A Review on Different Methods of Smart Train Positioning System

Smart train positioning systems proposes a novel positioning system based on different techniques that have proved useful from other. GPS is one of the technologies that are used in a huge number of applications today. One of the applications is tracking the train�s position and its status. This positioning system can inform you the exact train�s location coordinate, its arrival and departure time, and that information can be observed from any other remote location. It is easy to view the train�s location on Google maps. This system employs GPS and GSM technologies. The paper involves the hardware part which consists of GPS module and GSM modem, Atmel 89C52 microcontroller, 16x2 LCD and software part is used for interfacing all the required modules. Main purpose is to design a system that can be easily installed and to provide platform for further enhancement.
