Development of Real Time Life Secure and Tracking System for Swimmers

Abstract

In today’s scenario, there are risks at every moment in our life. People rambling around are found insecure, especially at remote outdoor locations where there is no rescue services provided. One of these scenarios is an aquatic environment such as waterfalls, lakes, trekking, remote locations, water parks, swimming pools, beaches, etc. Many lives are at risks in spite of lifeguard resources. This paper reports a developed real time life secure and tracking system for swimmers. This proposed prototype system monitors the individual’s situation in any aquatic environment especially near beaches. This approach consists of three main modules namely, wearable module, standstill and monitoring system. Biomedical approach is used for detection of life threatening incidents. This wearable device uses several sensors to measure different vital physiological parameters of human body and sends an immediate wireless signal to the lifeguards to provide rescue service to the individuals in danger. This device sends an alarm to a receiver unit besides this, there is also a LED which blinks in any chancy situations which is connected to the standstill system and also the monitoring system. The wearable device is battery operated. A prototype of this system is tested with good results.
