A Comprehensive IoT-Enabled LoRa Tracking System for Enhancing Adventurer Safety and Situational Awareness

Mountain climbing and trekking are popular adventure activities that attract enthusiasts worldwide, offering thrilling experience amidst breathtaking natural landscape. However, these pursuits also entail inherent risks, such as altitude sickness, injuries and the potential to get lost in unfamiliar terrains. To mitigate these risks and enhance safety, this system proposes the development of a tracking system utilizing a LoRa module. The system also includes a receiving station that collects data on an IoT server about changes in health status across different places. The technology is ideal for remote areas where there is no network coverage, and traditional communication. The LoRaWAN technology used in this system is designed to provide long-range, low-power wireless communication, making it ideal for battery-powered, wearable devices like the proposed safety device.
