Desarrollo de un rastreador GPS para ubicación y desplazamiento de niños en rutas o zonas configuradas en una aplicación

Abstract

The lack of security in the country, the constant reports of disappearance of children, is the reality we face day by day. The use of technology can serve as a solution to these facts. This project aims to develop and implement a child tracking device through an Android application, the modular device capable of being placed in a backpack will use the Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) Sigfox network technology for data transmission. The device uses two main electronic modules; the first is a LoPy Pycom 4 module in charge of transmitting the data through the Sigfox network, as well as integrating a microcontroller necessary to control the shipment; and the second, a NEO6MV2 GPS module that will oversee obtaining the data from the satellites to accurately determine the location of the device. This device will send data to a network server and at the same time it will be sent to its own server, which will handle this information and will represent it in an Android application developed for monitoring the device. The device was subjected to functional verification tests in much of Quito. Obtaining by means of a sweep of this a variable operation by sectors and in addition to other factors such as weather, line of sight and travel speed that directly influence the quality of the network signal and the sending of messages that are the basis for displaying the location in real time.
