Prototype of an intelligent system based on RFID and GPS technologies for women safety

Abstract

Security for women has become a major issue in most of the countries. Survey results shows that every year around 25000 crime against women were booked across India. From the last ten years, the statistics among women abusement, sexual harassment have been steadily increasing. It has become mandatory to come up with a solution to protect the women from being a victim and to reduce the attacks. The main objective of this paper is to design and implement a highly reliable system for protecting women from being harassed. In this paper, we have developed an intelligent women safety system using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Global positioning system (GPS). The main idea here is using a active RFID tag with passive RFID reader to scan the information and this information is transferred to the AT89C52 microcontroller where in the contacts of around 4 to 5 people is stored in the data base. Once the information is received by the controller, it sends the message to the contacts through GSM module and the location is tracked through the GPS. The simulation is done in ISIS proteus.
