A Wearable Real-Time Location System (RTLS) Device for Emergency Response and Personal Protection

Some Universities in developing countries often face challenges in ensuring safety and security on their campuses due to the evolving nature of threats and the need for quick, effective responses. In these settings, traditional security measures often fall short in providing real-time insights into the location of individuals during emergencies or suspicious incidents. This is due to the uncharted nature of some campuses and outright lack of infrastructure. To address this gap, this paper proposes the implementation of a Real-Time Location System (RTLS) tailored specifically for university environments. The RTLS utilizes a combination of technologies such as GPS and Wi-Fi, to accurately track the real-time location of students and across the campus. By integrating these technologies into a unified platform, the system provides continuous monitoring and instant alerts to security personnel in the event of emergencies, enabling them to respond promptly and effectively.
