  • Abstract:
  • The Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly transformed various aspects of our lives, offering innovative solutions to everyday challenges. One such pressing issue is railway safety, where accidents can have devastating consequences. To address this, we propose an Automatic Emergency Detection System that leverages IoT capabilities to enhance railway safety. Our system utilizes a network of sensors placed along railway tracks to detect accidents promptly. These sensors are connected to a central microcontroller, which serves as the system's brain. When an accident is detected, the microcontroller triggers a series of actions to ensure a swift response. One key feature of our system is its ability to alert the train driver immediately. Using a Bluetooth module, the system sends an alert to the driver's phone, providing crucial information about the incident. Additionally, an SMS is sent to predefined emergency contacts, including the GPS location of the accident, enabling quick coordination of response efforts. To further enhance response capabilities, we utilize a cloud-based real-time database, such as Firebase, to store and update emergency information. This allows authorities to access real- time data about the incident, aiding in decision-making and resource allocation. Moreover, our system includes a passenger-side manual emergency alert feature, allowing passengers to report emergencies directly to the response team, specifying the type of assistance required, such as police, fire, or medical help. By leveraging IoT technologies, our system aims to significantly reduce emergency response times in railway accidents, potentially saving lives. The integration of sensors, microcontrollers, Bluetooth, SMS, and cloud-based databases creates a robust and effective emergency response system for railway safety. In conclusion, our Automatic Emergency Detection System showcases the transformative power of IoT in enhancing safety and security in the railway industry, with the potential to revolutionize railway safety standards.
