Tiivistelmä
In Saint-Petersburg, Russia, most people choose to send their children to state kindergartens. However, the current situation is that there are 15 or more children in one group with one or two teachers. In addition, kindergartens’ playgrounds not always exist. In this situation, teachers have to take their group to governmental gardens, recreation areas, and parks, and closely monitor all the children. It is hard to not lose sight of a single child and, with the lack of staff, this becomes a real issue.
The proposed solution in this master’s thesis is a system that could resolve the problem of tracking children outdoors. This system is based on wireless technologies and trending localizing methods. The main difference of the system from all currently popular tracking devices for children lies in the fact that this system is meant to be used by kindergarten teachers, and not by parents, therefore, it is meant to track a group of up to 30 children.
To apprehend public opinion regarding children’s tracking, a questionnaire has been made. The system proposed is designed taking into account parental opinion. A group of experiments were conducted to specify what combination of methods and techniques should provide the most accurate results.
