MAJOR PROJECT
Project Title: Attendance Tracking Through GPS
Duration: 30 Days
Team Size: 4
Technologies Used: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSP, Servlets, JDBC, MySQL
Description:
The Attendance Tracking Through GPS system is a web-based application designed to automate and enhance employee attendance management by integrating Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. The project aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of attendance records, particularly for remote or field-based employees.
Key features include real-time location tracking, secure data logging, user authentication, and centralized record management. The system allows employers to view check-in and check-out times along with the exact location of employees at the time of marking attendance. It minimizes proxy attendance, reduces administrative overhead, and ensures transparency in workforce monitoring.
Key Functionalities:
- GPS-based location tracking during check-in/check-out
- Real-time attendance data submission and retrieval
- Secure user login and role-based access
- Centralized database management using MySQL
- Admin dashboard for monitoring and reporting
The application was developed using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the front end, and JSP, Servlets, JDBC, and MySQL for the backend integration.
