Abstract
College bus transportation system plays a vital role in students’ life. They provide safe and secured journey compared to other mode of transportation. The current COVID19 pandemic situation has driven the State Governments and all the college authorities around India to enforce limitations on transportation and movement of students in order to prevent the spread of disease. But taking the students education into considerations, many state governments have advised to open the colleges with proper precautionary measures. However, student health has to be given more importance as they are the backbone of the country. So, a Secured College Bus Management System (SCBMS) has been introduced which monitors the health of the student and the safety measures followed by the student before entering into the bus. Alert information will be passed to the parent and the college management if a person fails to cross these two stages of screening process. Vehicle location information is passed to the parents periodically in order to prepare their child for the school on scheduled time before the bus reaches their boarding point. College bus attendance is monitored efficiently and updated to college authorities for further actions.
