ENERGY CONSERVATION IN RAILWAY PLATFORM

Abstract

Railways being one of the safest and cheapest modes of transportation are preferred over all the other means of transport. So, it is essential to maintain and improve the current level of safety. Indian railways daily transporting 14 million passengers by 2 million kilometer rail track per day. Normally in railway platforms Whether the Train is there or not, unnecessarily all Lights in the platforms are glowing. In present system there is lot of usefulness wastage of energy. Maximum energy is wasted at the time of no train on the platform. All the lights televisions etc are not stopped when there is no use. Energy Saving System for Railway Platforms is main idea to develop a micro controller based saving energy for railway platforms. This project is an embedded controlled system where in all the train arrival and departure timings are detected by using sensors. So it can able to switch on all the lights when the train is about to come or to leave. During the other times it can glow some important emergency lights so that the platform will not be left completely dark. In this project micro-controller application setup is installed at each platform. Using an IR sensor will command micro-controller unit for controlling lighting system for each platform.
