Abstract

Children have suffered untold plights because of the dehumanizing growth of kidnapping due to widening scale of insecurity in Nigeria. Many children had been abducted while going or coming from school making the abductees and their families traumatised by the ordeal of the kidnapping. Child tracking system is widely used all over in the world and it gives the assurance to the parents that their child is safe from suspicious action but they are not affordable for people in the lower economic class. This brought the need for the proposal of the low cost smart bag, which will be school child back pack bag with a real time tracking system attached to a secure place in the bag. The proposed system will make use of Neo-6M GPS module, Arduino Uno microcontroller, GSM800L and powered by Li ion battery. The Neo-6M GPS module to detect the location of the bag when it goes out of the geofence, that is the permitted area where the child can travel, and send it to the Arduino Uno microcontroller. The microcontroller will be activated from its sleep mode by the GPS message from the Neo-6M GPS module in form of latitude and longitude of the exact location of the bag. The microcontroller will also send the location as SMS to the parent's phone number via GSM800L module. The message will be sent every five (5) minutes to prolong the battery life and timely tracking of the location. The exact location will then be tracked on the Google map
