Automatic Train Running Information System

Abstract

The main objective of our project is to design an automatic train running passenger information system. The first step in achieving this was to establish connections between the trains arriving and leaving the station, and the base station in the station. We were able to establish wireless communication within the station premises, between the trains and base station.
The platform on which the basic format of communication in a station scenario was simulated was Qualnet. We used the SIMADO GSM Modem in the role of base station in the station and then we took the help of Nokia Mobile Browser and Nokia WAP Gateway Simulator to establish connection between base station and the server. We were able to update the information using WAP Gateway Simulator.
Then, we interfaced the NWGS with MS Access Database to get the HTTP information received to get it updated and maintained in a database. Then, this database was interfaced with Netbeans to generate live Railway Timetable. We used three JAVA programs each for creating server, client and train information used for this purpose. Then we made use of VBA code to connect database with multiple trains in different stations.
