Railway Accident Monitoring

Abstract

Rail accidents are one of the major issues till the present day. Despite of safety measures, every year at least one major accident is recorded. The aim of this paper is to present a handy module consisting of sensors and microsystems which are used to detect faults which cause accidents. The causes of accidents are categorized into different modules which include anti-collision, track detection, wheel balance, level crossing, and tunnel accidents. IR sensor, Piezo sensor, reed sensor are used to detect faults.LCD(Liquid crystal display), Motor, Led?s and Buzzer are output devices which continuously inform the status and occurrence of fault.
