Geofencing Application using IRNSS/NavIC

With the development of the Global Positioning Sys-tem and other Navigation Satellite Systems, it is possible to locate position coordinates precisely. The growth of smart devices and high-speed data connectivity has also supported the development of applications using location information. Geofencing is a major field of location-based services that enables remote monitoring of pre-defined boundaries. This paper describes various applications of geofencing and presents a novel approach to child safety application using geofencing. A hardware setup is designed to send position coordinates of a child in real-time. A mobile application is developed for parents to monitor their children remotely. They can set up a geofence in the app and receive alerts when the child goes out of bounds. The geofencing application utilizes NavIC at its core.
