Automatic Train Track Monitoring and Collision Avoidance System

Abstract: The most famous transportation system in India and abroad is the railway system. With rapid growth of locomotive systems in modern times the number of accidents happening all around the world is increasing day by day. Thus, there is a strong need for automatic train track monitoring to avoid collisions. This paper is concerning Automatic Train Track Monitoring and Collision Avoidance System. It adds up three new levels of safety, security and convenience to railway locomotive system. With this system installed and running every authorized person can get live information feed of the active railway tracks and the trains which are using it. If by any chance the supervisor at the control station makes any wrong decision which may lead to a collision, the automatic collision avoidance algorithm constantly checks and make sure no collision happens.
