sent to the school system
that identifies the students that haven’t board or leave the
bus. It then issues an alert message. In this paper author
has a developed a web-based and database-driven
application for controlling of the device. This application
provides beneficial details about the children to caregiver’s
personnel.
B. Smart IoT Device for Child Safety and Tracking [1]
It provides guardians with the real-time tracking of location,
UV radiation index, surrounding temperature, and SOS light
with a Distress alarm buzzer for their kids to make people
near child to know that child is in panic. It provides feature to
locate their kid or alert bystanders so that they can act to
comfort the child or rescue the child. In this device they have
used ThingSpeak, Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS),
NodeMCU, GPS, GSM and Various sensors. This device gives
the result for the parent in two different ways. The first one is
they get an alert message (SMS) for the registered phone
number. The next one is they receive a graphical
representation which shows the Latitude, Longitude, MEMS
Sensor and Vibration sensor of the child’s activities through
“Thing Speak”. The disadvantage of this device that to use
this device there must be efficient flow of internet
connection and it must be fullest. Then only it gives the
outputs at the earliest otherwise it takes time for the result.
C. Child Safety Wearable Device [2]
This project focuses communication mode to be in SMS text
form using GSM. The parent will send a keyword in form of
SMS “SOS”, “BUZZ”, “LOCATION”, “TEMPERATURE” etc., to the
devices. The device will reply back the real time accurate
location of the child and will also provide the surrounding
temperature, or any of the data asked by the parents. It helps
parents to keep track if the temperature around their kid is
not proper for their kid. The secondary idea implemented
was distress alarm buzzer and a bright SOS Light on the
device that can be activated by the guardians via sending the
keywords in the SMS. Parents can text the keywords to ON
the SOS signal brightly and can also send the keyword to
sound an alarm which a people near child or bystander can
instantly help the child's till the parents arrive. People around
could also contact the parents and help them to reunite child
with his or her parents. Hence this project provides parents a
sense of protection for their kid in today's unsafe
environment. The drawback of this system is that parent have
to remember the keywords.
D. A Smart Security for Child Safety [3]
Child tracking is mainly based on two units GPS watch and
Android monitoring unit. This wearable device unit consist of
a GPS receiver, Flexi Force Sensor, Temperature Sensor and
MEMS accelerometer. This security Wearable Device will keep
the child safe. The parent will get the continuous update
about their child temperature and various other factors, so
that they not afraid about their child well-being when they
are not with their kid. This would create some fear in the
persons mind who are involved in child trafficking and
harassment. As a well-known proverb “Prevention is better
than cure”, this application will act as a prevention for the
child safety from harassment and kidnapping
