A Novel Application Of IoT In Empowering Women Safety Using GPS Tracking Module

Abstract

Is it ethically right, if I say women in our society are not able to lead their lives independently even in this modernized era of 2020? A lot number of physical abuse attacks, rape cases, assaulting of women are being reported daily and are going exponentially high especially in the metro cities. The presence of CCTVs is helping in some manner, but when the attack happens there is no way to Figure out the accused. This paper is intended with an idea for women self-reliance using technology, abating the crime rate against women and girls in India. The proposal document illustrates a rapid responding, cost-effective and easy to carry device empowering women a secure and independent life. Where IoT aims at unifying everything, we have designed and implemented the proposed system integrating IoT with SIM 800 GSM module, Force Sensing Resistor, Pulse Sensor, Bluetooth Module, LCD, Resistors, Transistors, Diodes, LED, Arduino UNO, Buzzers, PCB, Breadboards, Transformer, Switch, Arduino Compiler, and Neo6mv2 GPS module. The proposed system has a dual security feature using which women in agony can call for help and share her location with their predefined emergency number. She can activate the system in three different mdes as per situation demands, at times she feels she is out in odd hours or insecure. The device can be activated by the victim using panic button or bluetooth module. When the device is activated, pulse sensor, GPS module and GSM module incorporated in it automatically gets activated and the system will broadcast the message alert with latitude and longitude dimensions along with the heart rate measure to the authorized predefined numbers and to the police, concurrently will sound a buzzer relentlessly, lenient nearby comprehend with the happening. ForceSensing Resistor is equipped in this device, in case of any external force experienced by the device during any type of misconduct and mishandling. In the era of pepper spray, smart bands, this device is turned out to be more powerful and efficient in insulating the lives against barbarities cause to women.
