1. ABSTRACT

In worldwide situation, the prime inquiry in each woman mind is about her safety
and the badgering issues. Women everywhere throughout the world are confronting much
deceptive physical provocation. The main idea frequenting each woman is the point at
which they will have the capacity to move uninhibitedly in the city even in oddhours
without stressing over their security. Our task is a dare to determine this issue. This paper
describes about a smart intelligent security system for women. This venture concentrates on
a security for women so they will never feel vulnerable.

The system comprises of different modules, such as GPS, memory card, stun circuit,
buzzer/hooter, sprinkler, Webcam, pulse rate sensor, Raspberry Pi-3 module. Today there
are many cases which are going on about ladies. It was high time where we women required
a change. This task depends on women security where women feel ensured. This venture
portrays about safety electronic system for women, worked out in the open transport
vehicles such as, car, buses and auto-rickshaws as these days women are being at molested,
kidnapped and badgering by the drivers. In each field there is an uncommon effect of
women like games, dance, training, business, in legislative issues moreover. Women are
driving in each field. The question arises that, Are the women in India are extremely
secured? Always we get the answer No.. Henceforth executed electronic women security
system which has GPS, pulse ratesensor, Camera, Shock circuit, Buzzer, sprinkler, memory

2. INTRODUCTION

Today in the current worldwide situation, the prime inquiry in each women mind,
considering the regularly rising increment of issues on women provocation in later past is
for the most part about her well being and security. The main idea frequenting each woman
is the point at which they will have the capacity to move uninhibitedly in the city even in
odd hours without stressing over their security. This task recommends another view point to
utilize innovation for women safety. This undertaking depends on women security where
women feel ensured. This venture portrays about security electronic system for women,
worked out in the open transport vehicles, for example, autos, transports and auto
rickshawsas these days ladies are being attacked, kidnapped and harassed by the drivers.

As we cannot estimate the happening of incidents but still one can reduce the chances of
sexual abuse, violence, assault by having all safety tools nearby and can easily vanish from
the danger situations. This can make aprotected domain and furthermore makes a decent
help for the casualties. Long range informal communication is an integral part of our lives,
any awful occurrences can be insinuated in the blink of an eye to their companions,
relatives,control room and so on to get the assistance. We propose a thought which changes
the way everybody considers women security. We need the need for a device which
automatically senses and rescues the victim is the venture of ouridea. In present day India,
women have adorned high workplaces in India including that of the President,
PrimeMinister, Leader of the Opposition and Speaker of the LokSabha. Be that as it may,
ladies in India keep on facing social difficulties and are often victims of abuse and violent
crimes and, as indicated by a worldwide survey directed by Thomson Reuters, India is the
fourth most unsafe nation on the planet for ladies, and the most exceedingly bad nation for
ladies among the G20 nations. Women are driving in each field. Are the young women in
India are extremely secured? Continuously we find the solution No. Consequently,
actualized electronic system which has GPS, pulse rate sensor, Camera, Shock circuit,
Buzzer/hooter, memory card which are interfaced with Raspberry pi- 3 board to control the
majority of the above.

The device is the integration of multiple devices, hardware which continuously

communicates with Smartphone that has access to the internet. The application is

2
programmed and loaded with all the required data. This generates a signal which is
transmitted to the smart phone. The software or application has access to GPS and
Messaging services which is pre-programmed in such a way that whenever it receives
emergency signal, it can send help request along with the location co-ordinates to the
nearest Police station, relatives and the people in the near radius who have application. This
action enables help instantaneously from the Police as well as Public in the near radius who
can reach the victim with great accuracy.

The project also integrates voice recognition system to detect the keywords like ‘help’ ,
‘help me’, ‘danger’ and matches it with the database during dangerous situations. It
provides self-defense and SMS alert when a girl is in danger. The Rapsberry Pi module will
analyze the situation alerts the guardian and nearby authorities. The Electric Shock
generator module generates shock which helps in providing self-defense.

3. PROBLEM STATEMENT

In the latest horrific incidents in Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka
we have shocked the nation and warned us about women's safety and security. In regards to
issues, people have different means of protection. Finally, tools should be introduced to
ensure women's protection with different technologies.
 The problem is that overall cost of continuously sending data for tracking System
is very high because of the cost of packet size transmitted.
 In our Country, even though it has super power and an economic development,
but still there are many crimes against women.
 The atrocities against the women can be brought to an end with the help of
proposed project. This device is a security system, specially designed for women
in distress.

4. EXISTING SYSTEM

 Self-defense device with GSM alert and GPS tracking with fingerprint verification for
women safety – Date of Conference : 12-14 June 2019, by Shaista Khanam,
Department of Electronics and Telecommunication, University of Mumbai, India. This
system used the fingerprint module for activation of decice, electric shock producing
circuit, GSM/GPS module for alerting and location tracking all interfaced with a
microcontroller to design a small baton shaped device which will be handy and easily
portable. The objective of the device is to provide women with a tool that can provide
them security and ensure their safety in case of any mishap. The paper proposes a better
approach which makes use of a high voltage current producing circuit which will be
used to stun the opposition for few seconds. Disadvantage of it is the measuring device
fixed in objects, if the person away from the object it can’t be predicted.

 Pro-Techt Implementation of an IOT based 3-way women safety device [2019] –This
system used a prototype which consists of GSM and GPS module which is activated by
voice command through an android application. When the user will say words
“emergency” in this mobile applications the device will send SMS alert containing the
location of the user and auto dial the pre-set emergency contact number. A microphone
and speaker are connected with the GSM module through which the user can hear and
speak with the contacted person. For self-defense the device produces the shock to the
attacker through a nerve stimulatorand rings a buzzer pressing a button. It allows to
record evidence via video camera. Disadvantage of it is in panic mode, if she does not
press the buzzer, then location cannot be identified.

 Foot Device for Women Security [2018] – It is smart device which ensures the
protection of women. This device will be clipped to the footwear of a woman and can
be triggered discretly on tapping her feet 10 or more times within 5 seconds.
Simultaneously audio recording feature in the application will record the incident that
can be used later as a proof if required. At the same time, a buzzer gets sounded which
would make the surroundings alert and can she can get immediate help. For her self-
defense there is a knife attached to this device. Along with this unnatural rise or fall of
her heartbeat will also be sensed and the values of the same will be displayed.

4
 SMARISA: A Raspberry-Pi based Smart Ring for women safety using IOT [2019] –
This system is implemented in the form of smart ring and comprises of Raspberry-Pi
Zero, camera, buzzer and button to activate the services. This device is extremely
portable and can be activated by the victim on being assaulted just by the click of a
button that will fetch her current location and also capture the image of the attacker via
Raspberry Pi camera. The location and the link of the image capturec will be sent to
predefined emergency contact numbers or police via smart phone of the victim thus
preventing the use of additional hardware devices/modules and making the device
compact. The streets, public transport, public places in particular have become the
dominion of the hunters. Due to these atrocities that women are subjected to in the
present scenario, a smart security wearable device for women based on Internet of
Things is proposed. Disadvantages are cost is high and security is less.

 As the shock is generated the AVR microcontroller sends signal towards GPS and
GSM. It is a portable device and provides self-defense. If a girl fails to press the push
button or becomes unconscious its not worth for safety. An advanced artificial
intelligence, security system. Auto receiving call module. It uses audio and video
recording module. To press the SOS key, mobile must be in reach at emergency.

 VithU App, in this alert messages are sent to the contact list to the physical location but
it is not practically feasible to click power button twice consecutively.

 Nirbhaya App, sends SMS alert or call in a single touch. It updates every 300 meters.
False alarm is produced when power button is pressed.

 My Safety pin, It updates user with the occurred threats in the locality. It doesn’t send
any alert messages.

5. PROPOSED SYSTEM

Today girls were not allowed to move freely even inthe streets without worrying
about their security Parents were worrying about their security which has become the first
barrier to send their daughters for job. Day by day the women harassment increases. Under
the lots of circumstance that has been, a lot ofwork has been done to relate to the security. It

5
is necessary for us to learn about Related/Existing system to see what aspects we can
improve on. Nowadays though there are many apps evolved for women safety via smart
phone it is activated only by a touch or one click or shake. Alert messages are sent out to
the listed contacts, who receive your message along with your physical location. This
concept is used to provide security to women when they are exposed to external challenges
and harassments in the society.

A app which is named as “VithU-app” works Withonly 2 clicks of the power button,
anybody facing danger can send out an SOS message to their guardian.. The disadvantage
of above concept is We have to click the power button for two times consecutively. It is not
possible at all the situation.

An Android Application for Women Safety Based on “VoiceRecognition”. One in which,

keywords of different languages are set for activation of the system. System recognizes the
voice and frequency of voice of the user. After system gets activate, it uses a GPS or WI-FI
to track the location information of the user and send that location information as a message
via SMS and post it on Social Application. Simultaneously, an emergency signal is sent to
people who are selected by the mobile user. There is no need to handle mobile to activate
the system and it will get activated even if mobile keypad is locked. In this age of
technology, mobile phone is one of the gadgets that almost everyone like and uses to keep
in touch with family and friends. All they need is a device that canbe carried everywhere
easily. This ‘Design and Development of Women Self Defense Smart Watch Prototype’
proposed paper deals with a quick responding, cost protection system for an individual and
especially for women using which a woman in an guish can call for help just with the press
of a button on this smart gadget.
Self- Defense module for women safety is like a Smart Watch for Women safety. It has the
ability to helpwomen with technologies that are embedded into a compact device. It has the
potential to help women with technologies that are embedded. It is specially designed for
women safety and protection. It has a control button that will be used by women to inform
nearby police when they are in distress. This watch directly gets connected to the satellite
through GPS when activated. Then the location is transferred through the GSM, it also
contains a shock mechanism to produce non-lethal electric shock in emergency situations to
deter the attacker.

‘SMART INTELLIGENT SECURITY SYSTEM FOR WOMEN’ - This project describes
about a smart intelligent security system for women. This acquires a fast pace due to lack of
asuitable surveillance system. This project is a venture to resolve this problem by using two
objects wrist bandand spectacles that are used in day to day life. The system resembles a
band on the wrist incorporated with pressure switch as an input which when activates shows
the result Screaming alarm and tear gas mechanism are imposed for self defensing purpose
and send location and messages to the emergency contacts and also figured out the attacker
using live streaming video. Tear gas mechanism and live streaming video using webcam is
incorporated in the spectacles that act as a weapon of the smart technology disadvantage is
using objects which is cost effective and physically dependent.

6. METHODOLOGY

The IoT based system consist of the main part is Raspberry pi module gets the signs
from GPS system which has introduce area data and after that the Raspberry pi controller
permits to send the Alert Message with the location of the women to the saved predefined
numbers. At the time of dangerous situation, we know that everyone’s pulse rate get high,
hence we are using a pulse rate sensor that will sense the heart rate and send through
message with the location.

A camera utilized for the capturing picture of an attacker and outside memory car is utilized
for the capturing picture issave on this card and send to the receiver so that police can catch
an attacker and punish him. At the same time when she presses a button, automatically the
auto defender system will start working. Auto defender system is consisting ofthe buzzer
which will make sound so that someone in the surrounding can listen and help her, second
is shock mechanism which will stun the attacker, third is the sprinkler that will sprinkler the
harmful, etching solvent like pepper powder which will harm an attacker and still she gets
help. Thus the women can self defence her.

Electric shock generator that acts like a self defense to protect herself on the spot. Different
types of sensors such as light and pressure sensors that work on the defined logic and a
voice recognizes the women’s voice are implemented in this system. The system also sends
a message to the guardian or the police station. This message includes the latitude and
longitude of the person at the time of attack.

When user shouts keywords in database, the data will be sent as an input to the first web
server. If the keyword matches the database, then all the modules in the kit will be enabled.
The data from these modules will be sent as a response to the second web server. From the
web server, it will be sent to the guardian. The web server acts as an intermediate phase
between user and the guardian. The image of the surrounding and the latitude and longitude
will be sent as a notification to guardian. In this way the device will be useful for women
when in danger.

8
One of the initiative in this project is an implementation of the electric shock upto 12 volts.
This gets activated when the keywords are matched with database and by using button and
also by pressure, pulse rate sensors with the other modules which act as a self-defense
mechanism during the attack.

7. OBJECTIVES

1. To provide safe options and services for women and their children affected by domestic
and family violence.

2. To use knowledge, evidence and innovation to enhance services to women and their
children.

3. To engage and retain quality staff.

4. To develop partnerships that contribute towards the elimination of domestic and family
violence.

5. To improve the capacity of the community and community services sector to respond to

women.

8. POSSIBLE OUTCOMES

 Women Tracking, As soon as the device gets activated when voice is recognized or by
sensors, through button when women is in danger. Automatically device traces location
GPS and GSM and sends to the police station and guardian so that women tracking is
easily done and helpful to protect women from that danger.

9
 Face capturing, When device gets activated, through Raspberry-Pi camera it captures
the opposite person and sends to the police and guardian through SMS alert so it will be
very helpful to police to know the criminal and to take action.

 Send face to the mail, The captured face of the person will also be shared through an
email and also through SMS alert with location of the women.

 Send sms, Device sends alert message to the police station and guardian that this
women is in danger with location and also the picture of the criminal.

9. RELEVANCE OF PROPOSED PROJECT

 SOCIETAL : We probably living in the worst time our modern society has ever seen in
terms of women safety. Women everywhere throughout the world are confronting much
deceptive physical provocation. The main idea frequenting each woman is the point at
which they will have the capacity to move uninhibitedly in the city even in oddhours
without stressing over their security. Our task is a dare to determine this issue.

 SECURITY, Today in the current worldwide situation, the prime inquiry in each
women mind, considering the regularly rising increment of issues on women
provocation in later past is for the most part about her well being and security. The main
idea frequenting each woman is the point at which they will have the capacity to move
uninhibitedly in the city even in odd hours without stressing over their security. This
