 ABSTRACT

Nowadays women are facing many security problems in the society. In such cases, they
feel handicap and need help to protect them. Even though many technologies have been
introduced for women still kidnapping, eve teasing and sexual harassment are taking place in
our country. When the women face into unsecured situations, to ensure the safety, automatic
detection system needs to establish which send an alert message which includes the location of
the police department. This can be done by sensing various factors such as abnormal sounds,
body reaction like trembling, dreading and heartbeat which can be sensed using sensor and to
provide the alert message. A swarm of IoT (Internet of Things) software applications is
available which are programmed for helping the women in unfavorable circumstances by
sending alert messages to the registered contacts. Similarly, there are smart hardware gadgets
accessible which comprises of sensors and microcontrollers that can sense the unsafe
situation. These gadgets can produce screaming alarm or produce electric shocks to the
assailant.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Women safety has become a prominent issue all over the world. In India only, the
crime rate against women has increased rapidly in last few years. According to NCRB
(National Crime Records bureau) report published in October 2017, 55.2 percent crime
rate against women was reported. Out of which most of the crimes against women are of
rape cases which are most severe and brutal. In today’s technical world, many gadgets
and applications are being developed in this direction. Specifically, IoT has played an
important role to secure the women with its advanced devices and applications. The term
“Internet of Things” (IoT – Internet of Things) also known as web of things refers to all
those objects or devices of everyday life that are connected to the Internet and that have
some kind of intelligence with which data can be exchanged among various devices.

Nowadays, there are many software applications and smart gadgets adopted to
restrain the crimes against women with the help of smart phones or with wearable devices.
Many applications send custom message to emergency numbers to trace the current
location of victim. Alternatively, numerous IoT devices use sensors to optimize body
parameters that can directly send alarming message to guardians or women helpline.
Although, there exists code like *91# in India that can be used to provide emergency
services but there may be a situation where the girl is not capable of dialing the code. In
that case, wearable gadgets are proven to be efficient. Moreover, there are some android
applications that can help the women in need by sending risk notice to enlisted contacts.
Similar applications are developed that use microcontrollers such as Raspberry-Pi that
capture the images of the location and send notifications to registered mobile numbers
that has been proven to be helpful for women.

In addition, many hardware gadgets have been designed which uses GPS (Global
Positioning System) to detect the location of the device. This device can be used by girls
to send alert messages to their relatives or to the police station. These devices also use
sensors for continuously monitoring variables like body temperature, anxietyand send the
data to the parents which ensure wellbeing of their kith and kin in the situation of need.

CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM DESIGN

The device can be activated by just pressing the emergency button for the alert
purpose. The method which works behind this is as explained below: This smart device
(based on IoT) shown in Fig 2.1, which includes a GPS modem, is activated by retrieving
its location based on its longitude and latitude, is fed to the raspberry pi 0, which
retrieves the location details of the device from GSM and it triggers in the form of a text
message. The wristband as shown in Fig 2.2, along with the text message, also sends a
signal which led to a “miscall “to the predefined numbers via a chip embedded in the
wearable device of the women and send the instant location of the device with a message
“Save Me, I'm in Danger", through GSM.

SMART BAND

The idea is to provide a swift responding and reporting safety device for women.
The application helps women to overcome with fear and can call to her guardian that she
can take the help. It reports a situation just by pressing button on the smart band. It
resembles a smart band; it has the capability to protect the women, with the various
sensors integrated within the band. When she wearing the band or a watch, if she faces
any kind of harassment or if she feels something happened to be endangered, she can
press the button located on the watch, when she falls in down, the various information
such as location, body posture, pulse rate and SMS alert are sent to the predefined
number by using the GSM through Raspberry Pi. The exact location of the victim by
using the GPS it sends the longitude and latitude of the victim so that, police can easily
find the victim and the incident can be easily avoided and can save the women, punish
the culprit. Using the IoT platform one we can track the information of the women
remotely. This will help to reduce the crime against the women.
