Arduino Based Child Tracking System Using GPS and GSM SCHOOL

This document describes a child tracking system using an Arduino Uno, GPS module, and GSM modem. The system allows parents to track a lost child by sending a "TRACK" message to a device placed in the child's bag. This device uses the GPS module to get the child's location coordinates, sends them via the GSM modem, and copies the coordinates to Google Maps so parents can see the child's location. The system is designed to give parents assurance that their child is safe and allow them to easily locate a lost child.

Arduino Based Child Tracking System Using GPS and GSM

Abstract- Now a days the chance of missing childrens are going in rampant. So in order to reduce this
problem, we are presenting a paper on Child Tracking System Using Arduino Uno and Google Map. This
system is used for tracking the information of the lost child using Google Map along with the position and
location of that child through GPS. This process operate simply by keeping the “tracking system device”
into the bag of that particular child, who is going to school or outside world and now if in case that child
is lost or missed then the parents of that particular child can simply track him/her by sending a message
name “TRACK” to the particular operating device which has been kept inside that child bag. In this way
the parents get the real time location by receiving the exact position of the child along with the longitude
and latitude of that place then it will be copied into the Google map and the location of that lost child can
easily be accessed .
Introduction
Now a day’s child tracking system is widely used all over in the word and it gives the assurance to the
parents that their child is safe from suspicious action. In this paper we will show the system requirement
for tracking the child and describe the implementation feature. To implement such system a GPS with
high accuracy is required, if the low accuracy GPS is used in this system,. System may give some error of
that child location . In this system we send the message name TRACK to the device and the GPS of that
device send the longitude and latitude to the GSM module , GSM module receive the information about
longitude and latitude of that child location , further this message will be send to the user for tracking the
location of that lost child. The Ardunio is a small micro controller which is used for controlling whole
process in this system .This paper provides the concept for developing a low cost , high accuracy and user
friendly system by using Google map . Google map can improve the accuracy of GPS. This paper
presents research that applies Google map to describe the Child Tracking System. Improvements are
proved by Google map that make high accuracy .

 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

 ARDUINO UNO:
 Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on 8-bit ATmega328P
microcontroller. Along with ATmega328P, it consists other components such as
crystal oscillator, serial communication, voltage regulator, etc. to support the
microcontroller. Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins (out of which 6 can
be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog input pins, a USB connection, A Power barrel
jack, an ICSP header and a reset button.


 The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. If supplied with less
than 7V, however, the 5V pin may supply less than five volts and the board may
be unstable. If using more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and
damage the board. The recommended range is 7 to 12 volts.
 GPS:

 GPS receivers are generally used in smartphones, fleet management system,


military etc. for tracking or finding location.Global Positioning System (GPS) is a
satellite-based system that uses satellites and ground stations to measure and
compute its position on Earth.GPS is also known as Navigation System with Time
and Ranging (NAVSTAR) GPS.GPS receiver needs to receive data from at least 4
satellites for accuracy purpose. GPS receiver does not transmit any information to
the satellites.This GPS receiver is used in many applications like smartphones,
Cabs, Fleet management etc.



 GSM MODULE:

 Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) is digital cellular system used
for mobile devices. It is an international standard for mobile which is widely used
for long distance communication.There are various GSM modules available in
market like SIM900, SIM700, SIM800, SIM808, SIM5320 etc.SIM900A module
allows users to send/receive data over GPRS, send/receive SMS and make/receive
voice calls.The GSM/GPRS module uses USART communication to
communicate with microcontroller or PC terminal. AT commands are used to
configure the module in different modes and to perform various functions like
calling, posting data to a site, etc.
