AN ADVANCED TRAIN WRECK (CRASH) AVOIDANCE SYSTEM BASED ON WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORKS



project center in Tirunelveli 

A train wreck or train crash is a type of disaster involving one or more trains. Train wrecks often occur as a result of miscommunication, as when a moving train meets another train on the same track. This kind of collisions is the major reason for huge amount of human mortality. In this embedded world, an advanced & intelligent system is in the need to defend the human life from these disaster like train wreck. This project is proposed to provide a solution for the train wreck avoidance. The main function of this work is to identify and alerting the trains which are approaching on a same track. It is possible to identify the arrival of train with the help of MEMS sensors.  The MEMS signal can be utilized for the alerting system fixed on the train unit and the whole network is functionate under the knowledge of station unit. This project consists of three working module namely: Train unit, Track unit and Station unit. The track unit consists of MEMS sensor unit on different zone arrangements. The sensor signal can be transmitted to the station unit through zigbee protocol. Once the station unit receives the two zone sensor signals on a same track, it can automatically alter the signal as red and also it can communicate with the two trains through RF communication. The receiver at two trains is receiving the alert signal coming from the station unit and both can be immediately stopped by understanding the risk of train wreck. Thus the system is very cost effective and also it can perform precise operation for saving human life.
