Subway automation system

摘要

The amount of vehicles present in a city is increasing exponentially due to which the city management is not able to incorporate wide roads in the city. Since, the roads are not of desired dimensions that can incorporate the increased traffic, this leads to rise in amount of accidents or traffic jams. This project implements a solution that can be used reduced to traffic chaos across any One-way Subway/Road present in the country by efficiently reducing the human effort if deployed for controlling the chaos. This project also shows its reliability when the subway consists of blind curves at both the ends increasing the chaos drastically. In order to create an efficient system that can be used for the Traffic Automation along that road we employ various subsystems (AMR Sensor, PLC Controller, Boom Barriers, Countdown Timer and Traffic Lights) for obtaining the overall efficiency of the system. We utilize the Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive (AMR) sensors as a field device that is used for detecting the vehicle and the kind of vehicle if it is present on the subway. The output of the sensor is provided to the Controller that utilizes it for running an efficient algorithm and takes the necessary decisions instantly to monitor the traffic control inside the subway. The Boom barriers are used to constraint the users from entering the subway without the authorization provided by the controller. The countdown timer is used to increase the efficiency and safety of the system by constraining the time to close the boom barrier once the vehicle has left. The traffic lights are used for providing a visual aid to the users that when to utilize the subway and give them glance that it is right now utilized by the other side user. By incorporating this system, we can enhance the efficiency of One-way/Subway to the maximum by allowing the traffic flow of vehicles from one side at a timeleading to reduce the traffic chaos. This project helps in obtaining the safety measures to the maximum by providing the safety to the pedestrian walkers in the subway, bicycle users, and various other vehicles users that utilize for the transportation.
