Women Safety Device with Shock Taser and Location Tracking

Abstract

This abstract provides an overview of a Women Safety Device. The safety and security of women continue to be a significant concern in modern society. To address this issue, we present a comprehensive Women Safety Device equipped with a Shock Taser and Location Tracking, implemented using the Arduino Uno microcontroller. The core functionalities of the proposed device include a shock taser for self- defense and a location tracking system to ensure quick response in case of emergencies. The shock taser is designed to deliver a non-lethal electric shock, acting as a deterrent against potential threats. The device utilizes high-voltage, low-current pulses generated by the Arduino Uno to create a safe and effective self-defense mechanism. Furthermore, the location tracking feature utilizes GPS and GSM technologies to continuously monitor the user\'s real-time position. The Arduino Uno gathers GPS data and transmits it via GSM to the predefined contacts. This allows authorized contacts, such as family members or authorities, to track the user\'s location and respond promptly to distress situations. By combining a shock taser for self-defense and a real-time location tracking system, this device contributes to a safer environment for women and provides peace of mind for both users and their loved ones.
