Title Name:
IoT-Based Real-Time Child Safety and GPS Tracking System
Description:
This project is designed to monitor and safeguard children’s journeys between school and home
using small, wearable GPS tracking devices integrated with GSM or Wi-Fi connectivity and a cloud-
based platform. The device regularly transmits the child’s precise location to a secure server, allowing
parents (or guardians) to view live tracking on a web or mobile application. The system features
geofence alerts to notify parents if a child leaves designated safe zones (like home, school, or bus
route), SOS emergency alerts, tamper detection, and location history review. The project’s aim is to
enhance child security, reduce risks of missing or kidnapping, and foster peace of mind for families.
Components:
Wearable GPS Device: Watch, bracelet, or tag for the child.
Microcontroller: ESP32/Arduino Uno/Nano for data processing.
GPS Module: (e.g., Neo-6M) for real-time coordinates.
Communication Module: GSM (SIM800/SIM900) for cellular or ESP8266/ESP32 for Wi-Fi.
Backend Server: Cloud-based, handles location storage and API endpoints.
Database: Stores users, device location records, and alert logs.
Mobile/Web Appication: User interface for parents to monitor and manage tracking.
Notification System: Delivers alerts (SMS, push notifications) for emergencies or geofence
breaches.
Additional Sensors (optional): SOS button, tamper sensor, temperature sensor, buzzer, LED
indicator.
Main Aim of This Project:
To provide parents and guardians with a secure, easy-to-use system for real-time monitoring of
their child's location, sending instant alerts in case of unusual movements, emergencies, or
boundary breaches—thus enhancing child safety during commutes and daily activities and
contributing to preventive measures against child missing and kidnapping incidents.
