Smart Train Detector using IoT Approach

Only metal detection in railway tracks to indicate the movement of train is not sufficient. The sensors present in the railway tracks can detect any metal object, be it a train or mere a coin. Thus, in order to make the working more foolproof, introduction of another parameter, i.e., weight on the railway track is necessary. This paper describes an approach to collaborate metal detection with weight detection in railway tracks to detect the train movement using the principle of IoT, using the load cells along with the metal sensors.
