Projecct for ECE - Railway Tracking for knowing the destination station
First thing ,i want to know whether it is already done by someone ?
Next thing ,i want to know the possible ways as per your suggestions/ideas apart from the ways i'm having.
Details: While we are travelling in Train,we face lot of annoying things,and here is one i want to share.
we might not able to know ,where we are ,and how long is our station from us,the reach time of the train to the destination station.
So,how can we make a project,that can slove this problem
Problem
- Alert passengers the current position of the train via LED/Voice announcement
- Destination station's location or the next upcoming station to the train.
we can use GPS to track the location but how to know near by station ,and that information is need to convert into a voice message that is fed to loudspeaker.
or else
can we use transmitter on every station,and a receiver at the train,where the transmitter has to cover an area of about 1-2kms ,so that the receiver can detect the station early and alert passengers to get ready with their packages.
How can we do this,share your ideas,suggestions and the tools that we need to use for this..waiting for your replies..
