SPEED CONTROL OF TRAIN BASED ON SIGNALS

Abstract:

Nowadays there is a lot of problem with neglecting railway signals by the driver in
day today life.The driver may neglect the train signals or it may not be clear due to fog etc. that
reflects accidents of trains at different places.We have taken the above problem for that we need
one solution that solution i.e. developed with automatic speed control of train based on signals
developed with microcontroller.Here we have used an Infra Red (IR) transmitter at the signal
terminal i.e. continuously transmit the communication code to the receiver based on the signals
nature(Red,Yellow and Green).We have established the receiver part in the train that receives
communication code transmitted from the transmitter and it gives an alarm in the train
subsequently the signal status is displayed on the display (16x2 dot matrix display).

In along with this the speed control of train control system is attached to the microcontroller that
reduces the speed of the train when yellow signal is detected,the train stops when red signal is
detected,if green is detected the information received in the train travels with full speed.So here
we have established asynchronous protocol for transmitting and receiving data between signal
and train with the help of two microcontrollers.The assembly level program is written in
microcontroller for executing entire operation.In future same system can be connected to
Frequency Shift Keying(FSK) for increasing more distance between signals and train.
