to leave their homes. With the help of technology devices can
be built to enhance the safety of the women. This device will
generate an emergency alarm and will also send the message
to concerned person. Women carrying this device can send the
information to the police by pressing SOS button. In this
project NodeMCU is interfaced with GPS module and IFTTT (If
This Than That) for getting location co-ordinates and sending
alert SMS. When the SOS button is pressed whole system gets
active and send the message which is attached with latitude
and longitude co-ordinates of the place which is calculated by
the GPS, controller reads the value and sends the data to the
predefined number via SMS using IFTTT applets like android
SMS.GPS will get data from the satellites and obtains the
geographical position of the device. NodeMCU decodes the
NMEA format data to GPS coordinates using libraries,
Operating voltage of the project is 5v, This project can be Fig-1: Block Diagram

1.2 FLOWCHART 2. ADVANTAGES

 It can be used as a official evidence of crime and
accurate information of the place of persecution.

 It is affordable not so expensive

 Comfortable and it is easy to use with just one press

on sos button.

 The family member can find women/anyone in

danger and take appropriate steps to rescue the
women from danger.

 It is portable and Wifi- Enabled.

3. APPLICATIONS
 Can be used in vehicle tracking & safety system.
 Can be used for the safety of women to easily track a
woman’s location with the help of coordinates sent.
 Can be used for child safety.
 Can be used for the safety of the elderly.
 Can be used for the safety of people with physical
disabilities.
 Can be used in Security applications.
