Thousands of Tamil fishermen have been arrested, shot by the Sri Lankan government. Fishermen not having the knowledge of boundary, enter into the Sri Lankan boundary. Once entered into the boundary, they get caught or shot by the government. Hence to save the lives of fishermen we have designed the system which will help the fisherman not to navigate beyond the boundary by using the (Global Positioning System) GPS and (Global System for Mobile Communication) GSM. The main objective of this project is to help the fisherman not to navigate beyond the country s border. Using the GPS we can find out the current location of ship or vessel. Here we are using three boundary locations for which we are giving alert to the fisherman. If the ship or vessel is about to cross the first boundary location, then an alarm is generated to indicate that the fisherman has crossed the first boundary. If the ship or vessel is about to cross the second boundary location, then an alert message is displayed on LCD to indicate that the fisherman has crossed the second boundary location. And at third boundary location GSM is used to send an alert message to the country s base station indicating that vessel has crossed the border. Then guards at the base station can provide the help to the fisherman if needed. Also the motor of the vessel gets shutdown so that fisherman cannot move further. Thus saving the life of the fisherman. Keywords Navigator system, GPS, GSM I. INTRODUCTION India shares maritime boundary with seven nations, viz- Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Maldives, Thailand and Sri Lanka etc. The boundary between buildings or bungalows can be easily identified by building wall. But what about a maritime boundary? Is it easily identifiable? The answer is it is not. Fisherman cannot easily identify the maritime boundary between two countries. Since there is no wall in the sea, it is very tough to identify the boundary. A fisherman does not have the knowledge about the (International Maritime Boundary Line) IMBL.The fisherman coming from poor family and therefore are not economically stable. To earn more money they try to cross the IMBL and get arrested or threaten by the foreign navy or sea pirates. The family of fisherman solely depends upon them. When fisherman gets killed in such situations, then it is a very tough time for family. The whole family get suffers. Fishermen and their families struggle for their safety of life. To save the life of fisherman we have developed the system will give alert them, so that he can make a decision whether to go further or move back. The main two components of controller GPS and GSM. GPS continuously monitors the vessel. The GPS gives the current location of the vessel. The GPS provides this location information to the controller. In the controller we have already stored predefined locations. These locations are of boundary. We have stored three locations of boundary. When the controller receives the current location of the vessel, it compares it with the predefined locations. Once the location is matched the controller gives an instruction to sound the buzzer. Here we are using the GSM for the message transmission. When the fisherman cross the last boundary GSM is connects to the controller to send the alert message to the fisherman as well as to the base station. The vessel will also be stopped by the controller. Thus it will save the life of the fisherman because he cannot move further. We are providing alert message to the base station so that the coast guard can provide the help to the fisherman. A. GPS 72h II. DESCRIPTION OF THE EXISTING All rights Reserved 781

2 Fig. 1. The GPS 72h System The GPS 72h equipment is used for navigation in the sea[2]. It provides the fastest and most accurate method for mariners to navigate, measure speed and determine location. This system enables increased levels of safety and efficiency. It ensures that the ship reaches its destination safely. The accurate position information becomes even more critical as the vessel departs from or arrives in port. B. Distress Alert Transmitter (DAT) Fig. 2. The Distress Alert Transmitter This device was jointly developed by the Indian Coast Guard and the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for fishermen [5]. INSAT based Distress Alert Transmitter (DAT) is used for transmitting conditions along with current location of the vessel to the central hub station via transponders. Transponder can be easily installed in boats or other vehicles. In case of emergency, fisherman just needs to switch on the DAT unit. If Fisherman needs to transmit emergency message such as fire on vessel or medical emergency, the message can be selected by pressing the corresponding switch which is provided in the system. After pressing the appropriate switch DAT emits the signal. The message is transmitted through the satellite to the coast guard. DAT combines the message signal along with the current location of the vessel to central station. 1) Features Low Cost and therefore affordable to fishing community. In-built GPS to give position and time information. C. Vessel Traffic Management System The System includes integrated RADAR, Automatic Identification System (AIS), Radio Direction Finders (RDF), Metrological and Hydrological Sensors, Microwave links as well as VOIP based Very High Frequency (VHF) radio system [5]. All maritime traffic is recorded and movements are stored in a database. D. Automatic Identification System (AIS) In a system transponders are installed on vessels which are used to transmitting signals [5]. The data is sent from each vessel which contains current position of the vessel as well as movement information such as speed, longitude and latitude. DRAWBACK OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM The drawback of the all existing systems is that all systems give current location of the vessel and traffic monitoring, some systems transmit the emergency message to the base station. But, none of the existing system is give an alert to All rights Reserved 782

3 fisherman about the boundary locations. Hence to save the life of fisherman we have proposed a system which gives alert to the fisherman about the boundary locations. III PROPOSED SYSTEM The proposed system uses GPS along with GSM for message transmission [2]. GPS is used to receive the signal from satellite and provides the current location of the vessel. The boundary locations are predefined and stored into the microcontroller. When the GPS receives the current location of the boat, this location is fed to the controller. Controller compares the current location with the predefined locations and if the location is matched then the controller perform a particular operation such as it giving an instruction to sound the alarm. Also here we are using the GSM to transmit the alert message to the base station. GSM provides the alert message to the base station as well as to the fisherman. Base station continuously monitors the boats. When the base station receives an alert message it can provides the help to the fisherman. Thus it saves the life of the fisherman. A. Proposed System Architecture Fig. 3. Proposed System Architecture B. Proposed System Flow Diagram The GPS receiver receives the signal and converts it into desired data message [2]. The data is sent to the microcontroller and controller extracts the longitude and latitude information from the data. Positions get compared with the predefined locations. If the location is matched then alarm is generated and message is transmitted to the base station and also to the All rights Reserved 783

In this block diagram GPS and GSM are used along with the controller unit. Here we are using the PIC 16f877A as a controller. Along with the controller, we are using the buzzer to alert the fisherman, LCD display to display the alert message and also motor drive with the motor to stop the motor if the border is crossed. Here we are using the switching IC to connect the GPS and GSM to the controller unit. To connect the GPS and GSM to the controller we required two UART ports but only one UART port is available. Hence GPS is continuously connected to the controller. Controller unit receives the data from the GPS receiver through UART. The data received contains current location of the vessel in terms of latitude and longitude. The current location is continuously compared with the predefined locations. This Comparison is done by the controller unit. If the location is matched then the controller performs an operation such as giving instructions to the alarm to buzzer or display the alert message on LCD display. Here GPS is continuously monitoring the location of the boat. It gives the information in the form of longitude and latitude. Here we have decided three boundary locations for which we are giving alert to the fisherman as well as to the base station. The 3 level border (B1, B2, and B3) area locations are stored in the controller unit. Now, if the vessel has crossed the first boundary location B1, then the controller unit will provide an alert through the buzzer. If the fisherman neglects the alert and move further then if the vessel crossed the boundary location B2, then controlling unit will send an alert message to the fisherman which will be displayed on the LCD. If fisherman neglect second alert message and move further then if the vessel crosses the boundary location B3, then GSM is get connected to the controlling unit to give an alert message to the base station as well to the fisherman. At the same time motor of the vessel will be stopped using the motor drive. Hence, fisherman cannot move further. And ultimately it will save the life of the All rights Reserved 784

5 D. Controlling Unit (at Base Station) LCD POWER SUPPLY GSM PIC CONTROLLER BUZZER Fig.6Block Diagram of the Controlling Unit Fig.6 shows the block diagram controlling unit at the base station. In this block diagram we are using GSM along with the controller unit. Here we are using the PIC 16f877A as a controller. Along with the controller and GSM we are using the buzzer to alert the fisherman, LCD display to display the alert message. When the ship crossed the B3 border, the boat engine gets turned off through the motor drive. At the same time the GSM gets connected to the controller unit to give the alert message to the base station. The message is displayed on the LCD and also alert is generated through the buzzer. IV. TECHNOLOGY USED FOR THE SYSTEM A. Global Positioning System (GPS) It is a space based satellite navigation system. GPS gives timing and location information in any weather conditions. GPS works in all climate conditions. GPS devices are used in military, marine and consumer product applications. 1) GPS Accuracy The accuracy of the GPS depends on the type of receiver. Most hand-held GPS units have about meters accuracy.. B. GSM Module GSM Module is used for the message transmission. If the fisherman is about to cross the final boundary at that time GSM gets connected to the controller and sends an alert message to the fisherman and base station. C. Controller GPS is continuously connected to the controller unit. The controller receives the data from the GPS. The data contains latitude and longitude of current location of the vessel. We have already stored the boundary locations in the controller unit. When controller receives data from the GPS, controller starts comparing current location with the already stored locations. When the locations get matched then controller performs the respected operation such as it gives the instruction to the buzzer to alert the fisherman and also if fisherman neglect the alert and moves further then the controller starts comparing current location with already stored location and if the location gets matched then controller unit gives instruction to the LCD display an alert message to the All rights Reserved 785

7 V RESULT At location 2 At location 3 VI. CONCLUSION The boundary between two countries is not easily identifiable. Hence many fishermen get arrested and killed by the other country. Fisherman not having knowledge of the boundary, hence they accidently cross the boundary and they have to pay penalty or get arrested by the other government. But our system provides the alert in three levels. Hence fisherman can make a decision whether to move further or move back. It will save the lives of fishermen. If the fishermen neglect the alarm or alert message, and move further then motor of the fishermen gets turned off so that they cannot cross the boundary. VII. FUTURE SCOPE We can use the EEPROM to store the previous navigating positions up to 256 locations. We can use the password system to start the motor. Password provided by the base station.
