| Abstract |
The Internet of Things (IoT) technology has received a lot of attention in business, smart cities, smart grids, autonomous vehicles, industrial internet and academic worlds in recent years. This gives the idea to make a tracking system with IoT applications that consist of real-time visualization where it can monitor and track a person using the device. Nowadays, every parent allows and trains their children to explore everywhere, for example, playing with friends in the playground, going to school and even to the nearby shop to buy some necessities. However, this situation often makes parents worry about their children's safety when they are outside the residential area. As reported by Bukit Aman’s criminal investigation department (CID), an average of 78 cases of abduction and disappearance of children under the age of 12 were reported every month in 2022. Therefore, this project aims to assist parents in tracking the location of their children's position also used to be a smart tracker for visualization detection and could track the location of vehicles. The main components used are the ESP32 microcontroller as the integrated wireless communication and the Global Positioning System (GPS) as the geolocation and time provider. This proposed project can help parents monitor the whereabouts of their children through the internet and keep track of the children in real time. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024. |
