3. ABSTRACT
Frequent incidents of fishermen from Tamil Nadu
getting shot in the Sri Lankan's maritime boundary
have enraged all citizen of the state. From the
fishermen's point of view, straying takes place
inadvertently, due to sheer ignorance about
maritime boundaries. The main aim of the system
is to help the fishermen not to navigate beyond
other country's border. It will identify the
boundary zone using Radio frequency. If the
fisherman approaches border it gives voice
message /LED display/alarm indicating that the
fisherman has nearing the border. If they try to
move forward then automatically motor of the
ship/boat will stop.
4. NEED OF GPS :
GPS based border alert system aims in keeping
an end for the killings of the fishermen were
seen quite common in the boundary coastal
areas which has become quite common these
days. The reason for this they were crossing the
territory or boundary. This happening due to lack
of awareness where their boundary is located
and the cost of this mistake is their life and we
cannot provide any sign board in the mid of the
sea to solve this problem. The only solution
which we provide for this problem is enabling
the boats with a GPS device.
6. WORKING :
This GPS receiver is capable of identifying the location
in which it was present in the form of latitude and
longitudes.
This information is very useful and can be processed for
alerting the boat drivers.
The GPS gives the data received from the satellites. For
this information the GPS communicates with at least
three satellites in the controller. space. The functioning
of the device is achieved by employing a micro
The micro controller forms the controlling unit of the
project. The micro controller is interfaced with a GPS
receiver so that it can receive the information about
the location in which the boat is present.
The controller compares the location of the boat with
the territory location. Whenever the boat approaches
the boundary it alerts the driver. It is also interfaced
with few LED indicators to alert the boat driver.
7. System contains :
Layer1: Green LED indication
Layer2: Red LED indication
Layer3: Alarm indication &speed control
Layer4: Engine off
8. BOUNDARY IDENTIFICATION :
The boundary is identified using Radio
frequencies. The particular RF is generated at
the base station and if the boat crosses the RF
level, then the alarm beeps and the engine of
the boat gets stop.
9. BENEFITS
Nobody can enter the other country’s boundary
and can maintain good relation with countries
without affecting sovereignty with other
countries.
The unnecessary arrest and getting shot by
Lankan’s navy can be avoided.
If unofficial arrest/hijack occurs then the Indian
Government can claim and save the fishermen
from the Lankan Navy with the records available
with the coastal guards.
In case of any danger on the sea, it can be
detected by the system and the particular
location of the boat is sent to the coastal guards.
10. ADVANTAGES :
Same kit can perform many applications
Less cost
Reusable
Small in size
