TECHSHIELD: AI-IoT SMART WOMEN SECURITY WITH REAL-TIME GPS THREAT ALERTS

Abstract

Women’s safety in both public and private environments has become a major societal concern due to the increasing number of harassment, assault, kidnapping, and emergency incidents that often occur without immediate assistance. Conventional safety systems mainly rely on mobile phone calls, Short Message Service (SMS) alerts, or manual emergency applications, where users must unlock devices, open applications, and perform multiple interaction steps during critical situations. These traditional systems frequently fail during panic conditions, physical attacks, or unconscious states, resulting in delayed emergency response and reduced effectiveness. Such limitations create the need for an intelligent, wearable, and real-time security solution capable of providing immediate assistance with minimal user interaction. This project proposes “TechShield: Artificial Intelligence (AI)–Internet of Things (IoT) Smart Women Security with Real-Time Global Positioning System (GPS) Threat Alerts,” an embedded wearable safety system designed using an ESP32 microcontroller, GPS module, panic switch, buzzer, Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), and Wi-Fi-based IoT communication platform. When the emergency switch is activated, the system instantly captures the user’s live GPS coordinates, transmits threat alerts and location details to guardians and emergency contacts through the IoT platform, and activates a buzzer for local alert generation. The AI-enabled cloud platform further performs intelligent threat prioritization and alert management. The proposed system provides a compact, portable, low-cost, and reliable personal safety solution that effectively combines embedded systems, IoT, and AI technologies for enhancing women’s security and emergency response efficiency
