Implementing IoT
Introduction
In the world we live in we come across many problems that can be easily solved if we had a peer or friend with us at that moment. It is due to the presence of other people that we are often sought into extremely dangerous scenarios that in some cases may take our lives. We can go at looking into these problems into two major ways. The first one being that we can prevent this from happening by always staying in a crowd. Or we could simply solve this by making sure that our location is sought out by our close friends so in any emergencies we can be easily found.
What is an SOS?
SOS is nothing more then a cry for help. The SOS call is an internationally agreed upon Morse code signal that was designed to be easy to remember.
SOS
The Problem
The number of people reported missing has vastly risen over the past decade. It may seem like a small thing however it is an important problem that is simply overlooked .
The Problem
Facts On Missing People
Facts
An estimated 8 million children are said to go missing each year, worldwide. If We were to look at a few of the major countries these would be the Statistics
United States -> 800,000
Brazil -> 40,000
Canada -> 50,500
France -> 39,000
Germany -> 100,000
Mexico -> 45,000
United Kingdom -> 230,000
Reasons For Missing People
Reasons
There have been various reasons upon which a person may be reported missing Lets take a look at a few of these reasons...
- Child Abduction
- Kidnapping
- Natural Calamities
- Run Aways
- Crowds

Solutions
There have been many different solutions that people have been able to com e up with in specific Emergency scenarios . Although all of them are focused upon the same concept of helping out those in these situations they all implement their own ideas and architectures to implement. While some any be simple algorithms others use complex networks to locate and assist the victims. Lets take a look into a few of these solutions that have already been implemented into the real world.
Smart Threat Alert System
Internet of things is governing the era of modern security systems with the implementation of cloud connectivity to the security devices. In recent years, IoT has been a focus of research. The security systems have been implemented efficiently with the help of IoT. IoT keeps the security devices connected and provide stable interconnection between them. Our proposed system combines the features of an Alert System and IoT to provide a less expensive and smarter alert system in emergency situations. It uses the Radio Frequency (RF) detectors to detect the unique combination of RF signals emitted by easily available RF transmitters. Processing of signals and generation of alerts is done with the help of Raspberry Pi. This will be a less expensive and easy to implement system.
Accident Detection & Reporting System
An accident is an unpredicted and unintentional event. Considering the alarming increase in the number of motor bike riders and the number of accidents happening in our country, this system ensures to make the two-wheeler driving safer than before for the rider. The lack of treatment in proper time is the major reason for half of the deaths in road accidents. This system aims at providing early detection of accidents and communicating the information immediately to the emergency responses on time to provide quick assistance for the injured person.
Smart Walking Stick for Blind Integrated
Blind people face many difficulties to interact with their nearby environment. The aim of this paper is to provide a tool which will help blind people to navigate as well as sense the obstacles. We plan to propose a working model which is Walking Stick with in-built ultrasonic sensor with a micro controller system. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect obstacles using ultrasonic waves. On sensing obstacles the sensor passes the data to the micro-controller. The micro-controller then processes the data and calculates if obstacle is close enough. If obstacle is not close enough the circuit does nothing. If obstacle is close then micro-controller sends Alert signal to the blind person.
Solution
In order for us to come up with a solution we looked into the past to identify how people would deal with these in the past. Having looked into how they approached their problems we decided to implement modern technologies to come up with an even better answer. Before we show you our solution lets build up step by step and see how accurate these were.
Our Solution
Necklaces
Necklace
We were first inspired with how in the past rebels used to wear poison lockets around their necks so in the scenario that they are captured they can easily take away their lives by swallowing their necklace then being interrogated from the enemy for information.
Emergency Exits
If we were to observe many of the emergency tools available in a building we can observe how most of them are often shielded by a little slab of glass which should always be broken in case of an emergency.

Our Idea
Now take both of these past solutions or things that have existed in our world and put them together. What if we could create a product that was used like a necklace or a bracelet yet when it is bitten into or a decent amount of force is applied an SOS signal would be sent to a specific person to which it has been programmed for. Image all the nasty problems we could prevent with such a thing.

Module 1: Dhanush (Project Leader)
Assign all members of our project with proper assignments and periodic work to ensure the development of our project. Help and assist all project members through all of their assignments and explain to them their objectives and what they must accomplish.
Module 2: Abhinay & Lokesh
Identify all of the required components for our project. We must make a prototype which is both effective as well as cost friendly to ensure that our prototype is affordable. Once all of the components have been gathered, we will now begin to work upon creating our circuit so that we can integrate and work with all of our sensors. Interfacing the GPS Module into our circuit and ensuring that it is properly working. Establishing Connection with Twillio API through ThingESP to send message alerts to the user
Module 3: Santosh
Identify the type of software we must use to code and implement our prototype. Identify all of the features of the code and establish the proper flow of the entire algorithm even for future implementations. Create Project code to program our components along with all of the modules that we will be functioning with so that it is properly executed.
