In large campuses, conducting accurate and real-time safety monitoring of students during recess free activities poses a significant challenge for faculty and staff. Traditional management methods, such as manual patrols, are inefficient and error-prone, especially when teachers need to supervise multiple students simultaneously and corridors are crowded with people. IoT solutions can effectively address this issue, providing innovative approaches for efficiently managing campus activities of teachers and students and ensuring student safety.

Difficulties

In many primary and secondary schools, school administrators are struggling to meet the growing safety management demands on campus. Due to limited faculty and staff, it is extremely difficult to track the exact location of every student, especially in multi-story teaching buildings and complex campus layouts. Lower-grade students, in particular, are active and energetic, and can easily get out of teachers’ sight in crowded corridors and hallways during recess, or even wander into dangerous areas such as unauthorized zones and construction sites.

When this happens, teachers have to spend a great deal of time searching for missing students, which not only disrupts normal teaching order but also exposes students to safety risks. The lack of real-time monitoring is a major obstacle to efficient campus safety management. Without accurate and instant access to the location information of teachers and students, faculty and staff cannot respond quickly to any emergencies. Derfor, there is an urgent need to establish an efficient and transparent system to monitor campus activities of teachers and students and ensure the safety of students during their free activities.

Løsning

To effectively ensure student safety during free activities, schools can adopt a wireless solution based on Bluetooth Lav energi (Ble). Each student is provided with a card-style Ble personnel tracker. These compact cards feature a unique identifier and are integrated with the school’s safety management system. Students can wear them around their necks like regular school ID badges, with no impact on their daily activities.

As students move freely within teaching buildings, corridors and other areas, gateways strategically installed at building entrances, corridor nodes and other key locations collect Bluetooth signals emitted by the beacons. Faculty and staff can then view the real-time location of every student on a centralized online platform that receives data transmitted from the gateways. The system also automatically records students’ activity trajectories for subsequent traceability and management.

I tillegg, schools can set up customized virtual geofences for students. If any gateway detects a student entering a restricted area (such as unopened laboratories, construction zones, or areas beyond the campus boundary), the system will immediately notify on-duty teachers to promptly intervene and prevent dangerous behaviors.

Building on Ble real-time positioning and geofence alerts, this card-style positioning tag also integrates NFC functionality, further expanding campus safety management scenarios and enabling multi-purpose use of a single device. Schools can deploy NFC access control terminals and establish an authorization verification system at key controlled areas including school gates, teaching building entrances and functional classrooms. Only authorized personnel can pass verification and gain access, while unauthorized individuals are denied entry, achieving precise regional permission control.
