Abstract


This proposes system is an autonomous train and it eliminates the need of any driver. Thus any human error is ruled out. In this project ATMEGA16 has been used as CPU. Whenever the train arrives at the station it stops automatically, as sense by an IR sensor. Then the gate opens automatically thus the travellers can go inside the train. It is equipped with a passenger counting section, which count the number of passengers leaving and entering the train. The additional feature has been added in this project electronically and mechanically as well, so to achieve high safety, quick delivery without any traffic congestions. The train runs between two predefined stations without having any driver inside in it. The most significance attributes of this prototype is it safety system. This advance Mechanized Metro Train perform automatic open and closing of door in each station and collision avoidance whenever the two train lies on the same track. The train is highly sensitive to any hurdle that comes into the track. The train will gradually stop and the information is send to the next station and also to central hub using IR sensor. In case of undergoing metro transportation we use LIFI communication to pass the message to next station when any obstacle or crack is detected on track to prevent from being happening of any casualties, count of the passenger inside the compartment will be monitored accordingly door locking system will work, RFID card use for ticketing as prepared  metro card. Here we are also using renewable source such as solar and we use piezoelectric source alternatively to produce electricity which can be utilized efficiently in metro. We can implement metal detector or bomb detector features in metros door itself which produce more security. LCD’S are used for corresponding display.
