Design and Implementation of a an IoT-based Kids Tracking System

Due to the increase of accidents that may affect children, there is a need to a robust system that enables real-time tracking of kids in the nursery school. With the emergence of internet of things (IoT) paradigms and the potential of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), used extensively in many fields, developing such system becomes feasible. In this paper, we propose a complete low-cost design and implementation of an IoT-based system that allows schools to track the movement of kids and to automatically take the attendance of kids and teachers during their presence in the nursery through RFID tags and a mobile application. The developed automated tracking kids system was tested successfully under different scenarios which lets users able to use it in many nursery schools with relatively low cost.
