Abstract: The Smart Bus Management System automates college transport operations using IoT and RFID technology, addressing inefficiencies in manual attendance and bus tracking. Each bus is equipped with an RFID tag, and a NodeMCU (ESP8266) with an RFID reader at the campus gate detects arrivals. Data is transmitted via Wi-Fi to a central server, auto- matically recording arrival times. An online dashboard enables students, drivers, and administrators to manage attendance and monitor real-time bus status. The system improves data accuracy to 99.6%, reduces costs by 81%, and offers a reliable solution for educational institutions.
