Fire Detection in Trains and Notification System

Abstract

In this project, a remedy to reduce the death loss occurring due to fire accidents in trains is presented. Fire on a running train is more dangerous than on a stationary one, since fanning by winds helps spread the fire to other coaches. When these accidents are occurring in remote areas or during night times the loss or damage being caused is at higher rates. The damage is heavier due to improper reach of service at right time due to improper communication. Fire detection system consists of temperature sensor, microcontroller, USART, GSM module. In train, temperature sensor is placed in all coaches. Temperature sensor is used to sense the temperature in that environment. Temperature sensor data will be sent to the microcontroller. Microcontroller generates the control signal according to the temperature sensor value. Generated control signal will be sent to the GSM module. If the temperature value exceeds the normal value, GSM module send the information to the higher officials in the railway department. Thus a remedial action can be carried out immediately.
