"Automatic Railway Track Security System Using GSM"

Railway Tracking  Security System

                Railways being the cheapest mode of transportation are preferred over he other means.As we all know many railways occurring at unmanned railway track due to the carelessness in manual operations or lack of workers.This project overcomes this problem using simple electronic components to automate the control of railway track.As a railway track  breaks a message will send to the nearest station by GSM modem.

 Automatic Railway Track Security System Using  GSM

Working:The 12V DC is fed to 7805 regulator to fetch +5V regulated output.This regulated voltage is given to all the components to function properly.However,the modem power supply is +5V.This project is based on GSM modem infrastructure.So, as we send any SMS it goes through the GSM system.This message received by the SIM card used in GSM module.The format for sending this message is (#SMS Part here*). The starting string of the SMS is used as the password .As the password is matched, then the SMS arrival is assumed to be valid by the micro-controller otherwise, it ignores the SMS. On the basis of proper initiator and terminator the controller(AT Mega 168) decodes the SMS( # &* ).The GSM modem can be configured for sending an SMS also by configuring at using proper AT command. this feature of the modem has been used in this project.
This project Works in two modes: one in which the system is active in this mode if someone tries to turn on the vehicle, an alert massage to be sent to the registered user.In second mode, the user can turn on the vehicle without any alert.

SMS arrival Display at LCD screen

The SMS arrival status etc properly displayed on LCD screen.proper LCD display ensured through the programming and the LCD interface design.All the configuration command of GSM modem (AT command), authorized mobile number to received SMS (at remote location) and controlling is done through the controller programming means, controller controls all this process as per the program.the interface between micro-controller and the GSM is through UART communication which is serial communication protocol.
