Research Proposal

Name: K.Sanjeevan

Index: 178666A

Proposed Supervisor: Dr. Buddhika Jayasekara

Project Title:

Railway automatic signal controlling and AI based time scheduling

Introduction

Railway mode transportation is very old and still emerging with new technology and the last
50 years, and especially the last 20 years, have seen railway technologies move much further
than other transport modes [1]. The current rail transport system is playing an essential role in
driving sustainable economic growth, providing access for passengers into and between the
major economic centers and fulfilling a vital position in the supply chain [3]. So improving
railway signal controlling and improving the railway traffic could increase the waste energy
reduction by quicker transportation and sustainable growth of the society and country.

Background and Rationale

(Short)

In sri lanka railway mode transport most cheaper but more unreliable due to many factors
such as railway traffic management, station stopping manual signal control by station master,
time table scheduling and track management.
