Abstract:
The record of student attendance in most universities is done by calling the roll. This kind of calling is
not only waste of class time, but also cannot be a true reflection of the real student attendance. The use
of an alternative new system is becoming a mandate to manage students and staff attendance. The
Radio Frequency Identification is the technology which will be applied as infrastructure in the indoor
environment to enable the college administration to get the advantages and to improve the university's
monitoring framework, taking into considerations some factors such as time saving, reliability, efficient
and easy to control. This system initially uses a web-based database coupled with RFID tagging system
which acquire a framework with which the majority of the data may be manipulated.

In this paper, for the problem, a system is proposed,

a campus intelligent safety supervision system
based on RFID technology. Through the use of
RFID technology for non-contact automatic
presence recognition features, the system achieves
the goal of supervising the college gate, classroom,
danger zone entrance and other places in the college.
The information is automatically acquired and
transmitted in real time, which makes the
supervision and management of the school more
intelligent. [2].
