Auto Railway Platform Control using sensors

Abstract

Now a days, Public safety plays a major role in humans life, it can achieve by developing technology through making everything automation. Smart Railway Platform (SRP) is an automation technique to minimize the accidents, which is occur due to more crowd in overhead bridges, elevators and others modes. The main reason for the accidents is poor construction quality, heavy crowd and climatic conditions. Now a day, people are violating the Railway rules by crossing the Railway tracks in a risky manner. It takes less time to cross the tracks, but it is more dangerous to our life. To convert this into a safe manner, we came up with an idea that is sliding platform, which is fixed under the main platform. The sliding platform is working with an IR Sensor, when it detects the train the sliding platform is moving with a motor, which is fixed under the main platform. The system is controlled by Arduino and motor is operated by a Relay Circuit Board. To prevent the failure the total system, it can be controlled by the station master. It is more helpful especially for disabled persons to cross the tracks of their own without the help of others. It may leads to have a new generation platform to our future.
