Implementation of IoT Enabled RFID Driven Human Life Rescuer in Railways

As per the Data Compiled by the Ministry of Indian Railways, there are nearly 5413 people who lost their lives in Railway accidents from 2015-2020, most of which are due to careless and rushed boarding & de-boarding. Thus, a proposed model called “RFID enabled Railway Rescuer” is introduced to minimize these railway accidents. The proposed Internet of Things (IoT) system consists of a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag, that detects the passenger in ZOR (Zone of Risk - The Door Edge) which in turn triggers the RFID reader fixed in the compartment. The Activated RFID reader will sense all the RFID tags that are present in the ZOR by providing alerts in the form of sound beeps or lights on the Door Edge. Or in other cases, it sends quick notifications to the passengers who are holding respective RFID tags. These notifications alert the passenger to change their standing position. By this, the proposed model tends to minimize railway accidents & thus save many innocent lives.
