Implementing Mobile Tracking System on Disaster Notification

Abstract

With advances in location based services, tracking the changing position of devices is becoming a new challenge. Mobile devices are the most effective and convenient communication tools which are not restricted by time and place. In this paper, the main service task is the timely delivery of possibly disaster information to mobile devices which are in the imminent disaster area. The system finds whether a mobile is within a defined disaster area using its GPS coordinates. The system architecture is built for sending notification to mobile devices in disaster service area. This system also proposes an algorithm for client side which combines the time and distance-based locationupdate approaches. This proposed algorithm will aid to get last current location and reduce server update cost.
