Train Crash Avoidance System

This paper introduces a Train Crash Avoidance System (TCAS) designed to prevent catastrophic incidents by providing timely alerts. The system seamlessly integrates with existing railway infrastructure and emergency response systems, ensuring a coordinated reaction from all authorities involved. The system consists of an emitter, a receiver, and a signalling system. When the train derails, the signal emitted will be disturbed by the rail and hence the receiver will not get the signal. Consequently, the signalling system will alert the station masters of the nearby railway stations who will, in turn, inform the authorities so that they can take prompt action and the passengers can be evacuated as soon as possible.
