Long term evolution for secured smart railway communications using internet of things

Abstract

The railroads have consistently met hurdles due to maintenance and upkeep issues. The length and scale of the network impedes maintenance. Likewise executing and utilizing new age innovation is not feasible still changes should be made on current frameworks. Internet of things is new age innovation that can be executed inexpensively. This can be actualized by simulating the IoT network in small-scale by utilizing Android application and also 4G LTE systems for real time execution. The proposed system uses various sensors to detect distinctive parameters which are regularly checked via the IoT network. And in case any parameter is triggered the system will automatically stop. Although derailment is imminent due to enormous mass of trains, the effect of the crash can be definitely improved by immediate mediation of IoT network. These systems will likewise lessen the overload on government on maintenance and safety related issues of existing framework with lower expenses. These systems also vulnerable to hacking by external factors and one time password system is also used for security. Real time tracking of parameters from base station allows systems to find train journey details such as average speed and performance parameter.
