 Sea Border Geofencing for
Fishermen
Abstract
•Geofencing has found many applications and various technologies have been
develop for implementing it.
•One important application of Geofencing is to create border alert system for fisher
man, here we use GPS based Geofencing to alert fishermen and given them voice
alerts in different languages so that they can save themselves from getting caught by
foreign country coast guards and charged under the Foreigners Act for trespass.
•Multilevel alert can be given at various levels of closes to actual border.
 INTRODUCTION

•The Tamil Nadu fishermen even today invoke the historical rights and
routinely stay into the International Maritime Boundary Line (IMBL) for
fishing.

•From Tamil Nadu about 18,000 boats of different kinds conduct fishing along
the India-Sri Lanka maritime border.

•But by accidentally crossing the border without knowledge, they get shot by
the Lankan navy.

•This leads to loss in the both humans as well as their economic incomes. We
have developed a system which eliminates such problems and saves the
lives of the fishermen

 PROBLEM STATEMENT

• Fishermen wander in foreign seas and get

caught, to avoid such problem a device has
to be developed which can warn them when
they are near border.
1.
LITERATURE SURVEY
Alert System for Fishermen Crossing Border using Android(International Conference - 2016)

The application can be widely used by people in the border to find the appropriate path to reach the
destination. The application will notify the information of where the devices are being located and
intimate them about the issues that occur due to opponent forces in ships to server. This can act as an
incident management application to avoid conflicts at varying situations.

2. Location Based Services using Android(2009 IEEE)

From the available GIS processing tools in Android we can realize all three types of LBS services as a
mobile can be configured as a server and for that we can also use the SQLite database to store information
as android also supports this technology. We can configure the two mobiles to provide peer-peer LBS
services through SMS or MMS with the use of appropriate intents.

 EXPECTED RESULT

• Alerts provide to fishermen in form of voice message and lat long of

current location with time to be displayed on LCD using GPS data.

•Border alert system for fishermen is used to detect the boundary

location and warn the fishermen in danger situations. It not only
finds the GPS value, but also compares with the stored value in
the micro controller, and makes a decision as to whether the
fishermen is in the warning range or not.
 APPLICATIONS

• We can use this device also as bomb detector

• Location of any lost vehicle could be found
• Geofencing
• Border alert system
• Territory marking
• Virtual fencing
• Work Area defining
 ADVANTAGES & LIMITATIONS

• Advantages
1. Accuracy determination of location
2. Maintenance cost is low
3. Easily replaceable with traditional method of verification.

•Benefits
1. The hijack of the ship by the pirates can be eradicated.
2. The lost ship wrecks due to natural calamities can be identified
3. By keeping the kits in the entire boats and by knowing the locations of all the boats

we can use our kit to assist the traffic.

4. Incase of any accident on the sea. it can be detected by the system and the accident

location of the boat is sent to the rescue team.

•Future Scope
We can use the EEPROM to store the previous Navigating Positions up to 256 locations. We can navigate up ton number of locations by
increasing the memory of EEPROM.

We can reduce the size of the kit by using GPS+GSM on the same module of GPS navigator.

We can increase the accuracy up to 3m by increasing the cost of the GPS receivers.
