REAL TIME MONITORING AND PREALARM SYSTEM FOR

DANGEROUS MOUNTAINS IN RAILWAY LINE

ABSTRACT

There appear frequently natural phenomena such as collapse, landslide along the railway line, which badly threaten the transport safety of the railway. This system adopts the method of auto-monitoring, and the monitoring content is the earth's surface deformation. At the front, through high-accuracy displacement sensor, the deformation signals of the dangerous mountains can be acquired, then data collection is carried out at the regular intervals, using the GPRS wireless communication technology, and the real-time monitoring and pre-alarm for dangerous mountains can be achieved. This method is simple, convenient and penetrating, with lower-cost and higher -accuracy.

This system adopts high-accuracy sensors such as strain gauge load cell sensor to monitor and alarm for abrupt collapse, and can monitor the horizontal and vertical displacement of the mountain, through which it can be acquired that the situations such as sedimentation and abrupt collapse of the mountain, and through the network the related data can be transported to the monitor centre. Based on some factors, for example the related meteorological and geological information, the forecast can be made for the mountain displacement and the landslide, and the purpose of monitoring and pre-alarm of long-range and real-time can be arrived at. This system has the merits of low-cost, high-accuracy of monitoring, and strong-degree of automation, and it can reduce the damages greatly of the landslide and collapse for the railroad transport when be installed and used along the railroad line.

In this project we proposed a system which can detect landslide, for this we are using load cell strain gauge to sense the deformation using in the Earth’s surface due to heavy rainfall and earthquake and this will be processed by microcontroller and its output is send as a message to train’s driver and base station with the help of GSM module. In this project we are using a load cell strain gauge sensor which senses the force and vibrations due to heavy rainfall and earthquake. This signal will be processed by microcontroller. If output of microcontroller is high, red signal will ON for alert and at same time hooter will ON otherwise green signal will ON continuously. And message is send to the train’s driver and base station with the help of GSM module.

This system, with low cost, high-precision monitoring and strong degree of automation, can greatly reduce the railway traffic. Hazards caused by the mountain collapse and landslides will reduce, when installed along the railway lines.

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : From many years Indian Railway is facing problems because of accidents in mountain area. To reduce this problems and save lives of people along with money we intend to choose this topic.This system will give us the information regarding the current situations of train and tracks of train's status, which will help passengers to travel on that route. They can cancel their tickets at respective stations and this will save their money. Also we are using hooter which will be on if their is any accident happen. People in nearby mountain area will came to know that their is a need of their help.
