Abstract

Indian Railways connected to almost every part in India. Indian Railway alone consumes most of India’s Power. Mumbai Suburban Railway suffers from some of the most severe overcrowding in the world . This has resulted in what is known as Super-Dense Crush Load of 14 to 16 standing passengers per square meter of floor space . Coal and Diesel used for generation of this power will be depleting soon. So our project describes a supplementary ease for this by generating renewable energy through concepts Solar , Wind and Piezo Electricity for running fans , lights and internal appliances for local trains. Solar Energy being available freely in the world during day time. So Power Generation through solar panels on roof tops. Wind Energy available freely almost throughout the day and night. Implementing wind harnessing systems between the 2 Boogies of train. Power harvesting by piezoelectric systems in the standing area of passengers. Use of PIR sensors inside the BOGGIE of train for switching off the lights and fans when no human inside the train. Use of Proximity sensors to avoid obstacles or accidents.
