Abstract: With rapid improvement in technology most of the industries are updating to automated technology in order to decrease the workload on man today. Along with this it eliminates the chances of error which man makes seldom, decreases costing, and improves efficiency. Automated metro is one such option in today’s world which can reduce the congestion in railway network caused by human error and also ensure efficient use of power and time. The prototype of the automated train will make use of the popular RFID technology to mark arrival of stations i.e. the RFID tags will be placed on the head of the train and readers will be placed near to stations so that whenever the train approaches the station, the station reader can read the train tag and mark the arrival of train which will then slow down the train and make it stop at the platform. It will have its core on Arduino Mega, it will be continuously tracked using GSM Module, IR modules installed on the doors will keep a track on the number of passengers and LCD display Unit will be installed in the train compartment to keep the passengers notified about the arrival and departure from a station. In case of any technical faults the control room will be immediately updated using the GSM Module and Emergency Breaks installed in the train will be applied, also smoke detectors will be installed to check any kind of short circuits or fire in the train. Should RFID fail in the worse conditions, a backup facility to stop the train will be cut off of electric supply in the railway track.
