automatic railway gate control system using arduinoantivirusspam
The objective of this project is to manage the control system of railway gate using the arduino. When train arrives at the sensing point alarm is triggered at the railway crossing point so that the people get intimation that gate is going to be closed. Then the control system activates and closes the gate on either side of the track once the train crosses the other end control system automatically lifts the gate.
Automatic Train Collision and Accidence Avoidance systemPradeepRaj
This is an idea presentation, which can be implemented in near future to drastically reduce the rate of train accidents.
It is based on the concept of Piezoelectric sensor, Ultrasonic sensor and Pattern recognition.
The focus of the Indian Railways is to increase capacity utilization of existing assets including rolling stock, track infrastructure, traction power and signalling & telecommunications. By running more high speed trains on the existing infrastructure, passengers and freight carrying capacity as well as revenue and profitability can be increased. In order to ensure safety over high speed and high density rail networks of Indian Railways it is the need of the hour to implement Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system such as Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS). Indian Railways have taken up indigenous development of Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) through Research Designs & Standards Organization (RDSO) to prevent dangerous train collisions caused due to human errors or limitations and equipment failures by providing additional layer of enhanced safety in the operations.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL CONTROL USING IR SENSORSKunal Kabra
The main objective of this project is to design an intelligent auto traffic signal control system.
Traffic congestion is one of the major issues to be considered. Generally Vehicular traffic
Intersects at the junctions of the road and are controlled by the traffic signals .Traffic signals
Need a good coordination and control to ensure the smooth and safe flow of the vehicular traffic.
During the rush hours, the traffic on the roads is at its peak. Also, there is a possibility for the
Emergency vehicles to stuck in the traffic jam. Therefore; there is a need for the dynamic control
of the traffic during rush hours. Hence I propose a smart traffic signal controller .The proposed
System tries to minimize the possibilities of traffic jams, caused by the traffic lights, to some
Extent by clearing the road with higher density of vehicles and also provides the clearance for the Emergency vehicle if any. The system is based on the AVR micro controller and IR sensors

Investigation of wireless magnetometer in sensing magnetic field changes at d...journalBEEI
The embedment of induction loop underground for traffic volume monitoring caused damaging effects to the road and reduced road surface aesthetics. A wireless magnetometer implanted underground in a small uniform area was developed to detect three-axis magnetic flux changes due to the perturbation of vehicle passing over the sensor. In this project, a wireless magnetometer sensor system operating at a radio frequency of 2.4 GHz for detecting and transmitting Z-field data has been developed to investigate the patterns of magnetic field associated with the car directions and speed. This is the first report in revealing the responses of the sensor to different car speed and sensing directions. Field tests were conducted by car passes over in a direction in-line or countering the X and Y axes of the magnetometer. The results showed that the strong magnetic field density as low as -100 to -230 μT could be generated when a car passed over the sensor in a direction countering X and Y axes. The speed detection limit of the sensor is < 60 kmph. The X, Y and Z flux patterns obtained is import in designing an algorithm for accurate detection and counting of vehicles.
Intelligent Collision avoidance and monitoring system for railway using wirel...Editor IJMTER
In the current railway systems, it is becoming ever more necessary to have safety
elements in order to avoid accidents. One of the important causes that can provoke serious accidents
is the existence of obstacles on the tracks, either fixed or mobile. This project deals about one of the
efficient methods to avoid train collision and obstacle detection. A GPS system is being used to
pinpoint the location of faults on tracks. The project presents a solution, to provide an intelligent
train tracking and management system to improve the existing railway transport service. The solution
is based on powerful combination of mobile computing, Global System for Mobile Communication
(GSM), Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies and software. The inbuilt GPS module
identifies the train location with a highest accuracy and transfers the information to the central
system. The availability of the information allows the train Controller to take accurate decisions as
for the train location. Positioning data along with train speed helps the central system to identify the
possible safety issues and react to them effectively using the communication methods provided by
the system.

Abstract
The manual process of filling and submission of the Outdoor Duty Forms is very common today. Also there are many alternatives available for automated process of remote attendance and data analysis. But there is no solution yet that provides the integrated solution for automation of all these process. We therefore came with the concept of an application that provides these services. This application is about automated process of Outdoor duty forms, remote attendance, submission of sales and marketing data and its analysis. The application will be designed for corporate usage. A database system will be maintained regarding the submission of data and this data will be used for further analysis and intelligent results.

Collision Avoidance of Trains Using Arm7IJERA Editor
Railways are the popular mode of Transport in almost all major cities of the World. Railways are the most
widely used and comfortable modes of transportation system. The major cause for railway accidents is collision
of trains on the same track. The main aim of this anti collision system is to identify collision points and to report
these error cases to main control room nearer to the station as well as grid control station. Majority of accidents
occurred due to improper communication among the network between drivers and control room, due to wrong
signaling, worst atmospheric condition, immediate change of route. The train driver doesn’t get proper
information in time leading to hazardous situations. So this system by using zigbee protocol provides
communication in between trains, which provide information or track id of one train to another train to avoid
collision.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

from the track.
It will also increase the security for the both rails and
passengers from terrorism, crime.
22. Conclusion:
This project is a cost effective.
Monitoring and maintenance by human is very difficult and
takes more time.
Initially IR sensor used but, it is less efficiency after that uv-
sensors are used for slab on the track only not for the crack
detection.
To avoid delays, our proposed system will immediately
notifies and informs the current train comes on the track
through wireless medium.
