Clean tracks: Automated hygiene system for Indian railway restrooms

Key Points

The aim is to address hygiene challenges in railway restrooms through an automated system.
Introduced Clean Tracks, an automated sanitization system
Used ultraviolet sterilization and hydrogen sulphide sensors
Implemented automated flushing and real-time sensor monitoring
Enabled proactive maintenance notifications
Reduced odor and microbial burdens in toilet facilities

Abstract

The hygiene of toilets in railways presents an ongoing challenge. This paper introduces Clean Tracks, a fully automated sanitization system using ultraviolet sterilization along with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) sensors and smoke/alcohol sensors. Automated flushing and sensor monitoring with proactive maintenance notifications is facilitated in real-time, resulting in more proactive management of toilet hygiene. The findings show that the toilet system was effective in reducing odor, microbial burdens, and increasing user satisfaction and offers a new scalable, smart sanitation option for railways.
