An Intelligent Framework for Safeguarding and Surveillance of Women in Smart Cities

In Each nation across the globe has established a mechanism for reporting instances of violence perpetrated against women. The statistical data pertaining to law enforcement agencies in Asian nations indicates a notable incidence of criminal offences perpetrated against the female gender. During the late 1990s, the National Crime Records Bureau released a report which forecasted that the escalation in the incidence of crimes perpetrated against women could potentially surpass the growth rate by the year 2020. Historically, a significant number of offences perpetrated against women were not brought to the attention of law enforcement officials owing to the negative connotations attached to such actions. Based on the data gathered by the government, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of various forms of criminal activities perpetrated against women. The principal objective of this study is to address the deficiencies in the current security surveillance systems with the aim of enhancing the safety of female constituents within the community. The extant surveillance technology currently available in the market is deemed insufficient to address the contemporary apprehensions regarding the safety of women. Consider the scenario wherein a male individual gains unauthorized access to a women's hostel facility. In the case of a nocturnal emergency resulting from a fire outbreak, during which the occupants of the hostel are in a state of slumber, the developed system will effectively identify the fire and promptly alert the designated fire department personnel through a pre-programmed message. The proposed system is expected to incorporate supplementary features, including realtime video streaming, email and text message notifications, SMS alerts for unauthorized access, and the capacity to transmit videos of anomalous movements detected within the monitored region.
