Autonomous Metro - A Step Towards Automation

India's transport sector is large and diverse. However, this sector is still not able to match the pace of the rising demands. Significant improvements in this sector are in progress and development phases to modernise and meet the rising demands. With the introduction of metros nowadays, modern technologies and improved transport are changing the existing transportation scenario. However, there is a huge scope for improvement in existing metro operations in terms of automation. The existing metro systems are manually operated and, in a way, prone to human errors or faults, causing accidents and are inefficient in terms of accuracy, fuel consumption, comfort, safety and security. The proposed system aims to develop a prototype and eliminate the need for drivers by making it autonomous. Various experiments on the prototype are conducted to ensure all the objectives of the proposed system are met and results of the same are discussed in the paper in brief.
