Abstract:
Now-a-days
public is facing many threats from the railway department by which they
are hesitating to plan a train journey. The main reason for this is due
to the accidents that occur due to negligence of train drivers. Though
the railway department is trying to take actions to reduce such informal
things but couldn’t see the face of success. To help out the department
we have designed our system.
This project is introduced to monitor driver’s condition and to
alert him. The main functionality of this system is to monitor the
driver’s action for sometime and if he fails to do any defined action
within a specific period, the train will be stopped immediately. Here
the driver’s actions can be defined as blowing the horn or applying
brake or accelerating the train etc.
If the driver fails to do any of
the above actions for every 2 minutes, our system gives a siren sound
which the driver should switch off with in the defined time, if failed
the train will stop immediately.
This system also checks for the stop signal or red light signal
irrespective of driver’s action and status and stops the train. In this
way by monitoring the common parameters continuously, we have every
chance to reduce accidents. For demonstration, we will be providing
switches for each parameter so that we can simulate and show the result
of our system effectively. Thus we can say that this system proves to be
a very useful tool for the railways department to reduce the accidents
rate.
