Hi,
I have actually posted a thread in The project forum but I found this forum which I think is more relevant to my major. If it's inappropriate to post 2 similar threads, the moderator is welcomed to delete this one =P
I will soon be a final year student(this July) of Electrical and Electronic engineering, majoring in Embedded System and Microcontrollers. I need to have a fyp title before my semester starts, and I need some help and opinion. I only have a vision/goal of what I would like to achieve, but I'm not sure how or what to do achieve that.
I would like to build a system or a device for women security. I have made some research and all that we have in the market nowadays are just pepper sprays, stun guns or some other similar device.
The problem about these devices are that, if it's readily available, it can become dangerous in the wrong hands, especially the stun gun. It's even illegal in some states/countries though I'm not sure about my owns'. While pepper spray don't do permanent damage, it's not easy to sprays them straight into the attacker's eyes under the circumstances, isn't it?
So I've been thinking, is it possible to create something more efficient for women safety? Another device that cause severe harm would be a no-no since it would again be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Maybe a system that we could collaborate with the police. Some defend layer women could wear which at the same time alert the police force on her location and something that would enable the law to track down the guilty. It might not 100% prevent the incident but at least, if every offender is tracked and thrown to jail, eventually, case will reduce, right?
I need opinions, is it realistic? or is it too far fetched and complicated? Can I have some advice on how to start this project? Else, is there any better fyp title i should do, and just put this idea behind?
