Student Tracking System Assignment

Objective:

• Design an RFID-based student tracking system for Washington-Lee High School

Requirements:

• Every student must have a tag
• Classroom attendance can be efficiently taken
• Real-time student locations
  • Floor #
  • Hall #
  • Room #

Implementation costs:

• tags for every student (plain, card, implants)
• transponders (RFID readers)
• computer system?
• cabling?

Floor plans:

• You should verify your RFID readers' range and measure the size of the hallway to determine the appropriate locations of RFID readers.
• You should download the following floor plans and clearly mark where you would place RFID readers:
  • Media:1st-Floor.jpg
  • Media:2nd-Floor.jpg
  • Media:3rd-Floor.jpg
  • Media:4th-Floor.jpg

Deliverable:

• Introduction
• Design description
  • # of tags, what kind of tags, make, model, cost, etc.
  • # of readers, their locations, make, model, cost, etc.
  • Be sure to include the MARKED floor plans with locations of readers
  • any other information regarding the design
• Implementation costs:
  • Spreadsheet / table outlining total cost of system
• System Evaluation / Conclusion
  • Advantages of your system
  • Disadvantages of your system
  • Social and ethical concerns

Presentation:

• Once you have completed the paper deliverable, you should begin working on a presentation that outlines your system's design.
• The presentation should be 5-6 minutes long
• After each presentation, there will be a Question & Answer period of 2-3 minutes

BEST DESIGN AWARD:

• The best design will be determined using three criteria:
  • Overall cost of implementation, advantages, and disadvantages of the system
  • Design document
  • Presentation
