IntroductionThe trains are moderate vehicles used for transporting

people and goodsMostly, the people prefer the train journey for longer

distance as it is cheaper.And our Indian Railway network is the world’s second

largest Railway network.But fire accidents in trains are among the most serious

disasters to human lives and to the property of government Because the only precautionary warnings about the fire in

each compartment are The notices showing "Do not smoke", "Do not carry inflammable material“

Hence we proposed our plan to overcome these problems.

Current ScenarioRandom checking of luggages by the railway police.The notices showing "Do not smoke", "Do not carry inflammable

material“ are the only precautionary warnings about the fire in each compartment.

coffee vendorsAnd the anti-social activities

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE SENSOR NODE

ZIGBEE TECHNOLOGY

ZigBee is a considered as a path for a suite of high level communication protocols.

ZigBee also support low rate and low-power digital radios based on an IEEE 802 standard for personal area networks [PAN].

The purpose of the technology defined by the ZigBee specification is to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs (Wireless personal area network), such as Bluetooth.

FIRE ALARMING SYSTEM

The thermocouple temperature sensor is to monitor for fire conditions within rail coach

And also it provides external and internal alarms, together with automatic operation of the train braking system

When the temperature senses it triggers the alarm in the coaches to make the people alert and wake up who are sleeping.

CONTROL OF FIRE ACCIDENTS

PROCESS OVERVIEW

Automatic alarm system which alerts all the passengers at sleep during night

ZigBee wireless sensor network which transmits signal to the engine driver panel enabling the warning light and alarm to function.

Automatic water sprinkler system which is energized and shut-off valve opens. It allows water to enter into the sprinklers and get sprayed.

How it works?

ConclusionWireless sensor network are increasingly

applied in the field of fire safety and monitoring.

With the help of our proposal ,we pointed out unique advantage of safety in signal transmission, flexibility in network set up and low cost.

We propose this system as a first attempt and compliment to Indian railways fire monitoring system.
