Abstract

Now a day, terrorism and suicide bombers are the major threats faced by mankind. This may lead to loss of lives, injuries as well as damages to the properties. The reason behind such kinds of unlawful activities is that these groups of terrorists already know the weakness in the security system and thus they easily bypass the security system. Besides, many countries are still using traditional security system which is bulkier. In this paper, we are proposing a portable, highly suitable and effective solution to tackle this problem. We have proposed a concept called mobile phone explosive detection system in which chemical vapor sensor is used in order to detect the explosive vapors from the surroundings and also mobile phone explosive vapor detection algorithm to detect the presence of explosive vapors. The aim is to create a system which can be used by a common person easily and also helps in maintaining peace in the country. The finest part of the system is that it does not require extra power supply for the system, as it uses the mobile battery power. This concept may help in isolating the suicides bombers and thus plays a very crucial and important role in forensic investigation by detecting the explosive vapors.
