Railway transportation is one of the largest transportation networks in India, which conveys 23 million of commuters everyday mainly due to low cost of payment and nonexistence of any traffic difficulties. Even though there are locomotives with automatic doors, the negligence of both drivers and passengers often results in tragedy. Footboard accidents are occurred frequently due to lack of awareness, non- availability of trains often and sometimes unforeseen reasons by nature. In the proposed system, an arduino based accident prevention module is developed which detects and alert the person standing near footboards of the locomotives. It is spotted by the ultrasonic sensor that transmits and receives signals and there by communicate it to the loco pilot. The power for the proposed system is taken from the locomotive and it is controlled by the android based smart phones with the special app inbuilt in the system.
