Abstract

The tracking system is used to track moving individuals and provide an instant timeline of position information for tracking analysis. People Tracking System in the crowd for Smart Cities is a mobile application that allows parents to monitor the location of their children in a crowded environment. Besides children, there are also elderly and disabled people, so the person responsible for them can use this application to track their location. The parents have the application in which they can track the location and on the other hand, the child or the old person or the disabled person has a device that contains the Global Positioning System chip. The main objective of this study is to design an application with the system that will help the parents to track their children to reduce the cases where the children or the other mentioned categories of people might get lost. The current solution to this problem is that the children first have a wearable wrist where they imprint the phone number of their parents so that if the child is lost, there is an office where the child is taken and taken care of until they contact the parents to come and pick up the child. The problem with the current way that it takes time and there is a risk that child will be lost or kidnapped before ever reaching for any help, so the new way is better to also prevent them from going far away or being lost for hours, so the recovery here will be quick unlike the regularly used way today. This goal will be achieved by systematic objectives, starting from studying the existing systems, planning, and analysing, designing, and implementing, and finally testing the proposed system.
