dc.description.abstract | This project proposes a comprehensive smart monitoring system designed to enhance
railway safety through the integration of electrical and mechanical components.
Leveraging advanced technologies including sensors, microcontrollers, and display units,
the system continuously monitors trains and tracks to detect and prevent hazards. The
system incorporates various components such as electrical LED lights, LCD displays,
buzzers, Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS), mechanical switches, Arduinos, and
limitation switches. These components are strategically deployed on trains and along
tracks to collect and analyze critical data in real-time. Electrical LED lights and LCD
displays provide visual alerts and information to train operators and maintenance
personnel regarding potential hazards or abnormal conditions detected by sensors. Buzzers
serve as auditory alarms for immediate attention in critical situations. SMPS units ensure
reliable power supply to the monitoring system, while mechanical switches and limitation
switches are used for physical position detection and safety monitoring. The Arduino
microcontroller acts as the central processing unit, collecting data from sensors, analyzing
it using predefined algorithms, and triggering appropriate responses based on predefined
thresholds or conditions. The system's architecture enables early detection of hazards such
as track deformities, mechanical failures, or environmental risks, allowing for proactive
intervention to mitigate risks and prevent accidents. This project aims to address
limitations in traditional railway monitoring systems by integrating electrical and
mechanical components with advanced sensor technologies. By providing real-time data
insights and actionable alerts, the proposed system offers a proactive approach to railway
safety, ultimately contributing to the creation of safer and more efficient railway networks. | en_US |
