Arduino based Rescue device with GPS Alert for Women Safety Application

Abstract

In today’s world both men and women are having equal responsibility in their work fields. Women face challenges in the workplace and safety become a major issue. Increase of issues like sexual harassment is most often happening in frequent. The thought haunting in women mind is how to move freely in streets during the odd hours. Women’s safety plays a very vital role due to rising crimes against women. This, paper suggests a new perspective to use technology for women safety. To help resolve this issue we propose a GPS based women’s safety system that has dual security feature, consists of dual-alerts that is voice module and message is sent through GSM. It can be turned on by a woman, even she thinks that she’s in trouble. The device can be interconnected with the alarm system and alert the neighbors. The detection and messaging system is composed of a GPS receiver, GPS Receiver gets the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude. The user receives the information from GSM which receives the processed information from the Micro controller. A GSM modem is interfaced to the MCU. The GSM modem sends an SMS to the predefined mobile number. When a woman is in danger and in need of self-defense then she can press the button, which is allotted to her. By pressing the button, the entire system will be activated then immediately a SMS will be sent to concern person with location using GSM and GPS.
