Abstract :
In the fast moving world, nobody is ready to look what´s happening around them. Even when an accident occurs nobody cares about it. So we have implemented a solution for this problem by developing an enhanced fire rescue system for reducing the number of victims in case of train fire accidents. This system has been developed and implemented using the smart sensors and microcontroller technology. It will automatically identify the fire accident and inform it to the loco pilot through wireless signal transmission. As an initial step, fire will be suppressed and intimation about the accident will be sent through Short Message Service (SMS) to the crossed and fore coming stations This SMS consists of the status of fire accident accurately by transmitting the physical parameters such as compartment number, intensity of fire. This also display the particular area code based upon that GSM Mobile network. The complete details about the location where the train is stopped, train details could be intimated from control room. As a whole this system ensures that it will reduce the human death ratio due to accidents. The whole supply is provided y means of solar.
