Smart Engine System for Train using Arduino Uno Kit and Generation of Electricity using Hybrid Energy

The railway network of India is the biggest in South Asia and perhaps the most complicated in all over the world. There are so many different types of train local, fast, superfast, passenger, goods etc., and there are so many multiple routes. Although the timetable is perfect, it is not at all possible to maintain it. Moreover, that is why the train accidents are becoming more and more usual. The accidents between trains are increasing due to negligence of intelligent techniques implemented in the trains and improper control signaling from the Train Traffic Control Station (TTCS). Therefore, this a kind of intelligence to the train engines itself, so that it prevents accidents. In our project we aim at generating electricity using combined renewable energy resources of wind and solar from a running train and using a part of this energy to detect damages in the railway track system by passing a minute voltage over the track, thus avoiding the train accidents. Remaining energy can be saved using battery and used for train lighting system.
