Energy Saving Systems for Railway Platforms

INTRODUCTION In todays world. Microcontroller based control systems are gaining more importance, because of their number of advantages over the manual control system. The microcontroller based control systems are more reliable, accurate and easily programmable. Hence they allowed user to perform data transfer, data security, design the control system and tracking the changes in the system. In this project we have tried to make such a control system for energy saving on platform lights. e have placed I! sensors on both the sides of station in order to sense the presence of train. hen any train crosses the I! sensor It cuts the I! beam. This event will be tracked by Microcontroller. hich will turn "# the lights for limited pervade of time hence saving the energy wastages and over consumptions
