Fire detection and Alarming system with Automated N2 and CO2.
Project Area of Specialization Internet of ThingsProject SummaryThe trains are moderate vehicles used for transporting people and goods. Mostly, the people prefer the train journey for longer distance as it is cheaper. Since induction of train for public transportation, the fire accidents are not catered seriously by the Pakistan Railways. The notices showing "Do not smoke", "Do not carry inflammable material" are the only precautionary warnings about the fire in each compartment. However, because of failure in routine maintenance system or by the activities of illegal social elements, the fire accidents in train occur frequently. These fire accidents are among the most serious disasters to human lives and the property of government. In recent days, the train fire accident occurred and made several human loss. The prevention of train fire has become a serious concern in our country. Currently, Our Pakistan Railways doesn't use any sophisticated fire prevention methods. But it is realized to have an automatic system to monitor the fire in the carriage giving alarm to the people, sending signal to the engine driver to stop the train and the fire is extinguished with the help of automatic N2 or Co2 sprinkler system. To have these all above in a single package a wireless sensor network with automate sprinkler system is proposed. This system is used for monitoring, automatic fire sprinkling, cautioning and preventing of fire in running trains. The fire may occur in Any form of activities such as short circuit in the electrical wires, prohibited activities of carrying diesel, petrol, gas stoves and smoking nearby them will cause fire accidents. To control these we do not have an intensive work force. To overcome this, a system of having automatic sensor monitoring, fire alarm warning and fire extinguishing are based on wireless sensor network technology. This system can monitor real-time related parameters such as temperature, humidity and Smoke in each carriage. From the information collected by the system, decisions for firefighting, alarming, and automatic operation of the train braking system can be made more quickly by the system or engine driver. The engine driver will get the warning light and alarm and stops the engine. Further the System will informs to the concern authority like Rescue and nearest police station immediately for help by tracking the current location of train by GPS tracker. Furthermore, the system also supported by the camera which will capture the picture of incident and save to database which will be helpful for the further investigation of incident
Project Objectives- The main objective of our proposed system is public safety
- Safe government property
- It will focus on the system that will detect and control the fire accidents on running train.
- In-house parameters such as smoke and temperature in the each carriage can be monitored in real time.
- Information collected by the sensor system, decisions for firefighting, alarming, and automatic N2 and Co2 system can be made more quickly by the relevant system.
- After receiving the signal, the engine driver will stop the train and take necessary action.
- GPS tracking system will inform the nearest Rescue centers and police stations.
A camera to take Pictures of Accident.
