Women’s Safety Device with GPS Tracking & Alerts

Women’s safety is a very important issue due to rising crimes against women these days. To help resolve this issue we propose a GPS based women’s safety system that has dual security feature. This device consists of a system that ensures dual alerts in case a woman is harassed 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. This Project presents a women safety detection system using GPS and GSM modems. The system can be interconnected with the alarm system and alert the police station and relatives. This detection and messaging system is composed of a GPS receiver, Arduino board and a GSM Modem. GPS Receiver gets the location information from satellites in the form of latitude and longitude. The arduino board processes this information and this processed information is sent to the user using GSM modem. 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-defence then she can press the switch which is allotted to her. By pressing the switch, the entire system will be activated then immediately a sms will be sent to concern person with location using GSM and GPS.
