Monitoring of Train Location with Ardunio Based Control System

Abstract

In this study, an Arduino-based prototype has been developed to teach the structure and working principle of the Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) system that enables the monitoring and control of railway traffic to students studying in the field of Rail Systems Electrical and Electronics Technology. The developed system consists of four stations. The line in which the stations are located is divided into the blocks with the fixed block signalling system. At the fixed block signalling system, block, can only be occupied by one train at a time. The TCRT5000 IR (infrared) sensor gives the information that the train has entered the block. When the program embedded in the Arduino controller is operated, the relevant relay at its output activated and that block or station is shown on the centralized commander panel in red. If the relay is active, it not only shows the relevant block line on the central control panel as red, but also ensures that the signal on the line is red. Thus, the information is given for trains coming from behind that the line is full. If the leading train leaves the corresponding block, the signal on the line is converted automatically from red to green to indicate that the corresponding block is empty. In the designed system, the movement of the trains is provided by manual driving. In the system, two different trains were used, both receiving energy from the catenary line and using the third rail system. 433MHz RF transmitter and receiver pair provide giving or cutting the energy to the train on the line and controlling the railway points.
