Idea/Approach Details

Ministry Category : Ministry of Railways Problem Code:#MOR6

Problem Statement : Drone/Robot based system for cleaning between tracks
Team Leader Name: College Code:#7232

Solutions
The wastes between the tracks is picked up by flying drones and collected
using large bin like structure which is mounted on the tracks.
At first the bin which is a moving object is programmed to move forward
(eg: 50mts each).
The drone used to detect wastes by raspberry pi camera through OpenCV
technology.
If the waste is detected it picks and drops it in the bin which is on the track
and continues from where the previous waste material is detected.
As soon as drone detects there is null wastes, it sends information to the bin
to move to the next 50mts and stop.
By this method total area around the railway tracks and in between tracks is
covered and detected for wastes.

 TECHNOLOGY STACK
Raspberry pi
Raspberry pi camera
Arduino Uno
Bluetooth module
OpenCV
Python

USE CASE
Manual cleaning is required which consumes more time and
more workers involved which is overcomed using this prototype.
Usage of Li-Po batteries lasts more than 30min.
Large area is covered using drone within short span of time.
There is no need of human workers to operate the drone as it is
fully automatic
