Flood Warning System For Railways Using Ultrasonic Waves
Abstract
The safety in rail travel is one of the major research areas where people work on a large number of
ideas. This project deals with avoiding accidents on railway bridges due to damages caused because
of flood. It also addresses the problem of trains being washed away by floods. The wild animals will
enter the highways and the railways. This very often leads to fatal accidents resulting in loss of
wildlife and also human life. As of now there are no proper systems to prevent accidents like these.
An ultrasonic sensing device is attached beneath the rails, underneath the bridge. This device uses
ultrasonic waves and along with the microcontroller accurate level of the water below the bridge is
calculated. If the level goes above a standard value immediately the microcontroller alerts the train.
A wireless receiver system placed in the train continuously monitors for any warning signal and gives
the received signal to the alarm A receiver attached to the train hears the alarm as soon as it nears
the railway bridge. Hence the driver can stop the train on hearing the alarm and also the signals
shown before entering the bridge.
The project prevents accidents due to manual negligence. The survey of tracks becomes increasingly
difficult at nights and during rainy seasons. Thus it helps in immediate stopping of train and help
prevent loss of life and material by averting major accidents.

Existing System
1. In the Existing system, Human labor is employed to inform damages in rail tracks
2. The survey of rail tracks will not be possible during nights and during rainy season

Proposed System
1. In the proposed system, an Ultrasonic sensing device is placed underneath bridge for
measuring the accurate level of water
2. The Microcontroller alerts the train, if the water level goes above standard level
