Improvement of Availability of Level Crossing System by Autonomous Surveillance Camera

Abstract

Indian Railways is facing lots of problems in peoples safety. More than half of the accidents is occurring in the level crossing systems which should be avoided in future. This is because of unmanned level crossing systems. So, in order to avoid these accidents in level crossing systems, we have designed autonomous surveillance camera which uses motion detection method to give alert message to the loco pilot and nearby station master about the motion in the railway level crossing in the image format. So, based on the type of emergency the loco pilot will decide whether to stop the train or not. This will surely avoid the major accidents in the level crossing systems.
