12. AUTOMATIC RAILWAY SECURITY CONTROL SYSTEM

Today’s trains have permeated the other means of transportation as the prime mode between several countri es. However, rail road related ac cidents are also more perilous in damage and loss of lives. Therefore, in common railway security systems, more strivings are required for strengthening the safety. Furthermore, manually watching the tracks is unreliable and impractical. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to establish an automated railway security prototype model using advanced electronic circuits, a communication module, and the proposed mobile interfaces in order to prevent collision s and enable better communication between the train, central control headquarters, and passengers. It is implemented on an integrated Arduino Uno platform to introduce automatic control crossing gates, switching train tracks and detecting line cracks with the aid of electronic sensors like ir sharp sensor, ultrasonic sensor, and gyroscopes. Moreover, by employing the web camera, the operator of the control room could get real status updating and have a continuous behavior monitoring during the train journey. Thus, the railway gate could be highly controlled so the road traffic will be wholly prophesied. Especially on dangerous trips, the train is supported by the developed dummy car which can detect and monitor any causes of risks on the railway lines and send that fault to the concerned authority. To offer different services for drivers and passengers, the proposed android applications are responsible for obtaining the sensed data through the bluetooth module and broadcasting urgent data to the control room .
