The Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is a critical advancement in ensuring safety within the extensive Indian Railways network. This paper presents a comprehensive examination of TCAS, emphasizing its pivotal role in preventing collisions and enhancing operational efficiency contributing to smart city initiative. It integrates hardware like GPS, RFID tags and software components to monitor train movements in real-time. It provides precise movement authority and activates automatic braking when unsafe situations are detected. The potential of TCAS to collaborate with autonomous trains integrating artificial intelligence for proactive collision avoidance measures. The challenges include integration, maintenance, budget constraints and cybersecurity.
