Abstracts: This project is designed to demonstrate the technology used in metro train movement which are used in most of the developed countries. It equipped with a PIC controller as CPU which enables the automatic running from one station to another. It is an autonomous train and it eliminates the need of any driver and so human error. Whenever the train arrives at the station it stops automatically & door is open automatically so that the passengers can move. The door then closes after a prescribed time set or counts the number of passengers leaving and entering the train. The door closes when it reaches maximum occupancy level irrespective of time allotted for the door to remain open. The passenger counts are displayed on a lcd. Its movement controlled by a motor driver IC .It incorporates a buzzer to alert the passengers before closing the door and also warn them before staring. As it reaches the destination the process repeats thus achieving the desired operation. Further it enhanced by making this system more advanced by displaying the status of the train over an LCD screen for the convenience of the passengers. The status of the train consists of the parameters like expected arrival and departure time via GSM modem.
