Abstract

Shopping malls more than often have throngs of visitors especially during the weekends or holidays no matter the workday or the weekend. Indeed, shopping malls is a family-friendly spot. Since it consists of grocery and department stores, restaurants, and entertainment facilities. It is a great place to spend time with the family while carrying out necessary errands. Nonetheless, with all the excitement and bustling environment, children are at risk of losing their parents and vice versa. This project describes of a method to locate the whereabouts of children in an enclosed or indoor setting. The project utilizes RFID technology which maps the location of the child as soon as they enter the complex. The project includes both hardware and software. RFID tags are worn by the child and RFID readers are placed at each entry to a shop, elevator, washroom, etc. Every time the reader detects the RFID, a signal is sent to a GSM module to map out the whereabouts of the child. If a child is reported missing, the mapping will show the locations of where the child had been and including the last location the tag was detected. This way, the process of finding the missing child is almost straightforward. By knowing where the child was, only relevant CCTVs recordings need to be checked which saves a lot of time in finding the missing child.
