Women's Safety Device with GPS Tracking & Alerts

Abstract

Women's safety is a very important issue because growing crimes against women these days. To help determination this issue we suggest a GPS based women’s safety system that has double security feature. This device consists of a system that ensures double alerts in case a woman is worried or she thinks she is in trouble. This system can be turned on by a woman in case she even thinks she would be in trouble. It is useful because once an incident occurs with a woman she may or may not get the chance to press the emergency button. In a button press alerting system, in case a woman is hit on the head from behind, she may never get the chance to press panic button and no one will know she is in trouble.Our system solves this problem. This device is to be turned on in progress by a woman in case she is walking on a lonely road or some dark path or any remote area. Only the woman authentic to the devices can start the system by fingerprint scan. Once started the devices needs the woman to continuously scan her finger on the system every 1 minute, else the system now sends her location to the approved personnel number through SMS message as a security measure and also sounds a buzzer continuously so that neighbouring people may understand the situation. In this case even if someone hits the woman or the woman falls down and get unconscious, she does not need to do anything, the system does not get her finger scan in 1 minute and it automatically starts the dual security feature. This device will verify to be very useful in saving lives as well as preventing atrocities against women. The device uses GPS sensor beside with a GSM modem, LCD display, LEDS and microcontroller based circuit to succeed this system.
