Introduction
The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of applying wireless sensor

network technology in tracking pilgrims (lost, dead, or injured), medical emergencies, guiding lost pilgrims to their respective camps, and congestion management in large crowd.

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consists of spatially

distributed autonomous sensors to monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as temperature, sound, vibration, pressure, motion or pollutants and to cooperatively pass their data through the network to a main location. thousands, where each node is connected to one (or sometimes several) sensors. Each such sensor network node has typically several parts: a radio transceiver with an internal antenna or connection to an external antenna, a microcontroller, an electronic circuit for interfacing with the sensors and an energy source.

The WSN is built of "nodes" from a few to several hundreds or even

consists of a UHF high gain antenna, RF transceiver,

microcontroller, battery and Ethernet for interfacing to the server via internet (TCP/IP connection). No data encryption is required. Subsequent protocol

Node Configuration in the WSN


All nodes in the fixed WSN are made identical. Nodes are classified as either sensing only, sensing and routing, or

gateways.

CONCLUSION
The design and implementation of a system for tracking and

monitoring pilgrims during Festival season in the Holy area of Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh). The WSN communicates periodically location information of pilgrims to a central server. The communication between mobile units and the WSN relies on the IEEE802.15.4/Zigbee protocol. The design provides an option (such as an alarm button on the mobile unit) for pilgrims to request help in case of emergency. System is robust and reliable even in dense urban areas.
