EDUTRANSIT – WINNING BIG IDEA(2025-26)
Smart School Bus Safety (Grade 10 N)
THE PROBLEM STATEMENT
School transport systems depend on passive CCTV and slow boarding methods, which are ineffective at detecting bullying, emotional distress, or verbal abuse. RFID systems can slow boarding.
OBJECTIVE:
To enhance student safety and emotional well-being in school buses using a smart, efficient, and privacy-focused system.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
EduTransit is a low-cost retrofit system that upgrades existing buses with AI-based emotion, profanity, and facial recognition tools without requiring new infrastructure.
FEATURES:
Emotion and sentiment detection
Profanity-trigger alerts without audio recording
Fast LiDAR-based facial recognition
Real-time safety alerts
Privacy-conscious, low-maintenance design
GOALS:
Prevent bullying and unsafe behaviour
Improve student well-being during transit
Reduce boarding delays
Promote innovation in school transport systems
