CHILD TRACKER

GROUP PROJECT Initial Concept Once it was decided that an alarm/tracker device would be designed, the next decision to be made was in what form this unit would take to best fit the brief criteria. Many ideas were discussed. The Wrist Band and Control Unit was one of the first ideas to be considered along with broaches, belts, lapel pins and shoes. The shoe idea came a close second to our final choice, but it was thought that the amount of wear and tear a shoe takes in its lifetime would be far too great for the survival of the precision electronics contained within. Another aspect of the shoe design concept which eventually ruled it out as a contender was the fact that children wear shoes out very quickly and also grow out of them at almost the same rate. We finally decided on a Wrist Band containing the relevant electronics to facilitate an alarm system and a GPS tracker. This would be combined with a hand held Control Unit which would not be dissimilar to a mobile phone.
