Development of a Call Location Tracking System Tailored for Enhancing the Efficiency of Police Responses to Distress Signals

Abstract

This project focused on the design, development, and testing of a wrist distress call device aimed at providing reliable emergency communication through Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technologies. The system was meticulously assembled, integrating a Neo-6M GPS Module, Arduino Pro Mini, SIM800L GSM Module, and a capacitive touch sensor, all within a compact, ergonomic wrist device designed for ease of use. The device was engineered to capture precise GPS coordinates and transmit them via SMS to predefined contacts upon activation in distress situations. During the testing phase, the device consistently demonstrated its capability to deliver accurate location data, significantly enhancing the speed and accuracy of emergency responses. The project demonstrated that the wrist distress call device is not only effective in emergency communication but also practical for everyday wear, seamlessly integrating into the user's daily routine. The successful development of this device underscores its potential as a vital tool for emergency preparedness, offering a user-friendly solution that ensures prompt assistance during critical situations. The intuitive activation mechanism, combined with the device's compact design, proved to be a practical and reliable tool for safeguarding individuals, thereby reinforcing its role as an essential asset in emergency scenarios. The project has laid a solid foundation for further innovations in wearable emergency communication technology, highlighting the device's impact on improving safety and response times in critical situations.
