 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Automated monitoring system is now a trend, making it easier to recognize, track, monitor

and add safety values to an object. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is one of the

technologies that made this method more effective and operative when it comes to identifying,

monitoring and security of data. RFID is a general term used to describe a system that transmits

wirelessly, using radio waves (in the form of a unique serial number). It is an automated

identification and data collection technology, that ensures more accurate and timely data entry.

Using this technology, attendance monitoring is systematic and time-efficient for an individual

may simply pass the RFID tags through the RFID sensor to identify the data and store it in the

database.

Nowadays, institutions and universities want to be secured in all aspects of life. By using

RFID as a tool to monitor the attendance, this will lessen the worries and over thinking of parents

and teachers to students who are currently enrolled for the semester. RFID is not in fact a fresh

technology; due to its present low price and developments in other computing fields that open up

more application areas, it has only lately received more attention. Instead of wasting time in

monitoring, they can maximize time to be more productive in other aspects of their work. In order

to ensure student’s welfare in an institution where safety is at stake, student monitoring system

would help to lessen unidentified absences. Moreover, teachers will easily recognize students who

are not present in the class.

One of the privileges that the institution could give is to monitor the presence of learners

within the premise. Studies show that there are some instances in which learners come to school

2
but in the middle of the semester, they failed to attend their classes. To ensure the safety of every

student, the use of RFID technology will be significant in decreasing dropouts due to absences and

unwanted accident reports of the students.

One of the main problems nowadays in schools and other colleges is lack of

communication, security and automation. Lack of communication results to misunderstanding,

misinformation and wrong assumptions to parents and teachers when it comes to announcements

and news related inside the campus. Lack of security will lead the parents to distrust the school,

worry about the safety of the students and may affect the school’s reputation. Lack of automation

causes unauthorized access, loose security, and unconfirmed data that may affect the people inside

the premise. Since most of the schools and institutions are expected to be equipped with certain

devices to protect them from fire, accidents, theft and other related problems, RFID can be highly

utilized to acquire information when these types of problems occur.

According to the principal of Senior High Department of Brokenshire College, most of

their students are absent in the first subject. The principal added that it is difficult to determine the

presence of the student inside the campus because they would need to check every corner of the

school considering the time it takes to do the task. With this, the researchers would like to propose

a monitoring system integrated with RFID technology. In order to implement this project, RFID

tags, card readers and web interfaces are required. The card reader should positively identify ID

cards and provide consistent logs and records. The records must be stored in the central database

in order to generate reports and the device must be capable to communicate with the central

database server. When considering the complacency in every situation, automated monitoring

would help the school in monitoring the students.

Project Context

This project entitled Attendance Monitoring System using RFID Technology for

Brokenshire College Senior High Department is intended to help students, parents, and the

faculty/staff to monitor student’s attendance inside the campus.

Purpose and Description of the Study

The purpose of the study is to create a monitoring system that will be used to maintain a

daily record of a student's arrival and departure time. Furthermore, this will help the faculty and

staff to have accurate information from each student who will enter the school premises.

Also, the proposed system will greatly contribute to the following:

1. Faculty and Staff (Senior High Department) – The faculty and staff will be able

to confirm if the student is present in the premise. Also, teachers can validate the

students’ presence by checking the records in the database for a certain day, week

and month.

2. Students (Grade 11 and 12) – This will help the students record their presence

inside the premise that serves as their attendance and provides security by keeping

their record in case of danger or threat.

3. Parents – The parents will be aware of student’s arrival and departure inside the

campus by receiving a notification through SMS (short message service) for

security purposes.

4. School – The school will have a record of the students’ arrival and departure in the

premise that can be used as an additional security measure in case of danger or

threat by checking the records in the database for a certain day, week and month.

Objectives

The researchers aim to develop an attendance monitoring system which uses RFID

Technology as a tool to validate student’s information. With the circumstances mentioned

above, this study would like to specifically achieve the following:

 Obtain a record of time in/ time out of each student.

 Monitor the student’s presence/absence inside the campus.

 Generate an attendance report to be used by the faculty teachers.

 Notify the parents of each student’s arrival and departure in the campus.

 Maximize the use of SMS module to disseminate alerts and announcements.

Scope and Limitations

This project entitled Attendance Monitoring System using RFID Technology for

Brokenshire College Senior High Department is a web application. The system can only

monitor the student’s arrival and departure from the school premise if the student tapped their

identification card through the reader that will be stored in the database. The system will

automatically send an SMS to the parents registered contact number whenever the student enters

and leaves the school premise. Internet connection is required to access the application and send

data to the server. The system can produce a softcopy or hardcopy of the attendance report. In case

of electricity loss, a 12v power supply allows the system to continue working. In case of internet

loss, the data will be temporarily stored in the allotted memory of the device. It will send data to

the server as soon as the internet is available. Furthermore, the system is not capable of determining

whether the student is the owner of the ID or if a student uses the ID of their classmates. Faculty

and Staff attendance may also be monitored using the system.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents different researches and other literatures form both foreign and local

researchers, which have significant bearings on attendance monitoring that will help in the

development of this study. Some literatures with different platforms are believed to be useful in

the advancement and awareness of the study.

Attendance Monitoring

Attendance Monitoring is defined as a method in recording the presence of a certain

individual at a certain place or event based on the individual time table. Attendance Monitoring is

significant to all organizations such as educational institutions for they manage and control the

success of any organization by keeping track of people within the organization such as students to

maximize their performance. Research has shown that consistent attendance is closely linked to

good academic performance. Students that are interested to attend classes want to be successful in

academics.

One of the problems faced by an institution is the absence of a student. Student absenteeism

is defined as a period of time when a student does not attend school and it has become major and

continuous problem among high school students in many countries. Because absenteeism has a

complex nature, the consequences of high-level school absenteeism can be detrimental for

students. The absenteeism among high school students can lead to more negative effect such as

low academic performance and many social problems.

6
RFID Technology

RFID is a technology that uses communication through radio waves to transfer data

between a reader and an electronic tag attached to an entity for the purpose of identification,

tracking and surveillance of an individual. RFID is an automated identification and data collection

technology, that ensures more accurate and timely data entry. This technology is used as a medium

for many tasks and activities such as managing supply chains, parking lot access and control,

tracking and traceability, health care industry such as patient tracking, product authentication,

transient carrier labelling animal and specimen identification and ticketing such as baggage-

passenger tracking. RFID technology offers several key benefits such as no line of sight needed,

bidirectional communication, reliable in tough environments, bulk data detection, and superior

data capabilities.

The application of RFID Technology in monitoring students attendance will lead to

elimination or reduction of the quality time wasted during manual collection of attendance,

creation of a student database management system that is not prone to errors or being manipulated

by anyone and above all aids in better management of classroom statistics for allocation of

attendance in generating a report. RFID tags are worn by students and passing through the entrance

with an RFID reader will allow. Their information will be recorded in the database upon their

arrival and departure in the premise. Some of the universities in the Philippines named Lyceum of

the Philippines University in Laguna, Christ the King College of Science and Technology in

Muntinlupa, Laguna State Polytechnic University and many other institutions are starting to use

RFID technology as a mean to monitor the attendance of the students.

checking. The main goal of the android application is to make the roll call of each student much

easier in a certain subject. The android application can easily check the attendance by the use of

portable hotspot that is provided in every android device. Students may need to turn on their WIFI

signals and then join the group created for attendance checking. Furthermore, the researchers

recommend that the students should have the feature of viewing their attendance record, a page for

the administrator and an application for iOS to be developed.

Biometric Attendance Monitoring System of Cagayan State University

In this study, the researchers developed an attendance monitoring system using biometric

fingerprint for their employees. The researchers used Visual Basic 6.0 as the programming

language and MS Access as the Database Management System in developing the system. The main

goal of the system is to enforce security in monitoring the employees’ attendance and prevent

employee time theft. The researchers stated that the system might influence the employees to

become punctual and more responsive in performing tasks based on the prescribed number of

working hours.

Ensuring Quality Performance of Faculty Attendance Management System

The researchers created a web and mobile faculty attendance monitoring System using

CodeIgniter PHP framework and MySQL. The researchers stated that the system can generate

faculty attendance reports and analytics; notify faculty members, chairperson and dean regarding

absences; allow faculty members to receive notifications and send reasons for absences; and allow

chairpersons and deans to approve or deny appeals for excused absences. Furthermore, the

8
researchers recommend some fixes in conflicting schedules due to the room assignment and other

changes in the teaching assignments of the faculty.

Review of Related Local Study

Laguna Student Electronic Attendance and Logging System

This study uses Visual Basic and PHP as the programming language including jQuery

framework and MySQL as the database engine. The researchers created an electronic attendance

and logging system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Short Messaging Service

provides a flexible real time reports of attendance and logs of the students’ attendance. The system

also sends daily SMS to parents about the students’ log-in and log-out time recorded in the database

CKSM Student Attendance Monitoring System with RFID Technology

The researchers developed an attendance monitoring system for students using RFID tags

and reader. The system can identify the time in and time out of each student as long as they tap

their RFID card to the RFID Reader. The researchers stated that every tap will issue an SMS

notification to the parent or the guardian of each student. Furthermore, researchers recommend

that the attendance should be online so that it can be viewed anytime and anywhere by the teachers

and advisers. Also, they recommend that the attendance report should have an option to download

the attendance report.

RFID Based Employee Attendance Monitoring System for LSPU SPCC

In this study, the researchers created an employee attendance monitoring system using

RFID tags and reader. Also, the researchers used RS 232 to TTL converter to convert the data

9
coming from the reader. Visual basic was used as the programming language and Microsoft Access

for the database. The researchers recommend that there should be an incorporate turnstile at the

gate entrance that will be attached to the RFID reader to ensure the security of the premise and

track unauthorized entry.

Review of Related Foreign Literature

Requirements Model for an Integrated Attendance Monitoring System

The researchers created an integrated attendance monitoring system to improve student

engagement, performance, and retention of each student. The researchers used a feature tree model

(FTM) to describe functional requirements and a use-case model to capture the key user

requirements of the system. Moreover, the researchers intended to support the advancement of

attendance monitoring by providing functional and user requirements that can be adopted and re-

used by education systems providers.

Automated Attendance Monitoring System using Android Platform

The researchers used MySQL as the database engine, Eclipse framework as the

programming language and apacheTomcat7 for the server of the system. The researchers

developed a new system for monitoring attendance of the students using android platform. The

study uses tablets that is connected to the WIFI connection. The students will be able to mark their

attendance as soon as the teachers allow it in the system. The researchers concluded that the new

system showed improvements compared to paper-based approach.

A Secure Students’ Attendance Monitoring System

The researchers presented a fingerprint based biometric cryptosystem for attendance

monitoring. The researchers collected and captured 500 fingerprints, out of which 300 fingerprints

10
were used for training while 200 fingerprints were used for testing. The researchers used Java as

the programming language and MySQL that serves as the database engine. Minutiae based

algorithm was also used in this study to extract and select biometric features. Also, the researchers

used False Reject Rate (FRR) and False Accept Rate (FAR) as performance metrics to evaluate

system’s performance.

Review of Related Foreign Study

RFID Based Attendance System with an SMS Alert

The researchers developed an attendance recording system using Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID) technology. The researchers used Visual Basic as the programming language

and Microsoft Access for the database engine. As the students tap their RFID card to the reader, it

will send an SMS to their parents. The researchers concluded that the system, mainly the hardware

is very portable and can be carried to the class for taking the attendance. Since it consumes low

power voltage, it can run using power adapter or battery power in case of electricity loss.

Student Tracking and Attendance Monitoring System Using RFID

This study uses Visual Basic as the programming language and Microsoft Access for the

database engine. The researchers created a system that gives automated approach in maintaining

the student’s attendance. The researchers stated that it is necessary to issue RFID tag to each

student in the college to be able to track students inside the campus and enhance attendance

monitoring system. The researchers concluded that the system improved the process of manual

attendance and attendance filling is made easy and time required reduced. The system the also

lessen the frequency of student bunking the lectures.

RFID-Based Students Attendance Management System

11
 This study focuses on the utilization and versatility of RFID in implementing functional

and automatic student course attendance recording system. The study uses Microsoft Visual C# as

the programming language and Microsoft SQL Server for the database engine. The researchers

highly recommend the use of High Frequency (HF) active RFID tags against passive Low

frequency (LF) RFID tags for better performance and flexibility of users. Also, the researchers

recommend the combination of thumbprint, facial recognition and RFID technology to monitor

students’ attendance in the future.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Based Attendance System with Short Message

Service (SMS) Backup

The researchers developed an RFID based student attendance system with short message

service (SMS) notification backup to generate accurate reports. Visual basic is the programming

language used and LCD is provided which is executed using C language. The researchers stated

that the system is helpful in saving valuable time of both students and lecturers and it also helps

generate accurate reports. SMS feature serves as the backup if data loss occurs on the PC. The

researchers recommend incorporating a facial recognition application that would serve to further

increase the biometric security of the system against impersonation by erring students.

Design of an RFID based Students/Employee Attendance System

The researchers created a system to improve the management of attendance of both

students and employees in the institution. The main objective of the study is to reduce

administrative errors and increase studying quality and performance of students. MySQL serves

as the database engine, PHP as the programming language and WAMP Server for the server. The

researchers stated that the preliminary results show that the system works successfully in real time.

The system is efficient, flexible, and comprehensive and can be adapted as an attendance system

12
for any institution. The researchers recommend the use of biometrics or any additional control

equipment to provide protection from misuse and deceit of information.

RFID and IOT for Attendance Monitoring System

The study is focused on developing an attendance monitoring system by using Internet of

Things (IoT) and Cloud technology. The researchers stated that it will produce a real time

attendance monitoring system that can be accessed by the lecturer, campus administration and

parents. Also, the researchers stated that students who are not present can be immediately

discovered and can be taken immediate action and the learning process can run smoothly. The

researchers concluded that the presence of using RFID is faster than the traditional way and the

implementation of the Internet system of things and data storage cloud enables the system to run

in real time with accurate data.

 CHAPTER III

TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

This chapter discusses the technicality of the project, details of the technologies to be used

and its functionality.

Technicality of the Project

The Senior High Students of Brokenshire College is manually checked by the guards in the

entrance with their ID as they enter the school. Currently, there is no information system used in

monitoring the attendance of the students aside from the biometric fingerprints used by the faculty

and staff of the institution. Also, the institution does not have any information to validate the

existence of the student inside the premise and parents are not informed as the student enters and

leaves the campus.

The researchers proposed to develop a Student Information System that will serve as the

recognition phase as the student enters the school by tapping the RFID to the Scanner. Also, by

adding a photo for each student, it will help recognize their identity and it will be displayed in the

screen as they enter the school. The faculty and staff may be given a unique username and

password to access the system. Also, SMS (Short Messaging Service) will be used as a

communication tool to notify the parents.

Details of Technology Used

This section will discuss about the technologies being used, its definition and functionality.

PHP - is a scripting language used for the development of web applications. By scripting language,

we mean a program that is script-based (lines of code) written for the automation of tasks. It can

be embedded in HTML, and it's well suited for web development and the creation of dynamic web

pages for web applications, e-commerce applications, and database applications.

14
HTML - This is the language that Web pages are written in. If you want to create really great Web

pages then you will need to learn this. As far as computer languages go this is the easiest to learn.

You can create a Web page without it using a Web page editing program but the program will still

use HTML to create the page.

CSS - Cascading style sheets are used to format the layout of Web pages. They can be used to

define text styles, table sizes, and other aspects of Web pages that previously could only be defined

in a page.

JavaScript - is a programming language designed by Sun Microsystems, in conjunction with

Netscape that can be integrated into standard HTML pages. It is a scripting language, and cannot

be used to create stand-alone programs. Instead, it is used mainly to create dynamic, interactive

webpages.

MySQL - is an Oracle-backed open source relational database management system (RDBMS)

based on Structured Query Language (SQL). MySQL runs on virtually all platforms, including

Linux, UNIX and Windows. Although it can be used in a wide range of applications, MySQL is

most often associated with web applications and online publishing.

RFID tags - are a type of tracking system that serves the same purpose of barcodes in order to

identify items. RFID is short for “radio frequency identification,” and as such, RFID tags utilize

radio frequency technology. These radio waves will transmit data from the tag to a reader, which

then transmits the information to an RFID computer program.

RFID reader - is a device used to gather information from an RFID tag, which is used to track

individual objects. Radio waves are used to transfer data from the tag to a reader.

Wireless Router - is a device that performs the functions of a router and also includes the functions

of a wireless access point. It is used to provide access to the Internet or a private computer network.

15
It can function in a wired LAN (local area network), in a wireless-only LAN (WLAN), or in a

mixed wired/wireless network, depending on the manufacturer and model.

How the Project will Work?

The proposed project will work in a computer with the operating system Microsoft

Windows 7 or any upgraded OS, with at least 1.6GHz or faster processor that can run the system

at ease period of time and running at 1024 x 768 or higher-resolution display. The authorized

person or the Admin, will be assigned to the Office of the Student Affairs (OSA). He/ She must

log in to open the system and add student information such as name, grade level, section,

parent/guardian’s name, parent/guardians’ mobile number. Each student will be assigned an ID

number in their RFID card. Since there are existing students, their current ID number will be

attached to the identification number in the RFID card. Students need to tap their RFID card to the

RFID scanner and it will be recorded directly to the database. When an RFID card is tapped to the

RFID scanner, a text message will be sent to the parent/guardian’s registered mobile number and

inform them that their student has entered the school premise safely. A second attempt will be

recorded as time out and a message will be sent again to the parent’s registered mobile number

that their student left the school.

The Office of the Student Affairs (OSA) will be the administrator of the system and in-

charge of the privileges and access to the system. It includes the registration of the faculty and

staff with their name, advisory class, section, grade level and subjects that they are teaching. Also,

the Admin will provide the credentials to the advisers and teachers so that they can access the

system. Teachers can monitor the presence of their advisory class by (1) opening their browsers in

any device connected to the internet and (2) type the given IP address. They will be able to see a

table of students, which may be filtered by name, section or grade level. The general attendance

16
report can be accessed by the adviser or the principal. The Office of the Student Affairs (OSA)

will be able to generate a weekly, monthly semi-annual and annual report of the class or an

individual student, provided with a softcopy or a hardcopy.

 CHAPTER IV

METHODOLOGY

This section discusses the design and methods used in developing the project, hardware,

software and network architecture.

Research Design

Figure 1 Input-Process-Output

Registered Students need to tap their ID tags to the RFID reader to enter the campus. The

RFID reader will validate the ID and automatically record students’ time in and out which will

serve as the attendance of the students. The system will automatically send SMS notification to

the parent’s mobile number. The admin, which is the principal, is the only user who can access the

annual attendance report of the system. Teachers can only access the daily attendance report

through wireless local area network by typing the URL to the browsers of their phones or any

devices connected to the internet.

Theoretical Methodology

The developers used Extreme Programming because it best serves the amount of time that

the researchers have.

18
 Figure 2 Extreme Programming Model

Extreme Programming is intended to improve software quality and responsiveness to

changing customer requirements. The Senior High Department of Brokenshire College will be

treated as the customer of the project. As a type of agile software development, it advocates

frequent "releases" in short development cycles, which is intended to improve productivity and

introduce checkpoints at which new customer requirements can be adopted.

Release Planning

The researchers started the project on August 26, 2019 and expect to end on December

2019. The project approximately takes three to four months to finish.

Iteration Planning

The researchers decided to meet three times a week. A work breakdown structure was

developed to assign individual task to be accomplished by the researchers.

Development and Testing

These are the development tools that will be used in creating the system:

 Composer – is an application-level package manager for the PHP programming language

that provides a standard format for managing dependencies of PHP software and required

libraries. It runs through the command line and installs dependencies (e.g. libraries) for an

application. It also allows users to install PHP applications that are available which is its

main repository containing available packages. It also provides autoload capabilities for

libraries that specify autoload information to ease usage of third-party code.

 Npm – is the package manager for the Node JavaScript platform. It puts modules in place

so that node can find them, and manages dependency conflicts intelligently. Most

commonly, it is used to publish, discover, install, and develop node programs.

 Sublime Text –is a proprietary cross-platform source code editor with a Python application

programming interface (API). It natively supports many programming languages and

markup languages, and functions can be added by users with plugins, typically community-

built and maintained under free-software licenses.

25
  XAMPP - is a software distribution which provides the Apache web server, MySQL

database (actually MariaDB), Php and Perl (as command-line executables and Apache

modules) all in one package. It also contains filezilla servers, wordpress and joomla which

we can use to provide login and logout sessions, cookies.

 Google Chrome - The developers recommend this web browser to better view the

application. Google Chrome is a cross-platform web browser developed by Google. With

a robust feature set, full Google Account integration, a thriving extension ecosystem,

Google Chrome is a reliable suite of mobile apps. Chrome is capable of blocking ads that

don’t conform to accepted industry standards.

Implementation Plan

For the web application to be implemented the researcher used Laravel framework that

serves as the API of the system in order to create, read, delete and update data. Also, by using

RFID tags and reader, the researchers will be able to develop a student attendance monitoring

system.

Link testing – Link testing are essential for developing the system where we create test cases. The

main objective is to test each and every link that is part of the design and database once the initial

code is developed. Researchers used link testing to ensure that a group of tables in the database

are correctly connected by testing the links. Also, the researchers performed individual testing of

the database to ensure that the functions are well integrated for the completion of the system.

System Testing - The researchers used system testing to evaluate the system's compliance with its

specified requirements. The researcher tested if the system was responsive and data are accurately

recorded. Also, the system seeks to enhance the attendance system of the institution and add

security to the students by recording the attendance in a certain period of time.

26
Test Plan

The web application for attendance monitoring system will allow students to record their

status as they enter and leave the campus. By tapping the RFID card to the RFID scanner, located

at the entrance gate of Brokenshire College, the system will send a text message informing the

parent/guardians of the student that they arrived and departed the school premise. The test will

help the researchers to understand if the process was successful and the features and functions are

met.
