Social Needs
Why do we need Child Tracking Systems?
Rising concerns over child safety due to increased
urbanization.
Kidnapping, abduction, and lost children incidents have
escalated.
Parents/guardians require peace of mind and real-time
information about their child's whereabouts.
Useful for schools, public transport systems, and parents
Methodology
GPS-enabled Wearable Device: A device like a smartwatch or
smartphone with GPS tracks the child’s real-time location.
Location Data Transmission: The device sends location data to the
cloud via cellular networks (GSM, LTE) or Wi-Fi.
Real-Time Monitoring: Parents or guardians access the data
through a smartphone app that displays the child’s current location
on a map.
Geofencing & Alerts: Virtual boundaries (geofences) can be set,
triggering alerts when the child enters or exits predefined safe zones,
ensuring safety.

Architecture
GPS Module: Captures real-time location data from satellites.
Child’s Device: Sends location and alerts via GSM/4G/5G or Wi-
Fi.
Cloud Server: Stores and processes data, managing geofencing and
alerts.
Parent’s Smartphone: Receives real-time location updates and
alerts via a mobile app.
Communication: Secure, encrypted data transmission between
devices and server.

Algorithms Used
1. GPS Tracking Algorithm :
Kalman Filter: For smoothing out GPS noise and providing accurate
position estimates.
Dead Reckoning: Used in situations where GPS signals are weak
(indoors or tunnels), it estimates the child's position based on
previously known locations.
2. Machine Learning Algorithms:
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN): For detecting abnormal location
patterns.
Neural Networks: For more advanced behavior and risk prediction
based on large datasets.
Algorithms Used
3. Routing Algorithms:
A (A-star) Algorithm*: Used to find the shortest path from the
current location to a destination (e.g., from school to home).
Dijkstra's Algorithm: Can also be used for shortest-path calculations.
4. Data Compression Algorithms:
Huffman Coding or Run-Length Encoding (RLE): Reduces the size
of the data sent, conserving bandwidth and battery life.
5. Geofencing Algorithm:
Point-in-Polygon (PIP) algorithm: Checks if the child's GPS
coordinates are inside a geofenced area.
