Design and Implementation of Non- Stopping Electric Train System

Abstract

This project concerned with study and design of electric train system work inside large cities without stopping in the stations but decrease its speed only. The passengers get up the train and left it automatically by connector cabins. The main goal of this project is to gain the lost time due to frequent stopping at the stations, also provide sufficient time for passengers to get up or left the train without congestion and save the lost power due to stop and start. The challenge is to design a model to perform the same tasks. When the train enter the station, the connecter cabin separate from the train and run on the platform railway and stop by the electromagnetic brake. The lifting cabin will be in the end of the platform it will connect to the train by electromagnetic brake. The result of this thesis modify the train body, design connector cabins, build an elevated platform in the station to exchange the connector cabins between the train and the station. A control circuit was designed. Components used in the design and the implementation of the system are Arduino Uno controller, limit switches, DC motor, L239D Motor drivers and Relays. The Arduino C programming language has been used for programming the system, and Proteus simulation program has been used for circuit’s simulation. The practical tests showed that the non-stopping electric train works as planned
