Abstract | Many people die or are lost every year during mass gatherings around the world hence making it very difficult for the local authorities to track them and identify them in case of accidents. This paper proposes a system for tracing of lost, injured and dead using network of Radio Frequency Identifiers (RFID) tags and mobile phones. With such a system, time, effort, and cost can be significantly minimized hence eliminating the psychological torture through which relatives of the lost passes though. The proposed system can also be used for crowd management in a real time. For outdoor tracking, where placing RFID readers is not practical, the paper proposes mobile-based peer to peer network for tracking pilgrims who don?t have access to the internet or don?t have GPS facility in their mobile phones. The paper also proposed a plan of testing the prototype in simulation. | ||||
