Abstract

The safety and security of an individual has become an issue of major concern across the country. Cities like Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai have timings of work that extent to late hours causing people to travel during odd times of the day. This leaves them to be vulnerable to robbery, kidnapping, molestation and other life threatening situations. Our main objective is to reduce such nuisances and offences from occurring if not completely curb it. Our idea is to implement an edge computing device as a wearable device on the user. Be it in the form of a watch or a pendant or even in their clothing. This variation in its application keeps the attacker in ambiguity whether the uses possess any such device or not. The device is capable of reading the user's GPS coordinates after every few (predetermined) number of minutes. This is then stored on the device for when required. The device is triggered upon pressing of a tactile button. This button triggers a response in the device which then reads the previously stored GPS coordinates and inserts it into a Google Maps URL and sends it to the users selected phone numbers. This is done with the help of a GSM module which has the capability of sending a SMS with the victim's last known GPS location as well as navigation from the user's current position to the closest police station. The GPS coordinates of the victims location is tagged and then can be further provided to the respective city's police department to increase security in that area. The timings of these events occurring is recorded and additional measures can be taken to increase police security by patrolling that area at that time.
