Arduino and SMS gateway-based for ships emergency information system

One of the factors hampering aid to ship accidents is the assistance that comes does not match the type of accident on the ship. No navigation device that is able to identify the type and position of the accident is the cause of inappropriateness in providing emergency assistance. The purpose of this study is to develop a device that could provide information on the type of emergency and the latitude and longitude positions during an emergency. This emergency information system uses GPS devices Neo 6MV2 to determine the coordinates of the accident and SIM900A. To send the type of emergency identified through four (4) push buttons. Red push button for fire, yellow for collision, green for leakage and flooding, and blue for ship grounding. The device is equipped with LED indicator according to the color push button to indicate the type of emergency on the ship. The results of reading the push button will be processed using the Arduino Mega. Latitude and longitude coordinates are displayed on the LCD. As an indicator of sending the ship's emergency information message, the buzzer is used and the information delivery time is 5:32 seconds on average.
