AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK-BASED LOCATION-TRACKING SAFETY SYSTEM FOR WOMEN

Abstract

In this Project, we provide a GPS and GSM-based system for monitoring the
whereabouts and safety of female users. A GPS receiver, microcontroller, and GSM modem
make up this sensing and communicating system. The GPS Receiver obtains its coordinates (in
latitude and longitude) from orbiting satellites. This data is processed by the microcontroller and
sent to the user through GSM modem. The MCU may connect with a GSM modem through an
interface. The GSM modem will send a text message to the selected phone number. If a woman
feels threatened and needs to defend herself, she might activate her protective switch. When the
button is pressed, the complete system goes into action, sending an SMS to the appropriate
contact along with the user's precise position through GSM and GPS. When engaged, the
technology delivers an electric shock, protecting women against physical assault.
