The main objective of our project is to provide security for human beings especially woman and children with a help of an advanced electronics. As most of the women are subjected to unethical physical harassment when they are alone in public areas, in case they will be provided with an equipment fitted inside the shoes which is not visible to others, the equipment consists of GPS (Global Positioning System) and GSM module by which the geographical location can be tracked and can be sent. In the case of any emergency conditions, the button is pressed and the microcontroller sends latitude and longitude information to authorized persons through GSM. Then the location information is tracked and the information can be sent to police and family members so that they can be rescued in proper time. At the same time, they will be provided a high voltage generating device embedded within the system can be used to generate electric shock to temporarily paralyse the criminals in critical situations. The device is portable and hence can be taken anywhere we travel. It is economical and simple to use. So, it can be effective in saving many people (not merely women) from criminal attacks, sexual harassments and can be used as legal evidence of crime.

The thought of developing this project came from social responsibility towards the society. As we can see many accidents occurring around us in our day-to-day life. Usually people die due to lack of treatment in proper time. The reasons for this may be many such as late arrival of ambulance, no person at place of accident to give information to the ambulance. Therefore, this paper came up with idea of giving the information about accident as soon as possible and in time. Thus, the death rate due to bike accident can be minimized. Here the vibration sensors in the helmet that are connected to Arduino board that delivers an input when the rider crashes. Based upon the sensor value, the Arduino extract GPS (Global Positioning System) data and then GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) module automatically sends message to ambulance, police and family members with GPS location. Then the accidents caused due to over fall of light at nighttime can also be avoided here by helmet equipped with the feature, automatic change of night mode visor. In addition, the android mobile communication can be done via Bluetooth module in the helmet

The Relationship

BACKGROUND Global seasonal influenza-associated respiratory excess mortality rates have been estimated at 4-8.8 per 100,000 individuals, and this is one of the major issues in public health. Designing efficient containment strategies for highly contagious diseases like influenza has been a subject of very considerable interest recently. Infectious disease epidemic tracking and forecasting have recently been attempted using data based on mobile phone global positioning system (GPS) location information. Tracking and forecasting local influenza spread may contribute to the control of influenza epidemics in an early stage. OBJECTIVE The objectives of this research were to analyze population flow using GPS location data based on the methods proposed by Iwata and Shimizu (2019), and to evaluate influenza infection pathways by determining the relationship between population flow and the number of drugs sold at pharmacies. METHODS Methods proposed by Iwata and Shimizu were applied for all 25 cells to estimate population flow. They proposed a neural collective graphical model (NCGM), which uses a neural network to incorporate the spatiotemporal dependency issue and reduce the estimated parameter. RESULTS The prescription peaks in cells 12 and 14, which had high population flows with cell 13, showed a high correlation with a delay of one to two days. The incubation period is one to four days (average two days) in seasonal influenza. One feature around cell 6 is the low number of prescriptions for anti-influenza drugs. The influenza infection may not have spread to cell 6 due to the low population flow from cells 12 and 13 with high prescriptions. Another feature is the observation of transmission of infection by a small number of influenza patients. In cells 5 and 6 where high population flows were suspected, there was a high cross-correlation value of prescription numbers with a seven-day time-lag. The time-lag is longer than the time-lag observed around cell 13 above. It was observed that not much population flows from cell 19 to the outside area on weekdays. This observation may have been due to geographical features and undeveloped transportation networks. The number of prescriptions for anti-influenza drugs in cell 19 remained low during the observation period. CONCLUSIONS This study conducted population flow estimation analyses during commuting times, based on region-specific GPS location data in four Prefectures in the Kansai region of Japan using methods proposed by Iwata and Shimizu. Furthermore, detailed comparative analyses of the relationship between estimated results of population flow and anti-influenza drug prescription data from pharmacies were conducted. It was found that influenza did not spread to areas with undeveloped traffic networks, and the peak number of drug prescriptions arrived with a time lag of several days in areas with a high amount of area-to-area movement due to commuting.

Marine mines are one of the supporters in securing the marine region of NKRI. In relation to marine mines, the Navy has mapped mines to the territorial waters. The importance of mine site mapping information aims to prevent landmines from being a feeding weapon for the NAVY's Alutsista. In realizing a mine-site mapping and location system that can provide geo-location information for mines using Arduino devices. Build your exercise Smart mine positioning using Global Positioning System (GPS) Neo-M6. A study in providing latitude and longitude location information is packaged using a GPS module that is connected to the Arduino processing device to obtain the location coordinates of the latitude and longitude mines. Test results of GPS-based location tracking devices are obtained by the results of location data in latitude and longitude formats. Smart Mine location identification, can be applied using GPS based on the results of the design and creation of the system that has been done. Location displacement speed calculations can be obtained by calculating the starting location with the updated location in a time span and converting to a unit of distance. Based on the results of the speed test can be obtained even if the device's location position is unchanged, this is due to the GPS data always changing due to the level of position accuracy obtained from satellites. The use of the Neo-M6 GPS can be applied to the latitude and longitude location identification systems acquired a relatively small error value with an average satellite number obtained by as much as 8 satellites. The use of the Neo-M6 GPS, to get GPS data from satellites is a long time, the problem of GPS gets satellite data due to the less supportive weather conditions.

In Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), research on localization is very common. Localization is a process of achieving the location information using nodes which already have location information. WSN's generally have limited nodes with given location information or a capability of getting their locations using Global Positioning System (GPS). Therefore, it is important that wireless nodes have capability to localize. In this work the authors use Time of Flight (TOF) ranging technique to measure distances between nodes. These distance measurements are then used by trilateration/multi-lateration techniques which require distance measurements between three or more nodes to estimate location. Focus is to a find a trade-off between energy consumption and the location accuracy. For experiments we use SIDnet-SWANS simulator to two different WSN topologies. Experimental results show that accuracy achieved is relatively better without significantly draining the batteries. The results show the trade-off between accuracy and energy, which can be efficiently used by different applications.

O posicionamento e a instalação de unidades amostrais em trabalhos de Inventário Florestal exigem critérios (métodos e processos), que podem ser facilitados com o uso de recursos tecnológicos, saindo de uma esfera teórica para a prática. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho tem como finalidade apresentar um exemplo concreto de aplicação do Sistema de Posicionamento Global (GPS) para fornecer a posição geográfica (latitude e longitude) e a altitude do terreno em relação ao nível médio dos mares de parcelas amostrais em um inventário florestal. O processo de amostragem para o Inventário Florestal foi à amostragem sistemática em dois estágios. Concluiu-se que a utilização do GPS, como ferramenta de localização, navegação e apoio ao inventário florestal, proporcionou melhor rendimento, bem como uma economia de tempo e recursos na execução da atividade. GPS: A Helpful Tool in Forest Inventory Abstract Positioning and establishing sample plots in forest inventories are tasks which require the definition of some criteria (methods and processes). This may be facilitated by using some technological devices that make the survey a very practical task. In this connection, this work aimed at presenting a clear example of application of Global Positioning System (GPS) used to give the geographical location (latitude and longitude) as well as the altitude of the land in relation to the medium level the seas of forest inventory sample plots. The sampling scheme used in the inventory was the double stage systematic process. It was noticed that GPS utilization, of location, sailing and as a tool to support forest inventory plot establishment, provides better efficiency in field work as well as improved time and resources use.

Recent years have seen an increase in the use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) by both private and public entities for the purpose of tracking and monitoring the location of human beings. The GPS tracking application is used as a locating system to monitor, among other people, children, the elderly who suffer from Alzheimer's, and the mentally ill, for personal protection purposes. This electronic monitoring system has also found application on parolees as a law enforcement measure. In trying to track down a tangible solution to prevent and mitigate brutal attacks on persons with albinism in South Africa, this article proposes the extension of the application of the use of the Global Positioning Tracking System to persons with albinism as a strategy to halt the continued attacks against this population. Although Malawi has pioneered the use of the GPS in the context of fighting violent crimes against persons with albinism, what is unsettling to the author is the fact that no debates have taken place on the ethical and legal concerns arising from electronically tagging and tracking people with albinism; especially in view of the fact that persons with albinism are already a vulnerable and stigmatised population. Could it be that ethical issues and human rights are to be ignored when it is affirmed that technology serves the common good of protecting persons with albinism? My emphasis here is on the need for a debate on what could otherwise be a controversial application of technology. Although the purpose of the GPS is undeniably worthy, sometimes the way these devices are used can be more problematic. More challenging is the desire to justify the encroachment of any rights, as arises through using this crime prevention strategy. The use of the electronic monitoring system to tag and track persons with albinism raises crucial human rights and ethical concerns, particularly relating to the right to privacy, liberty, perhaps equality, and notably, the right to dignity. There is a need to be conscious of the possibility of the misuse of the technology and precautionary measures must be put in place. This article therefore discusses the ethical and legal issues which could arise from the electronic tagging and tracking of persons with albinism
