Border Alert Fishing Boat Security System Using Global Positioning System

Abstract: This paper introduces an intelligent design which would transform the life of fishermen community in India. One of the problems faced by the Indian fishermen is the arrest made by the neighboring country. This is because of the lack of knowledge of their position across the sea. This problem can be overcome with the dynamic location of the vessel by using the Global Positioning System and the Electronic Control Unit that has ARM7 microprocessor. Using GPS, we can find the current latitude and longitude values and is sent to the microcontroller unit. Then the controller unit finds the current location by comparing the present latitude and longitudinal values with the predefined value. Then from the result of the comparison, this system aware the fishermen that they are about to reach the nautical border. If the boat enters the zone nearer to the restricted zone the alarm will turn on and the speed of the boat engine automatically gets controlled by 50% and once it touches the restricted zone, the boat engine gets off by the control of fuel supply to engine.
