Sensor based identification system for Train Collision Avoidance

Abstract

The accidents between trains are increasing due to negligence of intelligent techniques implemented in the trains and improper control signaling from the Train Traffic Control Station (TTCS). The Train Tracking Chip (TTC) modules and Train Identification Chip (TIC) modules are using to sense the presence of trains on the same track. The signals from the moving train are transmitted through the GSM network to the stationary trains on the same track and to the TTCS. By using this method one can determine whether the trains were heading for Rear-end collision or Head on collision. The TTCS transmits control signal to stop or move the trains.
