ISSN:2320-0790Abstract: The life of fishermen has become very critical in crossing the limitation of borders. This was a problem faced by our state for many years. Though we tried to do our level best, in most of the time we fail to save their lives. At present, there are few existing systems which help to identify the current position of the boats and ships using GPS and view them in an electronic map. The accurate position information becomes even more critical as the vessel departs from or arrives in the port. The drawbacks of the current system are lack of awareness, less security, loss of many lives. The proposed system is used to detect the maritime boundary of the country where long time dispute persists between Sri Lanka and India. This mainly happens when fishermen cross the maritime border of neighboring country as he is not aware of the limits in sea. This system uses a GPS receiver which receives signals from the satellite and gives the current position of the vessel. It also provides an indication to both fisherman and to coastal guard. Thereby it saves the lives of the fishermen.

Our proposed idea helps in locating the Fishing boat using GPS system. This information is transmitted using wireless mode to the control system. Then by detecting the latitude and longitudinal location of the Fishing boat, the control system detects the present area of the Fishing boat and send command signal to the Fishing boat using wireless mode to guide the vehicle if the boat is out from the border. The GPS system is the latest technology which helps us in identifying the Fishing boat either inside or outside the border. The ZIGBEE technology also helps us to communicate from both the ends i.e., the control system and Fishing boat. Hence with the both improved technologies, it can be saved the human life from danger. GPS is used in this system to monitor the boat position anywhere in the sea. In other words, the GPS unit simply measures the travel time of the signals transmitted from the satellites, then multiplies them by the speed of light to determine exactly how far the unit is from every satellite its sampling. GPS receiver receives the boat position with the help of latitude and longitude from satellite through GPS antenna and sends the information to the microcontroller. Microcontroller displays the latitude and longitude on the LCD display. Then information signal is transmitted through ZIGBEE. Similarly the wind speed also calculated using anemometer. All the information related to the process is sent to the Microcontroller unit and the process takes place. Microcontroller is pre-programmed in such a way to undergo the process. Similarly tsunami alert is sent to the boat from the controller section through the ZIGBEE transmitter.Border Alert System for Boats Using Zigbee by Suresh.M1 , Gandhiraj.S2 , Saranya.T3 , Thenmozhi.S4 , Divya.M.M5 PG scholars, Department of ECE, Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Erode, Tamilnadu, India1, 2, 4, 5 Assistant Professor, Department of ECE, Bannari Amman Institute of Technology, Erode, Tamilnadu, India3, International Journal of Innovative Research in Computer and Communication Engineering, Vol.2, Special Issue 1, March 2014BSTRACT The boaters may sometimes cross their area limit without their knowledge. This causes a lot of problems. They may be caught by the other peoples. This project is developed for the boat users to find out their border in the sea area. The main modules in this project are RF transducer, microcontroller unit and LCD display. The Zigbee transmitter is connected at the border area. It transmits RF signals within the particular limit. The Zigbee receiver with the micro controller unit is connected at the boat. When the boat reaches the particular area, the RF signals are received by the receiver and given to the micro controller unit. The micro controller analyses the signal and calculates the distance and sends corresponding message to the LCD display. If it crosses the limit, the micro controller operates the warning buzzer and it switches off the running motor of the boat. Thus the boat may be automatically off and the boater may easily understand the situation. This information is conveyed to the coastal authorities using GSM and they will track the boat using GPS system. The micro controller program is written in embedded c language and the microcontroller used is AT89C51.
