Abstract

The increasing situations of harassment and violence on women leads to inquiries regarding their safety. Traditional methods of personal defense, such as pepper spray and mobile applications are not rapid responses in an emergency situation. This paper proposes a method using footwear as a self-defense system includes a non-lethal taser (electric shock), built-in GPS (global positioning system) and GSM (global system for mobile communications) technology allows real-time tracking of the users exact location. The taser may be activated by the user of the footwear but it also has a moisture sensor that deactivate the taser if moisture is detected in the air. Once the taser is turned off, the GPS and GSM modules transmit an emergency location alert to the wearer's emergency contacts. The smart footwear may be used on a regular basis designed to respond the situations rapidly (within seconds) and provide a cost-efficient, portable personal protection method.
