In just 3 days, hundreds of children vanished into the crowd density. Standard GPS signals were blocked by the sheer mass of human bodies.
We mapped the chaos. "Transit Interception Centers" and "Rail Hubs" were identified as the primary leak points. Passive tracking was the only viable defense.
A child doesn't know they are lost until it is too late. A parent freezes in panic. The system must bridge this gap autonomously.
ESP32 Architecture. No screen to break. No buttons to press. A bio-mimetic beacon woven into clothing that pings local mesh networks instantly.
Integration of BLE Mesh, CCTV Triangulation, and Haptic Feedback. Data is encrypted locally and purged every hour.
Designed the system logic, led the hardware integration, and
simulated the threats.
Tiny Traces was not just a concept. It was validated by industry experts for its potential to save lives in high-density Indian infrastructure.
