Smart Jacket, Water Safety, Inflating Unit, GPS Security System

Our aim is to create a SAFETY JACKET during accident in water. This jacket consist of an inflation unit which inflates when there occurs an accident in water which helps the user to float above water. The working mechanism is that, at the time when accident occur the salt used here get dissolved in water and make the co2 cylinder valve open. Then the gas get filled the inflating unit and thus the floating occurs. The wire connected adjacent to the jacket will release automatically its connection when the jacket get expand. The GPS and GSM module used here get activated and the location message will be reaching the emergency department. By this the rescue system is done more efficiently. Recent day’s people are using life jacket for water safety and this system does not consist of any GPS and GSM module. Our proposed system will efficiently help the emergency department in saving life. The main disadvantages of the recent life jacket is Bulky and uncomfortable also it does not consist of accruing location of the user for more efficient rescue methods. The safety jacket proposed here is compact in size and sent the location of the person who met with accident to emergency department and the life is saved without any fail.
