Real-time Emergency Reporting and Handling System

With advancements in communication and internet technology along with affordable network services, smartphones have now become a part of our daily lives. A smartphone is always at an arm-distance away from us. The smartphones are equipped with a wide variety of high quality and advanced sensors. These sensors can be used to collect data. This brings us to the question of why this device is not used for handling emergency situations in real time at a wide scale yet? This is where our system comes in the picture. This research work intends to create a system that allows the user to send an emergency signal to the authorities using their smartphones at time of distress and also provides an interactive map to the control room which indicates the live location of the person in distress all in real-time. This results in safety of civilians along with a method for authorities to deal with emergencies and crimes.
