In the present day, it is common for parents and guardians to worry about the well-being and safety of their children. While some schools implement extensive and costly measures to ensure student security, such technologies often remain inaccessible to less wealthy institutions. This paper proposes an efficient and reliable school bus tracking and safety solution in the form of an Android application paired with a website. The system includes location tracking, a simple yet foolproof authentication and notification mechanism, and anomaly detection techniques to raise alerts in case of unusual activity. This system allows parents to be aware of their child's location in both unexpected and regular circumstances. School authorities can also monitor the status of their buses via a website. Additionally, this paper introduces features like route optimization and traffic-based delay prediction to improve travel efficiency.
