DESIGN OF SHIP ROUTE TRACKING AND ALERT SYSTEM BY USING SATELLITE PHONE

Abstract

The ships may sometimes cross their route beyond the limit without their knowledge. This causes a lot of problems.This
paper is developed for the ship users to find out their route in the sea area. The main modules are GPS, RF transducer, Microcontroller,
Satellite phone, Mapping system, ship engine, LCD display and Buzzer. When the boat reaches the particular area the RF signals are
received by the receiver and given to the microcontroller unit. The Microcontroller analyses the signal and calculates the location and
sends corresponding message to the LCD display. If it is ship cross its decided route microcontroller operates then displays an warning
zone then buzzer sound will gives alerts and ship engine will make 50% slower and if ships cross its restricted limit then it displays an
restricted zone then engine will gets in off automatically and working people may understand the situation and GPS information also
sends to the coastal authorities through mapping system. so, they identify the current situation in ship and they make call through satellite
phone to alert the ship controller such that (ship is in wrong route). ship controller will make a correct action to perform a ship in decided
route (normal zone). The Microcontroller program is written in Embedded C language and Microcontroller used in LPC 2148.
