INTELLIGENT SYSTEM FOR TRAIN ENGINES TO AVOID ACCIDENTS
Abstract
Now-a-days public is facing many threats from the railway department by which they are hesitating to
plan a train journey. Railway accidents may occur due to various reasons like an obstacle on the railway track or
near the railway gate, fire inside the train and so on. Though the railway department is trying to take actions to
reduce such informal things but couldn’t see the face of success completely. This project has designed a system
which will help the railway department by overcoming accidents. This project is introduced to add automation in
railway transportation. Here obstacle sensor is used to monitor the track and sense any obstacle, if sensed in short
distance which will give horn i.e. buzzer and train stops. Fire sensor is used to detect fire which will buzzer to alert
passengers when fire is detected. Here Arduino UNO microcontroller is employed for the functioning of the system.
