ZigBee based system presented here for Railways is designed to avoid train accidents due to derailment caused by track discontinuation. The set of encrypted ZigBee modules, i.e. ZigBee transmitters and ZigBee receivers are used in the proposed design. Transmitters are placed near the railway track at regular intervals and receivers are placed at locomotive that is train engine. The advantage of the design proposed in this research paper is that if any train is running over a track and discontinuity of the track takes place due to any possible reason then the train passing through that track will automatically get stopped. Also the system is designed in such a way that at the time of track discontinuation, in addition to train stopping an alarming buzzer signal will also be sent to the control room of nearby station. The Train module, ZigBee Module, Track Side Transmitter Module, Actuating Module and Braking Module are incorporated together to form system for accident avoidance due to derailment of trains caused by discontinuities present in the tracks.
