 INTRODUCTION

Baggages are often the target of thieves because of its valuable things that can be resold

(M. Villanueva, 2015). According to the Social Weather Station (SWS) survey 5.6% of Filipinos

or around 1.3 million families fell victim to bag theft. Based on the survey, bag theft was identified

as the most common cases. It increases from 4.6% or 1.1 million to 5.2% or 1.2 million from the

period April-September 2018 to the second half of the year (Mateo, 2018).

“Salisi gang” is one of the crimes that continued to rise in the Philippines. The members of

the gang lurk anywhere where there are crowded people – malls, restaurants and fast-food joints.

Thief usually targets the laptop, wallet or the bag. Once executed, they leave immediately as if

nothing happens (NCRPO, 2015).

One factor that causes this to happen is the lack of security. Lack of security tempts the

thieves to steal because the bags are easy to access. To prevent bag theft using anti-theft system

was more secure method to protect valuable things.

Over the last 20 years, alarm sound has become even more widespread because of a greater

interest in and attention to safety, and also to the litigation which may follow when adverse

incidents occur. Alarms can be too loud and shrill which suits best for anti-theft security systems

(Edworthy, 2016).

In the study conducted by Shweta (2016) in their study entitled Multipurpose Smart Bag,

they also used RFID, a device that prevents misplacement important things and tracking the theft

by using a Bluetooth module that detect the connectivity between the mobile phone and bag.

1
However, the user must press the button first before tracing the location using GPS of mobile, and

a SMS will be sent to victim’s contacts. (Shweta, 2016)

In the study conducted by Kunal Maurya, Mandeep Singh and Neelu Jain (2012) entitled

Real time vehicle tracking system using GSM and GPS technology, an Anti-Theft tracking system.

This study works using a GPS and GSM technology wherein the stolen vehicle will be tracked by

the GPS Device and the GSM device will send the location ( latitude and longitude ) of the vehicle.

( Maurya, K., M. Singh, N. Jain, 2012)

Despite of various technologies invented and introduced to prevent theft, there are still

technologies that don’t allow the user to recover and know the status of the object (M. Ramadan,

2012). One of this was the Bluetooth anti-theft alarm, it is used to find phones, keys, wallet, and

bags but this technology has no provision to track and view the location of the object; 125dB loud

Portable Round Shape Security Alarm System is a keychain that detects thief. When a thief was

detected, it causes the device to produce a loud sound. Moreover, the sound only last about 20-30

minutes and the device don’t allow the user to view and track the location of the object.

Luggage tracking system using IOT, it was designed to track the luggage and bags when

get lost or stolen in public or private area. However, this technology can only track the object but

the location of the object can’t view the exact location and it has no alarm system to notify the

owner if the bag was stolen (M. Jain, 2017).

There are several technologies that help the researchers to get ideas to prevent bag theft.

One of this was the ultrasonic sensor, it is a sensor that sends ultrasonic sound waves and waits for

the reflected sound waves. When the reflected sound wave is detected, the distance of an object

will be measured by the sensor (D. K. Thankacham, 2013)

2
 GPS Module receives data such as location coordinates, speed and time continuously from

the satellite and delivers correspondingly to the microcontroller. The antenna receives the input

from the GPS Module and information concerning the position, velocity, and time (I. Asianoba,

2018)

GSM Modem is a compact and reliable wireless modules, it has a very powerful single-

chip processor. This modem requires a Sim card to function (R. Okeke, 2018)

With these ideas, the researcher decided to construct a cheaper anti-theft device which is

B.A.T.M.A.N or Baggage Alarm with Tracking Mechanism Using Arduino Nano wherein it aims

to notify the user via SMS notification with its specific location and alarm if his/her luggage was

stolen.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to create a lightweight and user friendly B.A.T.M.A.N or Baggage Alarm

with Tracking Mechanism Using Arduino Nano with SMS Notification to notify the owner if

his/her luggage was stolen.

Specifically, the research question to be addressed are the following:

1. Can the device determine if the baggage was lifted?

2. Can the device give an SMS notification in time?

3. Can the device give an accurate global positioning data?

4. Determine the consumer’s perceptions towards B.A.T.M.A.N. in terms of: consumer’s

satisfaction levels, personal interest, relative advantages and designs functionality.

Hypothesis

Null Hypothesis (H0)

H0- The B.A.T.M.A.N or Baggage Alarm with Tracking Mechanism Using Arduino Nano is

not effective, acceptable and efficient as anti-theft device and a tracking system.

Alternative Hypothesis (H1)

H1-The B.A.T.M.A.N or Baggage Alarm with Tracking Mechanism Using Arduino Nano is

effective, acceptable and efficient as anti-theft device and a tracking system.

Significance of the Study

The findings of the study would be beneficial to groups of persons, especially the

following:

STUDENTS - This study could grow their interest in the field of programming and robotics.

TEACHERS – This study could help teachers for they could relay their knowledge about the usage

of robotics in real life application.

FUTURE RESEARCHERS- This study would be beneficial to the future researchers because this

will serve as part of their starting point as they innovate devices related in security system and as

well creating new ideas.

PEOPLE OF THE SOCIETY- This could help them reduce the loss of their property inside their

bags.

Scope and Limitations

The study only focuses in creating anti-theft device for baggage to prevent “salisi gang”.

Specifically, it sought to determine the effectiveness, acceptability and efficiency as an anti-theft

device and a tracking system. The features were as follows: (1) Ultrasonic sensor will sense the

abnormal change of the height of the bag when the bag is being taken through lifting; (2) GPS

Module, wherein it determine the location of the bag; (3) GSM, it notifies the user if the bag was

stolen and it sends the exact location of the bag through SMS Notification, though the time delay

of receiving the SMS notification is dependent to the signal strength; (4) Buzzer, it makes noise if

the bag was lifted. This device can also be attached to motorcycle or anything that is prone to thief.

5
The buzzer can be turned on or off but it needs to be programmed since it is a prototype. However,

the owner should have data to view the location of the bag in Google maps.
