GPS System Based Low Cost Maritime Boundary Identification Device

Abstract

The aim is to build a friendly environment for the Indian fishermen preventing them from facing many hardships. This can be done using GPS(Global Positioning System) that provides navigation, positioning and other time details in all the weather conditions for everyone and everywhere.GPS system being used for map-making, commerce, surveillance. But this paper helps in preventing the violence created between India-Sri Lanka caused for crossing the border IMBL(Indian Maritime Boundary Line) which is unintentional. The important purpose of this paper is to alert the fishermen before crossing the country’s border. If they travelled beyond the border an alert message will be transmitted or sent to the base station by using an X-bee transmitter. This system is developed to help the lives of the fishermen and not to move beyond Indian Boundaries. On the whole it is a plan of creating a suitable device for civilian navigation at low cost.
