Inspiration
We are probably living in the worst time our modern society has ever seen in terms of women security. We aim to make women feel as strong as ever and strong enough to fight the parasites of our society, strong enough to fight the odds, strong enough to protect themselves against any sexual assaults. We aim at giving power to those without whom we cease to exist. Our idea is to design a system which shall make every place and every hour safer for women again. A system which shall re-establish how very gregarious mankind is. This system shall geotag and send SOS alert to the nearest police station, close contacts and also alert people in and around the venue of the crime, everything just at a click of a button. The idea is to make up for the time it takes police to arrive at the location.
What it does
HARDWARE:- A GPS module integrated with the node-mcu or small wifi module like BOLT-IoT which takes small power to run properly and efficiently. This small device will be kept inside womens bag or attached to the wrist like the smart band. This will continuously send the location information to the IBM CLOUD.(But due to lockdown and time constrain I could not complete the hardware part and for the demo I will be pushing the data manually to the IBM cloud from google collab) SOFTWARE:-Now in the backend the IBM cloud will collect the data from the hardware through IBM Watson IoT and will process the data in the Cloudant DB and finally push it to the node-red. In the node red we had set a geo-fenching area, if cloud detects that the hardware is going outside the geo fench it will push a SMS through the FAST2SMS API and will let her guardian know about the thing. Moreover in the server it will also pin out the position if the device goes outside the GEO-FENCHING area. So, that everybody or the guardian can take action accordingly.
Authentication:- We had used SAWO Auth API for keeping a hustle free, password less login page of the server.
Challenges we ran into
These are the following challenges we ran into:-
- Using sawo API in our hack
- To integrate the geo fencing
- to pin out in the map every after 5 secs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I had explored so many things within limited time span. It was a tad difficult for me to collaborate with every stack including the frontend backend and the IBM cloud but I am proud of finishing the project on time which seemed like a tough task initially but happily implemented every thing what I had thought of. Lastly, I think the impact of my project could have a significant accomplishment. Especially, trailing the current scenario of our country in women safety, this could really be a product that both the guardian and the woman can find useful in need!
