The local railway system forms a backbone of major cities in India. According to the statistics 43 % of the city's population uses this method to commute on a regular basis. The railway routes cover vast area and many stations, stoppage time for each station being approximately 30 seconds. The high frequency of the trains takes care of the large hordes of passengers in rush hours. For the new passengers after boarding, it is often a nuisance to figure out the logistics of their destination such as platform orientation, next destination and also the estimated time in a short period of the stoppage duration. This leads to chaos and unfortunate accidents that can be avoided efficiently using innovative technology. Moreover, our present system of management provides no provision for neither visually and hearing impaired masses nor for the illiterate folks whose influx in the city is very high. In addition to the above challenges, another major concern is a lack of any present indication system for the coming station in fast local trains.
[...] FEATURES: 80C51 CPU V. RESULTS The circuit has been designed and tested in college lab. Picture 1 show our actual prototype of the design made using 3 RFID cards and single reader, microcontroller, loudspeaker, 5X7 dot matrix LED display. In the following some pictures, the actual readout on display panel which is a rolling pattern is shown in sequence. Fig 4,5,6,7 Images showing various messages displayed on display inside the bogie in sequence and entire setup including train model running on tracks. VI. [...]
[...] An assistance system is present for the newly developed Metro railways in Delhi which is an extension of the same basic idea. Though it will be beneficial not to confine it only to the Metro but implement it in various other network locomotives which would save a lot of inconvenience and thus improve efficiency. This system can overcome a lot of inconvenience in the present system and make the A. Working i. RFID consist of different component such as reader and tag/card. [...]
[...] Before every station, the display indicates the coming station, approximated time to reach that station and orientation of the platform for the same which will help to curb the accidents while boarding or getting off the train. Design is a micro-controller based embedded design which includes RFID card and RFID reader; voice IC, Public address system and LED display board. The core application of the system is to meet the needs of Local railway systems in various cities such as Mumbai, Kolkata, and Delhi etc to provide information about destination inside the railway coach. [...]
[...] RFID is preferred due to its following benefits: Provides complete automated processes. Wireless, non-contact, non-line-of-site communication Robustness, Low maintenance costs, Repeated use, Extremely low error rate Tags available in a range of types, sizes and materials. Unique Identification - Each RFID tag has a unique serial number that distinguishes among many millions of identically manufactured objects. RFID tags can be read through human body, clothing and non-metallic materials. Power Requirements Interfaces Read Range Frequency Format Transponder Dimensions Temperature Range Fig.3 Working Principle of RFID. [...]
[...] RFID and ITS BENEFITS polarization of the reader antenna and the transponder antenna, as well as the placement of the tag on the object to be identified will all have an impact on the RFID system's read range. There is several frequency bands allocated to RFID operations. In general, high frequencies permit greater data transmission rates, which is a major factor that influences the time it takes to actually read an ID-tag. Which frequency that is used therefore impacts at which speed a vehicle may be moving while the ID-tag is being identified. [...]
