DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ANTI BAG SNATCHING
ALARM
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In recent days rate of theft snatching is very high all through the world and the situation
are even worse in developing country. Therefore, protection of purses with an
intelligent, reliable, effective and economical system is very important. The existing
technologies for purses and handbag security has number of limitations including high
false alarm rate, easy deactivation and high cost. In this project an Anti purse snatching
security system will be design utilizing vibration sensor system which will cause an
alarm to be actuated
BACKGROUND OF STUDY
The civilization and peace of a nation is highly influenced by the availability of security
and emergency alert system. (Hossain, 2009) Ghana as a developing country in term of
security has for some years now being straggling to limit the level of thief’s snatching
people’s purse, bag and suitcase The society experience frequent snatching which has
really affects a lot of people psychological and emotional since document and other
important assets in the purses or suitcase snatch my never be get back. (masum, 1993)
History according to (Appiah, 2013) makes us aware that a student is cape coast technical
university then cape coast polytechnic have to stop schooling because someone snatch
her purse which contains her school fees and other important things right in front of
school’s administration block and rushed to a nearby bush. Because the lady do not have
anything that can give alert to were the people who snatch the purse is hiding in the bush,
they cloud not track the person, and also this act of snatching has caused a number of
challenges for Cape Coast Technical University. For instant, students find it difficult to
learn in the evening on campus because they are afraid there purse and suitcase with
contains their phones and laptops my be snatch when going or coming from study since
they do not have any alarm in the purse which cloud allow the security officer at post to
follow the snatchers
Over the years, management of the institution together with Student Representative
Council (SRC) has tried solving this problem by providing more security personal to curb
this problems but still the situation remained the same.
Therefore in other to curb this problem, we some student of the Electrical and Electronics
Engineering Department, especially the 2015/2016 batch intend to design and construct
an anti purse snatch alarm that will help security offices to do their work and also to help
the students to live in peace of mind to study. This anti purse snatch alarm is going to be
based on the theory that a sudden pull or jerking force exerted by the purse handle will
cause the alarm to be actuated.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
The continuous increase in stealing and snatching of purse, bag and suitcase in the
society has called for the consideration for ways to eliminate snatching .Cape Coast
Technical University is not exempted from this act. Because of this challenges anti bag
or purse snatching alarm will help security personal to track snatchers. This research
therefore; is to design and construct in anti purse snatching alarm for students in Cape
Coast Technical University to reduced the risk of snatching within and outside the
school
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES
The aim of this project is to design and construct anti-purse snatch alarm that will use
sudden pull or jerking force exerted by the purse handle to cause the alarm to be actuated.
The objectives are;
1.
To design and construct anti bag snatching alarm for getting rid of snatching and
captured the snatchers.
2.
To provide a thief alarm device that practically eliminates accidental triggering
thereof.
3.
To design and construct affordable anti bag or purse snatching alarm for cape
coast technical university student body.
4.
To study and analyze the different types of anti bag snatching alarm and construct
durable, good efficiency and robust type to meet students need.
SIGNIFICANT OF STUDY
The significant of study is to be able to design and construct anti bag snatching alarm
of good efficiency and affordable price for purses, bags and suitcase to help portable
properties for student’s in cape coast technical university and it environment.
SCOPE
The scope of the project is the ability to do or achieve the project. The scope also include
the step, which intended in executing the project. These steps are:1.
I make the problem clear
2.
I think up ideas to the problem
3.
I develop solutions to the problem
4.
I make or model the solution
5.
I see if the solution will solve the problem
