Wireless Cab Signalling For Railways
Keywords:
Wireless technology, Ultra-Sonic crack detection, sensors, buzzer system.Abstract
Railway‘s work on traditional fixed signalling system, as of now 2-aspect, 3-aspect
and 4-aspect signalling systems are available. Fixed signalling are the existing system, which are
robust and time tested. Many drawbacks are mainly due to the fixed signals, special focus to be
given during the weather conditions. The train control system presented herein is a low cost
solution which improves safety and introduces an interesting level of automation. It is based on
data radio communication between central computer and trains, cab signalling in the trains and
autonomous determination of train location using Wireless technology. Complete information of
the path is stored on the computers database; Salient points along the route like Level crossings,
railway station, Subways, big towns can the displayed on the screen beforehand.
