The purpose behind developing the "Electronic Jacket using Arduino for a person working in extreme weather condition" is for the people who are living in extreme weather conditions. The climatic change that is hot and cold temperature conditions are dangerous to the health of those people. Excessive exposure of heat causes serious problem like heat stroke. At very cold temperature, the most serious problem is the risk of hypothermia or overcooling body. So, we have designed a jacket named as "Safety purpose jacket using Arduino" which gives better protection to the people who live in such tough weather conditions and the main objective behind developing this jacket is for safety of military people because they have a huge risk on their lives while working in such extreme weather conditions. The cold and hot climate conditions in the high north represents, Threat of safety and work performance of soldier. The jacket will provide better protection to them and it will help to reduce loss of human life. In addition to that if the person is not feeling well that person can press a switch so that the concerned person will get a message. By using this jacket, the user can control and monitor the internal temperature inside the jacket by using fan and heater mounted within jacket. It consists of temperature sensor to detect the temperature, panic switch, battery and GSM modules. All these devices are controlled by Arduino. This information of temperature sensor can be used in enhanced safety and as an improved tool to advice outdoor work control for soldier in climate conditions. So that the specially designed "Safety purpose Jacket using Arduino" will give better protection to the person who is working in extreme weather conditions.        

Objectives:

• Design an e-uniform for soldiers.
• GSM based sending alert SMS.
• Automatic temperature detection and controlling at inside the jacket.
• Per can send the alert SMS using panic button.
• To achieve this task using Arduino microcontroller.

       

The major building blocks of this project are:

1. Adapter power supply.
2. Arduino UNO Micro controller.
3. IR Senor.
4. Relay.
5. LCD display.

       

Software’s used:

• Arduino IDE for compiling and dumping code into Microcontroller
• Express SCH for Circuit design.
• Embedded C language.
