Abstract

In India, rail transport occupies a prominent position in providing the necessary transport infrastructure to sustain needs of a rapidly growing economy. Today, India possesses the fourth largest railway network in the world. However, in terms of the reliability and safety parameters, we have not yet reached truly global standards. This can be improved using certain smart techniques. This paper focuses on cost effective solution of generating voltage from renewable energy resources. Also, railway accidents will be avoided by providing automatic level crossing gates and crack detection on railway tracks. The voltage generated will be used for operation of the level crossing gates. Thus the system will use the generated voltage for its operation, hence the name smart railways.
