A Model of Accident Avoiding System for Trains

Abstract

Abstract: Safety must be the top most priority in train running and it plays an important role in safe running of trains in our country. Already many systems are existed to avoid accidents, even though an attempt is made in this project work to study the subject of train accidents avoiding systems to enhance the technology further. The Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is the major subject to detect unsafe situations arising due to over speed and train collisions in station area. The advanced accident prevention methods must be incorporated those measures under which the trains will be in constant communication with the protection systems through electronic communication systems. Although, Indian Railways have safe running devices, we have made an effort to cover few more important features like, 1 – to detect the track break in running rail track, 2 – object detection in between the tracks with auto control, and 3 – auto stop when train detects Red signal present over the track side signal post. These are the three important parameters incorporated in our project work and for live demo, a mini model train will be constructed over which all required sensors and their control circuits will be installed to prove the theme practically.
