Real Time Based Navigation and Prevention System

Lakhs of people are availing Train transport services daily in India. Presently in Sub-Urban Train Services in Chennai, the passengers are able to get announced of the name of the arriving Stations, in advance. This service is being provided by using traditional Track Circuit, which updates train position on a map every time it crosses a station on its way. This system does not provide Real Time tracking, as the stations are at least 1 Km apart in urban areas and 10 to 20 Km in other areas. Most of the Train accidents such as collision with stationed racks, mishaps at unmanned level crossings are due to human errors, over-speeding problems, signaling problems etc. , Terrorists- attack, fire break-out in one bogie etc. , are unnoticed by the passengers in the other bogies as well as Drivers or Guard of the same train, since there is no intra-train communication methodology adopted so far. In order to solve these problems we propose the Real Time Based Navigation and Prevention System. This system will run the Train autonomously without any human operators. The system can start the train, run at a predetermined speed and it can stop at the scheduled station automatically.
