Detection of Train Collision and Location Using GPS and Send SMS through GSM to Mobile
Abstract
A tracking system employing global positioning system (GPS) satellites provides extremely accurate position, velocity, and time information for vehicles or any other animate or inanimate object within any mobile radio communication system or information system, including those operating in high rise urban areas.
The tracking system includes a sensor mounted on each object, a communication link, a workstation, and a GPS reference receiver. The raw satellite measurements, with relevant timing and status information, are provided to the communication link to be relayed periodically back to the workstation. Differential corrections may also be provided at the workstation to increase the accuracy of the object location determination. In normal operation, three satellite measurements are required to compute the location of the object, but for a short time period a minimum of two satellite measurements are acceptable with time, altitude, and map aiding information being provided by the workstation. In this project we are developing a system that is connected with train. Whenever any train meets with an collision this system send the exact location of the train to the supervisor’s phone using GPS and GSM Technology resp. Thus, it helps the railway system get quicker information regarding the collision time and place thus there can be more quicker steps can be taken to help them.
