Smart IoT-Enabled Efficient Child Pickup Notifications for Effortless Traffic Flow

Abstract

Schools and parents are increasingly worried about the safety of school children, both during transportation and elsewhere. Parental delays in picking up kids often lead to extended waits outside school. With no real-time tracking, parents can't monitor their children's movements or receive alerts when they leave safe zones, like school and home. Children might not notice parents' arrivals, worsening traffic and hindering evacuations during emergencies. Parents spend time searching, causing congestion and inefficiency. To tackle this, the Smart Child Pickup Notifications system has been introduced. Using IoT technology, it alerts children when parents arrive, smoothing procedures, possibly easing congestion, and boosting child security. This solution offers a comprehensive solution, addressing safety concerns, refining traffic management, and optimizing child pickups.
