An Innovative Smart Railway Platform Assist in Domestic Railway Stations

Now-a-days India is moving in a smarter direction by promoting the smart cities and smart railway stations, in this aspect we have taken a small initiative by adding an innovation in domestic railway platform in the Indian railway structure. The motivation for this innovation is to address few problems faced by physically challenged people and senior nationals in crossing of foot over bridge between the two railway Platforms. To overcome this issue, a modified smart platform is proposed in this paper. The smart Platform is participated amidst the railway tracks in the side of the crossing point Platform. At the moment that there is no train arriving in the station, the smart Platform will be opened. The physically challenged individuals will use the smart Platform to cross between the Platforms. Proximity sensors are set on the two sides of track. If the train reaches one sensor the smart Platform will consequently close and enables the trains to o through the tracks and when the train leaves the second sensor the smart Platform will automatically open between the Platforms. The train approaching the railway stations will be proclaimed in a voice system and illustrated by LED signals. The proposed structure gives the best response for the movement of physically challenged individuals from one platform to another Platform without using foot over bridge.
