Radio Frequency Based Navigation and Management System for KUMBH

In country like India, there are lots of pilgrims. These pilgrims gather at pilgrimage to celebrate their festival and sometime form a huge crowd. KUMBH is one of India´s very largest fair event at which about 3 to 4 millions of pilgrims gather to worship their god at a time. This fair forms a huge crowd at some places like Nasik, Allahabad (Prayag), Haridwar and Ujjain. In this type of crowd, pilgrim may miss their relatives and friends. After missing it will be more complicated to find their location within the KUMBH pilgrimage premises. If Pilgrims sometimes needs emergency services like medical service then it requires some extra time to manually inform about an emergency to the authority. Pilgrims are from different regions of the country, so they require the proper information and location of the temples, rivers, hotels, hospitals, etc. Which are sometime unknown to them. Solution to these types of problem can be achieved by using technical approach. We are using passive RFID embedded wrist band to track the pilgrim within the KUMBH. Keeping the track of each pilgrim can be useful for locating the pilgrim. Pilgrim can inform about the emergency immediately using the radio frequency band available on his/her hand. Important places can be located using the application in the smart-phone like android attached with OSM (Open Street Map).
