What are the primary things that you should consider while designing an
accident prevention system for trains? Whenever a train is moving in a particular
track it should be able to detect the number of tracks to which it can move from
that track. It should detect if any other train is present on these tracks by a
suitable mechanism like GPS( Global Positioning System) or any other means . It
should also be able to detect the status of the train (whether the train is
stationary or moving) so that a buzzer alarm goes off along with the indication of
track number to alert the motorman of the impeding danger in that track. If the
motorman has failed to act within a specified time (4 seconds) then emergency
electro pneumatic brakes should be applied automatically until the train comes
to a halt. The system should also check for any other vehicles (due to unmanned
level crossing) or cracks in its existing track using a suitable mechanism.
The following ideas are just suggestions, to help you in proceeding further. You m
ay choose to implement the following ideas, or modify them or use your own new
brilliant ideas and then implement them.
Event format:
All interested contestants must send in the abstract before 11.59pm on

final round will be purely based on the abstract so make sure your team’s idea is
well in it.
1. The first page of the report must contain only the following details :
a. Names of all the team members and the name of your team.
