摘要：The demand for railway service, have consistently increasing in the last two decades. As a result, more strict safety requirements for railway signaling, control and infrastructure are needed. Same as railway service, in recent years, wireless technology have also advanced rapidly. Especially in this paper we are implementing a zigbee and sensor based information and rescuing system in a train to alert the authorities about the fire accident occurred. Zigbee and sensor network both are effective low cost monitoring system will also help the railway industry for both signalling and communication purpose[11]. Finally presenting a low power embedded system to overcome the fire accidents occurring in railway industry. In this paper a discussion of proposed safety system for railway, using 16f877a microcontroller of PIC as hardware platform, and combine with zigbee and wireless sensor network as a communication platform of wireless area network. Which can transmit, receive and display warnings and emergency signals and for sensing the temperature in trains.
