Abstract
In INDIA railways is one of the important means of transport. Driver of the train has to look out to get the status of the signal, if he fails to see the signal major mishaps could take place. There are different systems in use today including AWS (auxilliary warning system), ACD (automatic collision detection). AWS system is in use by western railway while ACD is used by Konkan railway.AWS system has a drawback of theft of trackside equipment while ACD system is based on GPS system where satellite is US owned. Proposed system focusses on automation of train controlling to avoid accidents. Designed system involves transfer of the status of signal directly to the engine which will control speed of the train as per the status of the signal. System has been designed to provide safe travelling especially during bad weather. System is based on wireless protocol ‘Zigbee’. Low power consumption, low latency time of 30 ms and excellent security features as Zigbee uses 128AES, use of DSSS modulation technique in Zigbee makes this system reliable and safe. System is operating within a range of 120m
