Railway Traffic Monitoring and Accident Prevention system using Wireless Sensor Network
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject Summary: The expanded development in the railroad area has brought about an expansion in the train activity thickness over the world. This has brought about the expansion in the quantity of mischances including trains. In this paper, the proposed framework incorporates a few elements which forestall train mishaps. It incorporates flame recognition, water level identification, Railway track split discovery, This framework makes utilization of IR sensors, fire sensor, WSN and other inserted frameworks Rail mischances have been expanded because of the surge streaming over the Railway tracks. We are proposing a surge identification framework to overcome such mischances. Here, at whatever point we distinguish that there is a flood over tracks, we will send a sign to the train through WSN which will stop the train furthermore send messages to higher powers of south focal railroad.
Human negligence and human error have become the primary cause for train accidents in India. A train accident also occurs due to natural crises. Currently major train accident occurs in Madhya Pradesh harda in 6 august 2015. Second train accident occurs in Mumbai local train overshoots platform at churchgate in 28 June 2015. First train accident occurred due to natural crises& human negligence. Second train accident occurred due to human error. To overcome all these limitation we develop new system such as „„Railway Track Monitoring and Accident Avoidance Using wireless Sensor Network (WSN).?? An implanted framework can be characterized as a registering gadget that makes a particular centered showing with regards to. Apparatuses, for example, the aeration and cooling system, VCD player, DVD player, printer, fax machine, cellular telephone and so on are cases of installed systems. Each of these apparatuses will have a processor and uncommon equipment to inserted frameworks do a certain errand, they can't be customized to do diverse things. Installed frameworks have exceptionally restricted assets, especially the memory . Embedded systems are constrained for power . As many embedded systems operate through battery, the power consumption has to be very low. Some embedded systems have to operate in extreme environmental conditions such as very high temperatures and humidity.
- This project issues of enormous derailment leading to loss of life and property is given attention gives through WSN.
- To detect the cracks and irregularities in railway track using sensors and Arduino.
- The main purpose behind the implementation of the Accident prevention is to minimize the train accident.
- It is based on WSN (wireless Sensor Network).
- The aim of this study is to design “Advance Railway Accident prevention system using WSN “ in order to prevent train accident.
- In order to complete this work using WSN following objectives of the study.
- .To survey Karachi circular railway and analyze the causes of railway accident.
- To identify the Karachi circular railway track point and analyze the railway line infrastructure.
- To Monitoring and controlling.
- Display
- Railway Traffic and Normal Traffic accident precaution and Railway Gate.
- The whole system is consisting of microcontroller, sensors, display. In this system we are using GSM technology to send the information to operator. The sensors are connecting to the microcontroller and it will operate the appropriate operation and send to the output device. The sensors consist of fire sensor, visibility detection sensor, heavy rain fall detection sensors, and movement detection sensors[8]. In this the fire sensor is basically temperature sensor which can sense the temperature of the engine and when the temperature is over the particular range which is set by us then the sensor will sense this temperature and send the message to controller.
The proposed system is an enhanced technique for monitoring the object which uses Arduino microcontroller, IR sensor, and radar module. The radar will get the distance from the object and IR sensor will ensure to avoid the accidents that may occur by the clash between the train and objects. IR sensors work by emitting sound waves at a frequency too high for humans to hear. They then wait for the sound to be reflected back, calculating distance based on the time required. This is similar to how radar measures the time it takes a radio wave to return after hitting an object.. Heavy rain fall detection sensor is basically used at the station. The SMS is send to the station control room and railway driver when rain fall is excide or over the safety level which is predefined .the rail fall is detected by the device named level sensor or heavy rain fall detection sensor. This sensor senses the level of water at station and immediately inform to station master and railway driver. Railway track system this is another safety purpose system which is mainly used to control the railway from distract. This sensors is basically sense the track is correctly or not if the track is cut anywhere then it will and send the info to the railway driver. With used of this we can reduce accident which can happen because of track cut. Moment detection sensor also plays an important role. If any obstacle is present on the range of this sensor so it will sense that obstacle and it will send the message to railway driver.
