Alert System for Fisherman Crossing Border using Lab View

Abstract

The aim of the project is helpful for fisherman to crossing the border. In day-to-day life we hear
about many Tamil Nadu fishermen being caught and put under Sri Lanka security forces custody and even
killed. The sea border between the countries is not easily identifiable, which is the main reason for this cross
border cruelty. We use GPS receiver to find the current location of the fishing boat or vessel. Using GPS, we
can find the current latitude and longitude values and is sent to the microcontroller unit. Then the controller
unit finds the current location by comparing the present latitude and longitudinal values with the predefined
value. Then from the result of the comparison, this system aware the fishermen that they are about to reach the
nautical border. And at the same time we introduce a audio announcement for alerting them, which is nothing
but the device will communicate in their local language whenever they are crossing their border which could
be easily understood by the fisherman. When any damage or sinking of boat causes, the fishermen can easily
alert the guards near to them. When the Emergency button is pressed, an GSM signal carrying the latitude and
longitude information will be send to the sea shore and it is possible to locate them easily where they are.
