The basic principle is the geometrical analysis of the facial image. The result of this analysis decides if the person entering the compartment is an intruder or not. This technique has become an empirical aspect in the present world. For this purpose, Weber’s Local Descriptor (WLD) is used for the pre-processing of the image. When an intruder enters the ladies compartment, the system transmits a warning signal to the receiver kept near to the officials in the train. Once warning signal is received it sounds an alarm for alert. Also the mode of communication used is ZigBee for a better and faster response. 5Assistant

1. INTRODUCTION Presently, a lot of complaints are being reported on women harassment in sub-urban trains. According to surveys, with an increase in women workforce, the chance of women being harassed is likely to go up numerously in coming years. Most of the women commuters are also ignorant of the railway helpline numbers which results in the incidents being unreported. This paper gives a solution to this problem up to an extent in order to inculcate fear in law-breakers. The system proposed in this paper is limited for the passengers in the ladies compartment of the train and not for all the female passengers in the train. Weber’s Local Descriptor algorithm can be effectively used for image processing [1] & [4]. It was found to be satisfactory than any other descriptive algorithms. PIC16F877A micro-controller is used in the transmitter and receiver section [2] & [5]. It has a variable frequency of 0-20MHz and each pin of the ports can be individually configured. Serial Peripheral Interface can be used to connect the micro-controller to external devices. Another benefit of using this micro-controller is that it has flash memory. On comparing with GSM and Wi-Fi, ZigBee was found to be better. It is because of its smaller size, low power consumption and longer battery life [3].
2. BASIC CONCEPT The proposed system is composed of mainly two parts: transmitter and receiver section. The transmitter part is placed in the female compartment and the receiver part near to the officials in the train. If an intruder enters the female compartment, the camera processes the video and takes the image of the intruder. The image is then processed using the principle Weber’s Local Descriptor (WLD). WLD helps to analyze the image geometrically. On finding it to be an intruder the transmitter section transmits a signal via ZigBee transmitter and receives it at the ZigBee receiver. On receiving this signal the alarm gets switched ON and “WARNING” is displayed on the LCD screen in order to alert the officials. There is an emergency switch kept in the female compartment in case of emergency situations. On pressing this switch the passenger can manually sound the alarm and alert the officials for help.
