Abstract

Nowadays, many parents who lost their children while in shopping centers, at home and in places of the people crowded. According to statistics, more than 70 percent of children who disappeared in Malaysia. It is important to ensure children's safety is assured and monitored. Thus, the device tracking system is one of the most important applications in this era to prevent the loss of children are increasing every day. Moreover, the main purpose of this project is to emphasize how to develop tracking system devices. Then, the project also focuses on the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology device tracking system uses an Arduino board via Smartphone. By using this system, parents can track the location of their children at any time. This system can provide minute-by-minute updates on the location of the device if the child is out of range from a safe distance by sending a Short Messaging Service (SMS). In this application, it consists of the integration between a GPS receiver, Arduino microcontroller and GSM module. GPS is used to pinpoint the exact location (latitude and longitude) and track the children in the geographical area. Then, the position information will be sent to a Smartphone via a GSM modem. GSM modem is programmed to allow the communication between the modem and the device to determine the current position of the device. After that, the system can reflect the received data into Google Maps. Moreover, this project can be divided into two major parts, the first part, GPS, Bluetooth and Arduino microcontroller pairs. The second part, Arduino micro GPS- and GSM integration.
