Abstract Every day thousands of children are reported missing. Of which, many are never found. According to National Human Rights
Commission on an average 44000 children are reported missing every year. Of these, as many as 11,000 remain untraced.The safety of children is the
major concern for every parent. This project deals with the development and implementation of an Android application that traces the location of a
child. It provides the parent with real time positioning of their child with finest accuracy. Application uses OpenGTS (Open Source GPS Tracking
System) which is an open source project designed specifically to provide web-based GPS tracking services. It takes data input from a GPS device and
performs evaluation and provides comprehensive reporting. The application is developed using Hibernate; it provides a framework for mapping java
classes to database tables. Hibernate makes work with relational databases easy, it helps our project to work independent of database used at backend.
Keywords- Component Android, GPS, Hibernate, OpenGTS

INTRODUCTION
The security of a child is very important for every parent. This
project provides parents the opportunity to trace location of their
children; Parents can log into their account from their mobile device
to actively track where their child is and also find the speed with
which the child is travelling. It can also be used to send a message
to parents if the speed of vehicle in which the child is travelling
violates a particular speed. Also if the child enters an area that is
unauthorized a notification is sent to the parent immediately.
Parents can also view the information related to their child and also
edit it if it is incorrect. This project provides very extensive and
beneficial features. It aims to provide ease to teachers by providing
them with facilities which reduces their work. It provides facilities
to teachers to send notifications and circulars to all parents rapidly
and free of cost. And also gives an opportunity to parents to
communicate with the teachers in an effective way. It is a must buy
product for every parent.

EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing systems involve GPS tracking to find location of the
vehicles. In real time, the location of vehicles can be traced using
Vehicle Tracking System. An electronic device is installed into a
vehicle, which collects the vehicle information and transfers it from
its current location to the field of operation. It gives the complete
information of the routes and drivers to the concerned owner which
helps him to choose the optimum solution. This information can also
be saved into the system repository which can be used for further
analysis. The most important component for this operation is GPS. It
provides the co-ordinates of the vehicle which helps to display
location of the vehicle. GPS has proved beneficial in areas such as
automobile, airline safety, agriculture and farming, law enforcement,
sports. GPS tracking systems do not provide exact location of the
device, our system will try to provide a solution to this problem as
we are using OpenGTS, and it provides the exact location by taking
multiple maps of the location and providing the user with the latest
information. OpenGTS is intended to provide a generic back-end
web-based service for querying and viewing GPS related data. Our
project is implemented using the concept of hibernate. It does the
mapping from Java classes to database and also provides data query
and retrieval facilities.
III.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
This project aims to provide security to children by showing their
location at a particular time. Parents whose numbers are registered
in the school database can use this application in their mobile
phones. This feature provides security to the child as the
authentication is done before the application starts running. The
application facilitates teachers to send necessary notifications and
circulars such as holiday, report day, meeting, etc. all free of cost.
The notifications are sent using GCM (Google Cloud Messaging).
GCM pushes messages to the target android device. Thus, the
application does not make a request for notifications every time,
they are automatically sent using GCM technology. It helps parents
to view his child profile and also edit it. The student information is
taken from the school database at the time of registration and stored

in local database of device (SQLite). When the student profile is
viewed the information along with the student photograph are
loaded. When student profile is edited, the changes are made to
local database as well as school database. It also allows a parent to
send a message to the teacher. The message is sent in offline mode,
so that teacher can reply to it as soon as possible. The architecture is
kept as generic and adaptable as possible. Global Positioning
System consists of GPS receivers. These receivers receive signals
from the satellites orbiting in space in 6 different planes 20
kilometres away from Earth. The GPS receiver installed in the
mobile handsets will receive radio signals from satellites and
compare with the local duplication of geo data to calculate its actual
location on Earth. To increase the accuracy, data received from
three satellites can perform the calculation of two- dimensional
location, including

the longitude and latitude. For three-dimensional location
information, consisting longitude, latitude and altitude, data from at
least 4 satellites are required. In our project, the GPS device
communicates with OpenGTS. Our project uses hibernate, if
changes are made to the underlying database schema, it can be
expensive to disseminate those changes to the rest of the
application. Hibernate is used to fill this gap, providing an easy-touse and powerful object relational persistence framework for Java
applications. The Figure given below describes the high level
architecture of hibernate, it shows how hibernate uses the database
and configuration data to provide persistence services to an
application.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
The GPS device can be used in a wide range of applications such as
Vehicle Tracking. It is used to track the location of a vehicle and
shows it on a digital map. This helps to reduce cost and time of
transportation and increases the performance of the vehicle. GPS is
composed of satellites and receivers, receivers receive signals from
satellites with the help of which they find their current location on
Earth [1]. GPS is used for real time tracking of an object, the GPS
data is collected and stored in huge GPS databases. This data can be
used for developing and testing GPS applications [2]. Hibernate
technology provides an efficient way to access huge databases and
also focuses on how to implement persistent features in objectoriented system through it. Hibernate provides a rich query
language to retrieve objects from the database. Hibernate is a
powerful, high-performance, feature-rich and very popular ORM
solution for Java. Hibernate is used to make applications
independent of databases used at back-end [3].

CONCLUSION
This project provides easy tracking and helps to provide some safety
to children. It is an efficient device that helps parents to
continuously track their childrens location. Such an application is
very beneficial both for parents and teachers to communicate with
each other in a short period. The application is generic and portable,
it can be used to track different things such as laptop, pets, vehicles,
etc. It improves safety and security, communication medium,
