ABSTRACT

Design of Low Cost Android Application for Detecting Maritime

Boundaries and Country Boundaries is an android application developed for
fishermans. The fisher mans who travelling in sea has so many problems like
health problems, location problems, robbery problems etc. There may be a lot of
chance to cross the boundary without their knowledge. This application helps to
solve this boundary crossing problems. This consists of two applications called
server and client. Fisher man who travelling along the sea has to load client
application in their smart phones. Once they ON the GPS in their smart phone, this
application start working. First, this application tries to find the location where the
fisher man currently sails by determining latitude and longitude with time interval.
The boundaries of the locations are loaded in the system. If the fisherman reaches
the boundary, alarm signal is given to the clients to alert and save them from
critical situations. Suppose they cross the boundary, the applications automatically
send the notification to the server. That helps the server to take precautionary
actions.
