Abstract: This proposed system is an autonomous train and it eliminates the need of any driver. Thus, any human error is ruled out. In this project microcontroller from 8051 family has been used as CPU. Whenever the train arrives at the station it stops automatically, as sensed by an IR sensor. Then the door opens automatically so that the passengers can go inside the train. The door then closes after a prescribed time set. It is also equipped with a passenger counting section, which counts the number of passengers leaving and entering the train. The door closes when it reaches maximum occupancy level irrespective of time allotted for the door to remain open. The passenger status is displayed on a LCD as interfaced to the microcontroller. The movement of the train is controlled by a motor driver IC interfaced to the microcontroller. When the limit of the passengers so set is crossed then the buzzer will start emitting sound.
