Scope of School Bus Tracking System Final Year Project

Admin Accounts: Provide administrative access for managing system settings, bus routes, user roles, and overall system operations.
Driver Accounts: Allow bus drivers to log in and update their status, including location and any issues encountered.
Parent/Guardian Accounts: Enable parents or guardians to track the real-time location of their child’s bus and receive notifications.
School Staff Accounts: Allow school staff to monitor bus locations, manage schedules, and communicate with drivers and parents.
Role-Based Access: Define access levels for different types of users (e.g., admins, drivers, parents, school staff) to ensure appropriate access to system features.

Real-Time Tracking: Implement GPS-based tracking to provide real-time location updates of each bus on a map.
Route Management: Allow admins to define and manage bus routes, including stops and schedules.
Geofencing: Implement geofencing to trigger alerts when a bus enters or exits predefined areas or boundaries.

Route Planning: Provide tools for planning and optimizing bus routes based on factors like distance, traffic, and student locations.
Route Scheduling: Manage and update bus schedules, including pick-up and drop-off times for each route.
Route Updates: Allow for real-time updates to routes in case of traffic issues, delays, or changes in schedules.

Alerts and Notifications: Send notifications to parents and school staff about bus arrival times, delays, or other important updates.
Driver Communication: Provide a messaging system for communication between drivers and school staff or parents.
Emergency Alerts: Implement emergency alert mechanisms for situations requiring immediate attention, such as breakdowns or accidents.

Student Information: Maintain data on students, including their assigned bus routes, pick-up and drop-off points, and emergency contacts.
Bus Information: Manage data on buses, including vehicle details, driver assignments, and maintenance records.
Historical Data: Store historical data on bus routes, locations, and schedules for reporting and analysis.

Route Performance: Generate reports on route performance, including on-time performance, delays, and efficiency.
Driver Performance: Provide reports on driver performance, including adherence to schedules and incident reports.
Usage Statistics: Analyze data on bus usage, including student ridership, route popularity, and overall system usage.

Data Protection: Ensure the system complies with data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR or CCPA) to safeguard personal information of students, parents, and drivers.
Access Control: Implement role-based access control to restrict access to sensitive data and system functionalities.
Secure Data Transmission: Use encryption and secure protocols for data transmission and storage.

Responsive Design: Ensure the system is accessible and user-friendly across various devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Intuitive Interface: Design an easy-to-navigate interface for tracking buses, managing routes, and viewing notifications.
Accessibility: Comply with accessibility standards to accommodate users with disabilities.

GPS & Mapping Services: Integrate with GPS services for real-time location tracking and mapping.
Traffic Data: Optionally integrate with traffic data sources to provide real-time traffic updates and route adjustments.
School Management Systems: Integrate with existing school management systems for seamless data sharing and synchronization.

Real-Time Data Processing: Implement real-time data processing to handle GPS updates, notifications, and route management efficiently.
Scalability: Design the system to handle increasing numbers of buses, routes, and users as the school or district grows.
Data Export: Allow users to export data in various formats, such as CSV, Excel, or PDF, for reporting and analysis.
