Design of Low-Cost Women Safety System using GPS and GSM

Abstract

In 2019, India recorded an overall 4,05,861 cases of crime against women, it was a rise of 7% from 2018. In 2019 total of 32,033 cases of rape were lodged, which was 7.3% of all crimes against women [18]. Data shows that the crime rate registered per lakh women population increased from 58.8 in 2018 to 62.4 in 2019 [18] [20]. There are many problems like sexual harassment, domestic violence, eve-teasing that are being faced by women. Sometimes victims don't have proof to prove to mishappen [20]. We proposed a device which will send an SMS to the registered mobile numbers when a button is pressed or when the women fall and save voice recording of that situation as proof. There are two separate parts in our proposed model, first is a transmitter which will be on the wrist and the other is a receiver part which contains Arduino UNO interfaced with SIM900A GSM module, NEO6M GPS module [15], RF TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER module, BUZZER, MPU6050 (accelerometer) and ISD1820 (voice recorder) which will be fit on the jacket. When either a button is pressed from transmitter or MPU6050 (accelerometer) detects any fall, second part got activated and an emergency message will be sent with the current latitude and longitude, the buzzer will make a loud sound to get the attention of nearby people for quick help and ISD1820 (voice recorder) start recording voice as a proof.
