Abstract :- Nowadays Travel baggage safety has become the need
of the hour. Monitoring and tracking are the two key parameter
for any safety mechanism . Loosing the baggage in the absence of
passenger’s attention is increasing day-by-day. This study
considers receiver’s ability to act in the absence of signal from
transmitter using RF communications . A micro-controller is
used to process the signals from receiver. Accordingly an SMS
will be send to the owner using Global system for mobile
communication (GSM). The proposed methodology produced
significantly favourable results.
Keywords: Tracking, microcontroller, transmitter-receiver, GPS-
GSM, arduino.
I. INTRODUCTION
he scenario has come to a point that every individual has
awaken himself because the theft chances are increasing
with the advancement of technology . Theft attempt may
enable the GPS-GSM module and trigger the buzzer
automatically. Also sending the message quickly to the
concerned persons to make them alert with the support of
transmitter-receiver. However, the GSM based security
systems provides enhanced security as whenever a signal from
TRANSMITTER is absent ,the buzzer is alarmed and a text
message is sent to a predefined number to take necessary
actions. Nandeesh et al. (2014) projected a mechanism that
secures people from leaking of raw gas and fire at home and
industries . This system used GPS and GSM Technology.
GPS finds location and sends location information where the
fire occurs to nearest fire station and police station and also
opens emergency windows[R1]
. The same is with our study
but with different application where message is sent to the
owner of the baggage giving the coordinates of the baggage
location.
Keeping the above facts in view, this study focuses on
combination of alarming system and navigation system which
enables the passenger to avoid loosing his baggage if in small
range (5-10 mts) using buzzer-alarm feature and large range
using gps-gsm feature.
II. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Transmitter Module- To detect the baggage, Tx-Rx module is
used to initiate the buzzer. From figure 1 it is seen that the
transmitter part of the wireless remote control comprises of
two components an Encoder HT12E and an RF transmitter
module which is used for data transmission. The IC HT12E is
an Encoder IC which converts 12 bit parallel data inputs into
serial outputs. These 12 bits are divided into 8 address
bits(A0-A7) and 4 data bits (D0-D3).[R2]
Figure 2 is the
transmitter module.
(Fig 1-Tx Ic Connection With Encoder Ic) (Fig 2-Transmitter Module)
Receiver Module-The Receiver is comprised of HT12D a
matching decoder IC and an RF receiver module for receiving
the incoming signal from the transmitter. The HT12D is a
matching decoder IC to the HT12E which consists of similar
8 bit Address bits (A0-A7) and 4 data output pins (D0-D3) to
obtain the input data sent through the HT12E IC.[R2]
The
address bits A0-A7 is connected to ground since the all the
address bits in the encoder are also connected to the ground.
The modules work on 433MHz frequency. Figure 3 is the
discription of receiver ic.

Arduino Uno- The Arduino Uno board can be powered using
the USB port by connecting to a laptop or with an external
power supply. An AC to DC adapter or a battery can be used
as an external power supply. An external supply of 6-20 V can
be operated on the board. It uses an ATmega328 as the
processor. B. Vuayalakshmi; R. Jenifer Prarthana; A. Shankar
worked on a project aided by the ultrasonic sensor which is
interfaced with Arduino UNO to check the level of garbage
filled in the dustbin and sends the alert to the municipal web
server once if garbage is filled [R3]
.This project works on thr
same lines but the information is sent to the GSM module
rather than the server.
(Fig 4- Arduino Uno)
Figure 4 shows the arduino uno board which comes with
ATMEGA328 processor.
The ATmega328 consist of 32 KB with 0.5 KB occupied by
the bootloader. It also consist of 2 KB of SRAM and 1 KB of
EEPROM (which can be read and written with the EEPROM
library). For input and output each of the 14 pins can be used
by using pinMode(), and digitalRead() functions. 20 mA is
the recommended operating condition for each pin can for
transmitting and receiving.
GSM Module – The project uses SIM900A GSM Module. The
module communicates in 900MHz band. In india most of
communication takes place in 900MHz range. For another
country, we have to check the mobile network band in that
area. Most of United States mobile networks operate in
850Mhz band Canada operates primarily on 1900 Mhz band.
The core board processor system using ATMEGA328 as the
core controller, communication module and GSM/GPRS
module to send and receive data at fixed interval of time
similar to a one made by Li Min where he made a System
based on CORTEX M3 core board and high performance
industrial GSM/GPRS module SIM900A as the core of
design, design a kind of automatic SMS alarm smoke gas
detection system [R4]
. Figure 5 is the SIM900A Gsm Module
which consist of a sim slot.
(Fig 5-GSM Module)
Connection With Arduino - There can be two ways of
connecting GSM module to arduino. In both case, the
communication between Arduino and GSM module is serial.
So we can use serial pins of Arduino (Rx and Tx). So if we
are going with this method, we may connect the Tx pin of
GSM module to Rx pin of Arduino and Rx pin of GSM
module to Tx pin of Arduino as shown in figure 6. But the
arduino is not intrfaced directly to gsm module. It is
connected via max232 ic for converting TTL protocol to
RS232 protocol using DB9 connector [R7] .
(Fig 6-Connection With Arduino)
GPS Module- In the paper, a solution of an object tracker
(hereinafter referred to as the terminal) is introduced to
acquire the current location information of the baggage/object
through GSM/GPRS functional module SIM900 and GPS
functional module SIM28[R5]
. It is a high performance and
reliable assisted GPS module-SIM28. This is a standalone
frequency GPS module in a SMT type. It is designed with the
high sensitivity navigation engine. It consist of an external
antenna . It requires power between 2.9-3.6V. It can have both
external and internal antenna.Figure 7 shows the GPS SIM28
GPS module.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/28-32-171002154433/85/Travsafe-An-Electronic-Security-Monitoring-System-Using-GPS-GSM-and-RF-Communication-2-320.jpg)

III. WORKING
The project comprises of RF transmitter and receiver
integrated with an encoder and a decoder respectively. The
communicate at 433.92mhz frequency. Both encoder and
decoder are 18 pin dip packets. Both have 8 address pins and
4 data pins. There is a special pin at the decoder ic pin no 17
namely Vt[R6]
. The data sent between the transmitter and
receiver is not important to the project but the continuity of
the communication is of much greater importance. This is
where the vt pin comes into play. Vt stands for valid
transmission. As far as the transmitter and receiver are in each
other’s range, this pin is active high. This feature of the RF
module has been used to make the near and far mode of the
device work.
Near Mode- In the near mode, as soon as the transmitter
comes in the range of the receiver, the Vt pin is active high
and the buzzer on the transmitter is initiated. This feature is
used in the application at an airport where the luggage on the
conveyer belt, when comes in to the passenger’s range, starts
to buzzer on and the passenger is informed about its location.
During the stolen scenario, as soon as the owner reaches the
location indicated by the GPS system, the concerned
authorities (police/security) can track down the stolen object
containing the transmitter. To close the buzzer a switch has
been incorporated on the transmitter.
Far Mode- This mode does the reverse process but on the
same concept. This time the transmitter goes out of the range
and the value of the Vt pin again changes but this time the
buzzer does not goes off. On the other hand the processor
initiates the GPS-GSM modules that sends the location of the
baggage carrying the transmitter. This time the receiver does
not give any indication. On the contrary the coordinates of the
transmitter location is sent through GSM module to the
owners phone which could be easily copied and searched on
google for the location. Figure 8 shows the coordinates of last
location of object on phone. This feature is easily used while
travelling on a train where the luggage is near the passenger
and can be tracked down if stolen. The second part of the
device is an arduino board having an atmega328 processor.
The main function of the arduino is to process the status of the
Vt pin after every regular interval.
(Fig 8-Location Coordinates On Phone)
To have more accurate result, the interval is kept 3-4
seconds.The last part of the device is the GPS and GSM
module. A sim is incorporated into the GSM module which
send the coordinates of the transmitter received by the GPS
module through satellite communication. The GPS module I
different from the GPS of the mobile phone because the
mobile navigation connects itself with the nearby mobile
tower whereas the GPS module on the device connects
directly with the satellites.

CONCLUSION In this paper, low cost, security, far and wide accessibility, remotely controlled solution for baggage security has been implemented. The method discussed in this paper has achieved the target to track down lost/stolen baggage using the SMS-based system satisfying the user needs and requirements. From the convenience of a simple cell phone, a user is able to control and monitor the location of his stolen luggage(in case of a traveller). By keeping the transmitter in the bag the concerned person can keep track of the whereabouts of his luggage by a message on the mobile handset. Future works may be done on minimizing the size of the system.
