1. When a student boards their bus, they present their card to the RFID reader installed on the bus.
2. The SMART Tag program logs the boarding event (recording the timestamp, location, and student information) and verifies whether or not the student is authorized to board.
3. When a student disembarks, they present their card to the RFID reader again, and the program will log the event and verify the student is getting off at their correct stop.
