Abstract
Keeping firearms inside an arsenal with adequate safety is one of the prime concerns of the research community considering limitless damage in case of falling the firearms to the stain accused or rogue peoples in the society. In this regard, a remotely-operated, low-cost, and high-accuracy solution for maintaining safety in storing the firearms inside an arsenal is of utmost importance specially from the perspective of developing countries. Such a solution is yet to be proposed in the literature to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, in this study, we propose a new solution that can provide safety of firearms inside an arsenal in real time using low-power COTS sensor-based safety mechanism. Here, we propose judicious placing of RFID tags and RFID antennas, and develop a software module to retain the hardware related components inter-operable with each other. Besides, we develop a lock-and-key technique that exhibits a high standard of safety for the firearms inside the arsenal. Our solution also presents a time-attendance management system. Hardware part of our real implementation comprises a motor unit and a RFID reader, which is a low-frequency reader and connected to a host computer machine. All these components combined together provide several functionalities such as displaying ID, registering name, time of drawing firearms from the arsenal and so on. We present the implemented solution to real professional users. User evaluation of the proposed system confirms efficacy of our solution in real usage.
