Abstract:- This paper
illustrates the equipment used
in metro train motion which
are used in most of the
progressed countries. In This
automatic metro train we have
provided a arduino based
controller that facilitates the
programmed stopping of the
train from one station to
another station. This work
presents the enhancement
process of a framework for a
driverless train instigated
using a arduino based
controller. The hardware
circuits design, which are built
on circuit boards, are provided
with various sensors for
automation purposes. The
hardware is assembled in a
toy-like train framework.
Driverless trains are outfited
with a control system, which is
programmed to make them
follow a precise path. Stations
on such a path, timings of the
train and distances between
stations are all predefined.
Messages and warnings are
automatically generated and
announced to the passengers.
This paper presents the
development process of a
framework for a driverless
train implemented using a
ATMEGA328p ARDUINO.
The hardware circuits, which
are built on handmade pcb
board are interfaced with
various sensors for automation
purposes. The arduinoC
programming language is used
for programming the arduino.
Introduction:-
Recent technological
advancement are being
asimilated in almost all
point of our life including
transit transportation,
where a lot of upgradation
has been made. Railroad
transport, for fact, has
undergone a huge
transformation, starting
with the early steam
operated engines to the
most recent bullet train.
Many developments in
transit transport has
utilized the existing
infrastructure, where the
existing metro system is
being modernized and
equipped with automatic
train control and safety
system in order to make
them more productive.
Driverless automated
concepts have been
adopted, -
The intent of this project
is to drive the train
automatically with the help
of sensors and safety of
passengers is the basic
concern of our model based
prototype metro train. In
this project, part of this
automation tasks are
considered, and a Arduino-
based prototype is
developed. work such as
running through a given
path with predefined
stations, and sensing the
arrival at the station and
hence, proper stopping are
implemented in the
framework. Information
that are synched with the
train's movement through
its path are announced to
passengers via a lcd display.
Moreover, alarm signals are
produced as appropriate.
Controlling of the doors in
terms of open and close and
timings of such actions are
considered.
Driverless train
implementation:-
The role of any train
conveyance system is to
provide secure, consistent,
efficient and high-quality
service to passengers. As
many transit lines run at or
near their capacity limits,
automation is often the only
way to maximize the
operative performance of a
train service system.
