Abstract -
It is seen that kidnapping cases are increasing day by
day all over the world. Mostly working parents worry
for possibility of their children getting kidnap.
However, existing systems to prevent this crime need
mobile phones on both sides one with parent and
another with the child. But, the proposed system is the
device to protect the school going children of age 5 to
8 years old there are two side one is child side which
includes a module with a child and another side is
parent side which have mobile. Existing system have
facility of sending an SMS to parent everyday when
child reaches its destination but at very first this
device records path and from next day informs
parents when the child gets deviated from its recorded
path And then it sends the child location on parent
mobile phone. This module have microcontroller,
GPS, GSM.
Keywords­  Global   positioning   system,   Global
system for mobile communication, tracking system.
I. INTRODUCTION
One of the biggest problems over the world is
the child kidnapping. Instead of having so much of
securities the crime is taking place. So people
especially parents are facing problems regarding
their school going kid between the age of 5 to 10
years old. Children are taken to be bought and sold
in the market. According to the report by National
Human Rights Commission of India 40,000
children are abducted every year of which 11000
remain untraced. With the help of this system at
least they will be traced it will be known to their
parents that where are their kids. GPS is one of the
useful modules to track the location. In such a big
area or city it is not possible to locate the person so
with the help of this locating someone is really
easy. So proposed system is to make them safe it
includes the child tracking and informing the
location of child.
At very first day this system records the path or
route to school from home and vice-versa then from
next day it starts working. If at any time the child
gets diverted from its recorded path it sends
message to parent that his/her kid got diverted from
the path and it send the current position of child in
form of longitude and latitude. Till now present
system have facility of sending SMS to parent daily
and informing them that their child reached the
destination or not at a particular time and on first
day they will see the message and feel relieved but
as the days starts passing this disturbs the parents a
lot starts avoiding the messages and if some day
they get alert message of their kid not reaching to
the respective destination and they avoid it then this
will lead the some big crime creating problem to
both parent and child.
In fact in general parents wish to know the
location of their child they can send the message of
‘WRY’ to the module and can get the location of
kid. So this system overcomes the current
disadvantages of existing system. Not only during
travelling to any place it can be used while the child
is playing outside the house.
II. RELATED WORK
System developed by J. Saranya, J, Selvakumar
they proposed the plan of “Implementation of Child
Tracking System on Android Mobile Terminals”, in
which they used theArm7 microcontroller (Ipc
2378), Global Positioning System (GPS), Global
system for mobile communication (GSM), Voice
playback circuit. In this system they needed the cell
phones on both the sides one on parent side and
other on child side which is not allowed for small
kids basically it was for the monitoring data base in
control room of the school. But at every school
control rooms are not provided.
In the proposed plan of Pankaj Verma, J.S
Bhatia, “ Design and Development of GPS-GSM
Based Tracking System with Google Map Based
Monitoring”, in this they made a module in which
Google map application is required this was
designed basically for the vehicle tracking. They
used the GSM and GPS too. In this they had to
design a web application for mobile to track it.
In the project designed by the Shatha K. Jawad,
Al-Gawagzeh Mohammed Yousef, Balkiect ESSA,
Al-Shagoor, “A multipurpose Child Tracking
System Design & Implementation”, was made to
detect the various danger surrounded by more than
one child. It consisted of two modules one at parent
side and other at child side. Whenever a danger was
detected at the child side a sensor in module
produce a signal this signal will be send from
sensor to controller then through transmitter to
parent module it can detect the distance too but it
was not having the facility of child cry and the
anytime location finding system.
In Al-Suwaidi and Zemerl work, “Locating
Friends and
Family Using Mobile Phones with Global
Positioning System
(GPS)”. Here also mobile phones were required and
it needs internet connectivity too on both sides. It
needs login in the application and client sends it
location periodically to other side and it gets stored
in database. And if other client side wants to know
the location of another client they will have to
register and login by sending the location request.
This was designed to locate the family members or
friends so it cannot be used by the children of small
ages.
In paper of A-Al- Mazloum, E. Omer, M.F.A.
Abdullah,”GPS & SMS Based child tracking
system using smart phone”, it proposed an android
based solution for parents to track their child. They
took the advantage of mobile phone tracking
system as they think kids carry mobile phones but
for age group proposed in our paper cannot carry
the phones as it is not allowed in schools. In this
they proposed to that parents have to send the
request of location and child’s side responsibility is
to reply to this request but it does not alert them
when child is in danger.
III. SYSTEM DESIGN
Memory
Fig. 1. Block diagram of the proposed system
Above shown block diagram (Fig. 1)
describes the design of the proposed system. GPS
tracks the location of the child and GSM
technology transmits and receives the location.
Here transmitter is child module which contains
GPS module which is used to track the location of
system proposed. It will show the latitude and
longitude of the location. GSM module works as a
mediator between parents and the child this will
send the SMS to parents mobile phone when child
diverts from the recorded path.
MAX 232 IC is used as a serial driver. It is
connected between microcontroller and GPS, GSM
modules. Main function of this IC is the serial
communication between them and inversion of
voltage. Microcontroller (P89V51RD2) which is a
40 pin IC is used here which is the heart of this
system as all other function performed with the
help of this only. Other hardware is connected to
microcontroller through the relay except GSM and
GPS modules. Programming is done to
microcontroller using the software.
Here 2x16 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is
used which is of 16 pins. LCD is used to show the
tracked location of the device which is connected
only to the microcontroller and have unidirectional
data transfer. RTC (Real Time Clock) here DS 1307
IC is used which is of 8 pin. It shows the timing of
the device in second, minutes, and hours. Memory
(24C512) memory IC it saves the tracked locations.
IV. HARDWARE SYSTEM DESIGN
A. MICROCONTROLLER (P89V51RD2)
 The P89V51RD2 is an 80C51 microcontroller
with 64 KB Flash and 1024 bytes of data RAM. A
key feature of the P89V51RD2 is its X2 mode
option. Run the application with the conventional
80C51 clock rate (12 clocks per machine cycle) or
select the X2 mode (6 clocks per machine cycle) to
achieve twice the throughput at the same clock
frequency. 80C51is Central Processing Unit. Three
16-bit timers/counters. The Flash program memory
supports both parallel programming and in serial
In-System Programming (ISP). ISP allows a device
to be reprogrammed in the end product under
software control.
B. GPS
Global Positioning System provides a
solution that high position and speed accuracy
performances as well as high sensitivity and
tracking capabilities in urban conditions. It is
used to track location through satellite. It
gives the position (latitude and
longitude) at that particular time. It
calculates the co-ordinates.
C. GSM
Global system for mobile
communication is used for transmitting
or sending and receiving the data. It
sends the message of the location,
having improved battery life. Through
this module only data moves from
proposed system to another. It is a
medium of data transmission between
child and parents informing them that
their child diverted from the respective
path.
D. LCD
Liquid Crystal Display screen is an electronic
display module. A 2x16 LCD is a very basic
module and is very commonly used in devices and
circuits. These modules are preferred over
7segments and other multisegment LEDs. The
reasons being LCDs are economical easily
programmable having no limitation of displaying
special and even custom characters. It has 2
registers namely command and data.
Command register stores the command
instruction given to the LCD. A command is an
instruction given to the LCD to predefined tasks
like initializing it, clearing its screen, setting the
cursor position, controlling displaying etc. Data
register stores the data to be displaying on the LCD.
V. SOFTWARE SYSTEM DESIGN
A. HYPERTERMINAL
It is a communication software
developed by Hilgraeve and is available
with Windows XP with this the user can
have the ability of connecting and
transferring files between 2 computers.
Here this software is used to connect
GSM and GPS modules by using AT
commands and with the help of
HyperTerminal locations are received.
B. RIDE
RIDE is a fully featured Integrated Development
Environment that provides seamless integration and
easy to access to all development tools. From
editing to compiling, linking, debugging and back
to start, with a simulator, ICE, ROM monitor or
other debugging tool, RIDE conveniently manages
all aspects of the embedded systems development
with a single user interface.
C. FLASH MAGIC
It is a tool which used to program hex code in
EEPROM of microcontroller. It is a freeware tool.
It only supports the microcontroller of Philips and
NXP. You can burn a hex code into those
controllers which supports ISP (in system
programming) feature. To check whether your
microcontroller supports ISP or not take look at its
datasheet. So if your device supports ISP then you
can easily burn a hex code into EEPROM of your
device.
Flash Magic supports several chips like ARM
Cortex M0, M3, ARM7, and 8051.

VII. CONCLUSION

This project implementation focuses on the

tracking of child when he/she diverts from the
recorded path and sends SMS to the parents with
the location in form of latitude and longitude which
does not disturbs parent daily and whenever parents
want to know the position at anytime they can send
SMS to proposed module ‘WRY’ and can get the
location of child at that time. This makes their child
safe anywhere from the dangerous crime taking
place nowadays.
