Security system to adopt in railway tracks for additional safety

Mrs. W. Nancy, R. Ananthi Reeta

Abstract :

 The use of RF has proved to be very beneficial in developing collision avoidance system. In this paper security system to adopt in railway tracks for additional safety is proposed. Objectives of the system are to perceive dangerous situation in railway tracks, such as suicide commitment attempts, crossing of humans/animals/vehicles detecting bombs placed by terrorists and sending information to the train driver about the situation. The system consists of ultrasonic sensors, ARDUINO Nano, Relay circuit, Buzzer and LCD display. Ultrasonic sensor is interfaced with ARDUINO Nano to detect the presence of human beings/animals/vehicles and to measure the track distance. The detected information is send to the train driver by indication of Buzzer sound and by the message displayed in LCD display. In the present day we are using the measurement of track distance by using high cost LVDT with less accuracy, but we use the less cost ultrasonic sensor for above process with high accuracy. The importance of this project is applicable both day and night time detection purpose. The whole system is presented combining hardware and software. This system has the potential to detect the obstacle and stop the collision.
