The project aims to prevent accidents that occur due to the gap between platforms and trains and lose of valuable things into the gaps. Accidents have been reported at railway stations, as passengers fall under the train through the gap between train and platform. Most of the accidents occurs due to over crowd, rush and carelessness of the passengers and when the passengers try to board the moving train. The project helps to overcome these problems. Sider steps are attached to all the doors of each bogy of the train. It will be deployed automatically as the train reaches the station. The sider step will cover the gap between the train and platform as there are chances for people to be trapped between the steps of the train and platform. The slider step slides forward and backward with the help of a gear motor. The complete system is automated. The system works with the help of two sensors: Ultrasonic sensor – To detect the presence of platform and Magnetic Reader Switch – To find out the rpm of the wheel. There is a micro controller, which controls the gear motor. The signals from both the sensors will be given to the micro controller. The micro controller first checks the presence of platform and then the rpm of wheel, if both the signals are right then only the slider step will be deployed.
