Wireless Powered Hitech Train

Description

The "Wireless Powered Hitech Train" is an innovative prototype showcasing future-ready driverless train technology. It integrates wireless charging, automatic station detection, and enhanced passenger communication to create an efficient, eco-friendly public transit model. This scalable concept has significant potential for advancing urban transit systems, contributing to smart city initiatives, and promoting sustainable transport. Stage 1: Automatic Train Operation and Station Identification Implementation of an Automatic Coach Display System to assist passengers in identifying approaching stations. The system utilizes magnetic switches and IR transmitters to detect stations and provide real-time updates on an LCD display. Train doors open and close automatically at stations, ensuring convenience for passengers without manual intervention. A prototype includes a motorized trolley controlled by an arduino to simulate train movements. Stage 2: Wireless Power Supply and Energy Transmission Power for the system is derived from a rechargeable 12V battery, which is charged via wireless energy transfer from solar panels installed at each station. Wireless charging operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction to eliminate the need for physical wires. These stages collectively address automation and energy efficiency for modern train systems.
