Design and Implementation of Low Cost Maritime Boundary Identification System Using Fiber Optic Technology
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Everywhere on this planet hair-thin optical fibers carry vast quantities of information from place to place. There are many desirable properties of optical fibers for carrying this information. They have enormous information-carrying capacity, low cost and possess immunity from many disturbances that can afflict electrical wires and wireless communication link. Optical fibers have become a widely used aid to navigation worldwide and its useful tool for map-making, land surveying, commerce, scientific uses, tracking, surveillance and hobbies such as geocaching and way marking. None of the present optical fibers systems satisfy the requirements for the safety of civilian navigation in the sea as the maritime boundary of a country cannot be marked. This paper deals on the versatility and the usefulness of optical fibers in the sea. The main objective of the paper is to help the fishermen not to navigate beyond other country’s border. If a fisherman navigates beyond the country’s border, an alarm is generated indicating that the fisherman has crossed the border. Additionally, a laser transmitter interface will send a message to base station located on the shore indicating that a vessel has crossed the border. Thus guards in the shore can assist and provide additional help to those fishermen if needed. Keeping in mind about lives of Indian fishermen, this device has been created to help them not to move beyond Indian. On the whole, it is an attempt to build a suitable device for the fishermen at a reasonably low cost.
