Abstract
There is an increasing with the number of accidents at railroad railings. Collisions with train are generally catastrophic, in that the destructive forces of a train usually no match for any other type of vehicle. Train collisions form a major catastrophe, as they cause severe damage to life and property. Train collisions occur frequently eluding all the latest technology. This paper deals about one of the efficient methods to avoid Train Collisions. This approach uses the Vibration sensor and a Proximity LASER Detector and the communication mechanism to communicate the Critical Details about the Train to the Control Room.
Train Collisions are of different types depending upon the circumstance. The head to head collisions are nowadays mostly avoided with the advancement in the technology. Anti Collision Devices have knowledge embedded intelligence. They take inputs from GPS satellite system for position updates and network among themselves for exchanging information using their data radio modems to take decisions for timely auto-application of brakes to prevent dangerous ' head to head collisions' . so we have to focus on the other potential reasons for the dangerous mishap or catastrophe. The other main reasons for the collisions of Train are: 1.Train Derailment in curves and bends,2.Running Train collisions with the Standing Train,3.Train Accidents in Slopes,4.Mis- signalling due to fog or Mist. Micro-controller and the embedded
technology is used in the coherence of the above operation with the sensors and relays and solenoid valves as electromechanical switches. h Te Embedded technology has reached its peak so that the design can be so perfect withtime critical parameters
