Person Locator Using GPS Module and GSM Shield Applied for Children Protection

Abstract

Children safety is very important for parents. Currently, more and more crimes occur against children, one that often happened is kidnapping. From year to year, the number of child abductions continues to increase. Parents should be aware of the safety and their children. In this study, we proposed a system to monitor the presence of children to anticipate the occurrence of crime against children. A person locator system that using GPS Module, GSM Shield, and Arduino can provide a solution for monitoring children. The test results showed that GPS Module, GSM Shield, and Arduino were able to work stable to detect the location of children and able to monitor the movement of children by limiting certain areas as the boundary of the allowed movement of children.
