Abstract:
Although technology advances cannot help in limiting the dreadfulness missing-in-action that occurs either in war or in dangerous sports, they could at least help in reducing its effects and casualties. One way to help in this aim could be by tracking and monitoring the location and health situation of the concerned persons. The main objective of the work presented in this paper is to design and implement a complete tracking system. The system is composed of a mini portable server, defined as a central unit hosted on a Raspberry Pi and used to monitor members’ location, state, and health information. This will be done through wireless communications to small devices equipped with the necessary sensors and attached to the member's arm. Moreover, the system provides an emergency button to request help if pressed when the member is facing an urgent situation. A set of test cases has been applied and the results achieved by our prototype have presented a promising accuracy and efficiency when applying such a system.
