Abstract – One of the most dangerous accidents in the
Humidity sensors detects the moisture level changes in the particular compartment. The flame sensor detects the heat and any extreme flame that occurs due to fire. A smoke sensor detects the smoke coming from the fire. The temperature sensor updates the changes in the temperature. Whenever these sensors detects abnormal conditions, it automatically turns ON the fire extinguisher ball and then it will send the SMS to a nearby compartment as well as to the loco pilot. This system also has a detaching mechanism. This will prevent the fire caught into the other compartments. When sensors give high output, extinguishing will happen. If the fire is not quenched it will activate the sprinkler system in the train. At the same time, the DC motor will activate to separate the train compartment to avoid fire accidents. Once the fire is detected, microcontroller also sends a message to the loco-pilot of the train and nearby fire station using the microcontroller.
world is a train accident. It is difficult to eliminate this accident. But it is possible to prevent those accidents using new innovative technologies. This paper, combines operation of an extinguishing system and a communication system using wireless communication. Several units are installed in each railway compartment. Each unit consists of a Humidity sensor, Temperature sensor, Smoke sensor, Flame sensor and GSM module along with an ATMEGA328 microcontroller. The possible ways to extinguish the fire is using a fire extinguisher and switching ON the water sprinkler system. When fire is detected it will give an alert to the nearby compartment and loco pilot Using ZIGBEE communication. Units in other compartments receive notification alerts so that the people may escape from the fire accident. Additionally, the detachment of the train compartment is carried out using ZIGBEE wireless communication.

In this system, the microcontroller Arduino UNO controls the overall operation. The microcontroller gets all the input signals from the input components like the smoke sensor, Flame sensor and Temperature and Humidity sensor. It checks for the appropriate conditions to be met if it is a fire accident. The Output components comprise GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication), and LCD is used to warn the loco pilots with details of the compartment. The idea of a fire extinguishing system is to install ‘units’ in the compartments of the train. Each unit contains sensors like a Flame sensor, smoke sensor, temperature and humidity sensor. The sensitivity of the sensor is adjusted accordingly. When there is a fire accident, initially either the temperature, humidity, flame sensor or the smoke sensor goes high i.e. it gives 5V as output. So, when there is detection in any of the sensors, the microcontroller receives 5V from the sensors. Using the sprinkler placed on the top of the train it will extinguish the fire and the safety box consists of AFO (Auto Fire Off) extinguisher ball, 5V relay will open the closed box, and it will be easy for the passenger. The fireball should be thrown onto the fire correctly so that it will extinguish the fire.
1. INTRODUCTION One of the most serious types of accidents is a train accident. It gives a risky life for both passengers and loco pilots. Hence, it is necessary to take safety precautions in the railway’s department. One of the recent popular accidents in train is fire accidents in compartments. Recently, it has been very common news heard in the newspaper. If one compartment in the train gets fired, then the fire will travel to all compartments very faster. So it is necessary to take quick action to extinguish the fire before it completely spread. This may cause huge disasters and financial risks. After the huge fire accident, many technologies have been under research to extinguish the fire. In this paper, a system is proposed with eliminating fire using Arduino and ZIGBEE communication technologies. Using several sensors like humidity sensors, temperature sensors, smoke sensors, and flame sensors, It is easy to detect the fire in compartment. The reason for the fire accident may be a man-made activity or due to electrical short-circuit. There will be fire-detecting units in each compartment. That unit consists of Arduino UNO, GSM Module, and four sensors and ZIGBEE module.
