INTRODUCTION
Indian Railways is having the worlds largest railway network.
On the other hand it has faced large number of accidents due

to the collisions, negligence of the signals etc

Even though we have got many techniques of
preventing these accidents NO METHOD CAN BE
MORE EFFECTIVE AS THAT OF GPS.

Why GPS here?

To avoid rail accidents
It is highly efficient
The system is highly reliable and informations are highly

secured.
main function if GPS is to get the interconnectivity of the
various points in the track

ig 1 : Communication link ahitecture

Microphone Sensors:
Needs critical selection as huge amount of the vibrations of
the noises are created that are not possible to get recognized
from a large distance.
Trace the vibrations and sends to DBMS
Proposed sensor-CARBONSENSORS used in telephone.
Fibre optic wires:
Transmit the traced vibration data to DBMS quickly.

Software and DBMS:

1.Software is the programs that can perfors
sometasks that are assigned to them.
2.The DBMS is the Data Base Management
Systemwhich can store a huge amount of the
data in them.
3.Software converts vibrations from sensors into
somegraphical forms and transfer to DBMS which
contains pre-loaded data that are analysed in
normal conditions.

1. The on-board unit consists of communication

satellite antennae, satellite positioning

antennae, the on-board receiver system and
communication interface devices, etc.
2. The on-board unit can continuously measure
different parameters, tag the data with time
and position information, reports irregular
conditions.

1. Need of the towers for the transfer of the

details and the communication
betweenotherestablishments, trains and the
satellites.
2. A visual display system to show the actual
position of the trains along with other details like
visual and audio warning systems.
3. Receivers and the transmitters tuned to
proper frequencies and in accordance to the
network.
4. The train drivers cabin must be such that the
driver will come to know about the track,
weather, bridges and constructional status in
advance.

 Uplink Frequency -5.925 to 6.425 GHz.

Download Frequency -3.700 to 4.200 GHz.
may change as per the advancements

that are made and the system

requirements.

Consider two trains of same or different weights,

speeds approaching towards each other in the

same tack with GPS Network installed in it.
The microphone sensors trace the vibrations
35km prior to its arrival.
As two trains are approaching in the same track
the vibrations gets excited.
This produces emergency signal with alarm and
this is transmitted to the control rooms and to
loco.

1.Railway Safety
2. Automation in the Work.
3. Reduction in the Stress Levels because of the
goodequipments and machinery.
4. Time Delays: As every time the position of the train will be
known thus there will not be any time delays.
5. Train Traffic Control: due to continuous monitoring of the
trains there will be a good train traffic control.
6. Futuristic method: with this method it is possible to make
fully automatic train network which may even not have the
driver in it.

The implemention time is large and the cost is

high to some non-technocrats.

The survey says that the total loss for our
government rates to few hundred crores.
So just by investing a small sum of this loss, the
accidents and the losses can be overcome once
for all.

 The benefits and advantages of the

proposed method outnumber the problems

and disadvantages.
By considering this method for the most

important transport system in India and for

the safety the costliest
human life and the
national property can be protected.
Thus the integration of GPS, sensors along

with software systems can be effectively used

to provide safety as well as huge income to
the Indian Railways.
