Our project aims to solve the problem causing derailments and prevents subsequent accidents. The two major causes of derailments, i.e, the misjudgment of speed-weight and the faulty tracks.
Our proposed solution consists of two main features :
A monitoring app keeps a track of the train activities and subsequent reschedules. Authorities can see the live status, track the faults in the map and check the reschedules.
Integration of a big system including sensors and Raspberry Pi was difficult for us to manage. We have thought of an alternate and cost-effective solution for the same. We can achieve this by creating a local network of SCADA's HMI screens as a web app, where the information will be displayed within the network, instead of using multiple PLC's.
