Abstract: Personal safety and emergency navigation are major concerns in remote and low-network environments. Existing safety systems mainly depend on smartphones, internet connectivity, and GSM communication, making them unreliable during emergencies. This survey paper reviews various IoT-based emergency navigation and personal safety systems using GPS, GSM, and LoRa communication technologies. The paper also proposes TRAX, a Smart Emergency Navigation and Tracking Device that integrates breadcrumb-based navigation, LoRa emergency communication, and multi-mode safety functionality into a portable embedded system. The proposed system aims to improve emergency communication, navigation support, and reliability in both urban and remote environments.

Keywords: IoT, GPS Navigation, LoRa, Emergency Alert System, Breadcrumb Navigation, Embedded Systems, Personal Safety
