Implementation of Automated Transport Management System: Route Optimization and Attendance Tracking for Institutions

Abstract

Managing student transportation efficiently is a crucial challenge for educational institutions. Traditional attendance tracking methods, such as paper-based logs and verbal confirmations, are often inaccurate, time-consuming, and prone to human error. These inefficiencies result in limited access to transportation data for parents and school personnel, administrative hassles, and reporting delays. The Automated Transport Management System (ATMS) is a web-based solution designed to simplify and improve the management of student transportation. It reliably records student attendance using check-in and check-out recording based on barcodes. To assign kids, oversee buses, and create attendance reports, administrators have access to a single dashboard. Additionally, the system has live position monitoring, which enables parents as well as administrators to track bus movements in real time. Additionally, ATMS provides prior notifications for bus arrivals, ensuring parents and administrators receive timely updates when a bus is nearing its designated stop.
