Women Safety Device with GPS Tracking and SMS Alerts

This paper presents the design and implementation of an women’s safety device with GPS tracking and SMS alerts. The main purpose of this project is to introduce the concept of a women's safety device for application in India. The main purpose of this device is to act as an emergency device for women who are in potential danger of being attacked. The woman possessing this device will press the panic button if in danger. An SMS containing the latitude and longitude coordinates will be sent to preferred mobile numbers informing them of the danger and the location. The received coordinates can be viewed on goggle maps to determine the location of the woman and appropriate help can be provided. This concept was devised in the wake of serious crime against women in India and to help curb those crimes.
