Auto Metro Train to Shuttle between Stations
Abstract
This project is designed to demonstrate the technology used in metro train movement which are used in most of the developed countries. This train is equipped with a controller that enables the automatic running of the train from one station to another.
This project is designed so that students can understand the technology used in now-a-days driverless metro trains which are used in most of the developed countries like Germany, France, and Japan etc. These trains are equipped with the CPU which controls the train. The train is programmed for a specific path. Every station on the path is defined and also the stoppage timing of the train and distance between the two stations is predefined. This proposed system is an autonomous train and it eliminates the need of any driver. Thus, any human error is ruled out. In this project 8051 microcontroller has been used as CPU. Whenever the train arrives at the station it stops automatically, as sensed by an IR sensor. Then the door is opens automatically so that the passengers can go inside the train. The door then closes after a prescribed time set in the controller by the program.
