ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM FOR RAILWAYS

In the recent time, we have seen a lot of railway accidents and yet Indian Railways have not implemented any effective Anti-Collision System which can avoid such type of accidents.

So, we come up with a project “Anti-Collision System (Railways)” which can avoid such type of railway accidents.

In this project, we have used Microcontroller, LCD panel, Wireless    TransReceiver Unit (Zigbee), MAX 232, different IC’s and power supply.

Microcontroller is the heart of our project, it acts as an interface among LCD, Motor, Max 232,Potentiometer,LED’s and Transreceiver (Zigbee).

  

The idea of antiocollision system for railways clicked to our mind,because we have seen a lot of railway accidents recently in the past,yet railways have not implemented any such system in their railway network.altough  konkan railway have patented a anticollison system and that is expected to come in picture in 2014 still that is specifically meant for deccan railways and doesn’t cater the need of whole Indian railway network.

17 rail accidents was reported in 2010 in which 5 alone takes place in UP due to dense fog condition,out of which in 19 July 2010 – Sainthia train collision occurred in Sainthia, West Bengal, India, when the Uttar Banga Express collided with the Vananchal Express. Casualties stand at 63 people dead and more than 165 people injured, with many still trapped in wreckage and 8 May 2010 – West Bengal, the Gyaneshwari Express train collision, a suspected Naxalite terrorist attack kills at least 170 people, was the disastrous one.

To prevent such rail accidents and to provide safety to the millions of passengers who suffer daily from trains we come up with the idea of anticollision system for railways, it not only warns driver before condition of collision but also automatically stop the train to prevent such collision.
