Abstract:
The education sector is one of the key sectors in Uganda and the world at large. For education to
be passed on effectively, a number of things have to be put into consideration among which is the transportation and safety of children. In relation to this, a number of schools’ employ shuttles to aid in the transportation of kids to and from school. This method of using shuttles has also been embraced by parents since it saves them a number of things that is rush driving, inconvenience’s etcetera.
Therefore, as a way to enhance on the safety of the shuttle business (school vans and buses) and
providing notifications to parents and school authorities about the location of the students, a school bus tracking and pupil safety enhancement system was suggested as explained in the different chapters of the study. In conclusion, the system serves a great deal to the schools and parents, reducing on the mental strain since it provides real time location of the school van/shuttle at any point in time.
