Abstract

Railway accidents are a common occurrence now-a-days. Recent survey shows that accidents mainly occur due to derailment, fire and negligence at level crossings. So in this paper we are proposing a system to overcome the accidents mainly due to above reasons. For detecting any damage in the track we are using IR sensors and flex sensor. Fire sensors are placed in each compartment. Action is taken as soon as flame is detected using buzzer and sprinkler. All this are embedded in a single system. For controlling of level crossing a separate microcontroller unit is used. IR sensors are used to detect the arrival and departure of train. IoT is used to connect the physical devices and exchange data.
