Abstract :
This research outlines the creation of a panic
alarm prototype based on Arduino technology. An
examination was undertaken to identify gaps in existing
panic alarm systems. The data collected from this
research gap analysis informed the development
process, which followed the agile software development
method. The development utilized C++ web
technologies on a computer equipped with an i5
processor, 12GB DDR III RAM, a 250GB hard disk
drive, and a 500GB solid-state drive.
The study successfully produced a prototype alarm
featuring a GPS and SMS module, addressing the
identified research gap in current panic alarms and
offering an additional layer of security during travel.
The GPS module demonstrated approximately 80%
accuracy, acknowledging challenges in locating signals
within buildings or residential areas. Testing involved
five locations, including open spaces and indoor settings,
with the prototype activated while the user moved. The
SMS function operated concurrently with the GPS,
sending messages to the registered user based on the
prototype's location as determined by the GPS.
