INTRODUCTION AIM & OBJECTIVES ALGORITHM FLOWCHART

Railways provide the cheapest and most convenient mode of passenger The project aims at having a camera in each coach which constantly monitors the
transport both for long distance and suburban traffic in India for about 167 coaches and also captures images every time the train is in motion after waiting in
years.Therefore the problem of accommodating huge crowds in a single the station. After which it calculates the average number of passengers on the basis
metro train evenly in its coaches arises. Some coaches get overcrowded of the image and thereby notifies the passengers in the subsequent stops on which
compartment to get in. Thus this method is created which focuses on proximity and
while a few others remain considerably vacant while passengers board the
estimation to bring down the complexity of crowd in order to manage the
train.This project aims to solve this problem by counting the number of movement of the crowd at each layover. This thereby solves the problem of any
passengers in each coach while the metro is in transit between two stations compartment being over crowded or empty. The passengers can be notified via an
