LoRa Based Smart City (Long Range)

Abstract

The mission is to trace the placement of the women and children for the purpose of their safety in the vicinity with a help of a GPS module integrated on the carrying device. A panic button is deployed on the same device. Whenever an individual is in urgency, the panic button has to be enabled. The transmitter passes info to a gateway (pycom) via LoRa communication. From pycom, information is directed to the IBM cloud using Wi-Fi so that the organization can observe the intensely contaminated areas, temperature, humidity, working status of street light, geofence, filled status of dust bin, and take proper action. A web-application is developed using Nodered, one of the services provided by the IBM cloud through which admin can monitor the above parameters in pictorial form. The coding used for the transmitter is C, which is done in Arduino IDE. For the receiver, it is micro-python using Atom software.
