An alarm is an audio or visual signal to alert people of a problem, danger or something undesirable. Some alarm systems are used for security purposes during producing warning signal in form of sound, light or send alarm message to warn people of a particular danger. In this research a framework of mobile emergency alarm system (MEAS) is proposed. The system consists of two parts: Transmitted and Central emergency. The aim of the first part is to detect the event, its type and trace the location using global position system (GPS) receiver device, furthermore it sends all these gathered information's as SMS message to central emergency part using Global system for mobile communication (GSM). The aim of the second part is monitoring and analyzing the alarm message and finding the nearest helping center. The system uses Arduino microcontroller R3, sound sensor and three push buttons for (fire, car accident and earthquake). Internet of thing (IOT) is used in this system to send and receive the alarms between the transmitted part and central emergency part. The proposed system follows the object-oriented software engineering (OOSE) approach using unified modeling language (UML).
FAQs
AI
What are the key response time metrics for the emergency alarm system?
The system is designed to achieve a response time of under 30 seconds in worst-case scenarios, with an average elapsed time of 11.5 seconds for detection to intervention.
How does the proposed system ensure accurate location detection during emergencies?
The system utilizes GPS integrated with an Arduino microcontroller, applying the Haversine formula to calculate distances to emergency services based on latitude and longitude.
What distinguishes the mobile emergency alert system from existing systems?
The mobile emergency alert system leverages IoT technology to transmit real-time alerts via SMS while automatically determining the nearest emergency response center.
Which sensors are incorporated into the system's design for monitoring emergencies?
The system employs a variety of sensors including sound sensors, temperature sensors (LM35), and passive infrared sensors for comprehensive environmental detection.
What improvements are recommended for future iterations of the emergency system?
Future work suggests using Vincenty's formula for enhanced accuracy, integrating additional sensors, and developing features for auto-observation and monitoring.
