1. Intelligent remote monitoring & Alert system for outdoor Signalling gears

Innovator: S&T Department/Mysore & M/s Energy7 Bengalore. Breif Description: Intelligent remote monitoring & alert system for outdoor signalling gears consists of IoT devices with requisite sensors, Webserver and Cloud computing system. IoT devices with requisite sensors are placed at the location boxes which will communicate wirelessly to the centrally located Webserver at Station through 867MHz unlicensed RF frequency spectrum. IoT devices and Webserver communicate with RS485 modbus protocol (wireless protocol); each IoT device can handle up to 10 channels with a data rate of 9.6 kbps per channel; multiple IoT devices can be connected at location to handle more than 10 channels. One Webserver can connect up to 255 IoT devices. Webserver gathers the data from all connected IoT devices and it will post the data to Cloud continuously. Webserver and cloud server are connected through 3G/4G network or Railnet network or any other network. In build logic is embedded in Cloud server for each Signalling gear, in case of any parameter degradation it will trigger SMS alert to the field officials for enabling predictive maintenance or so as to attend the Signalling gears. In addition Web based platform enables the users to monitor and analyse the health condition of Signalling Gears remotely using Desktop PC or Mobile Phone.

3. Smart UMLC Warning system using LoRa

Innovator: S&T Department/Mysore /Mysore & M/s Navenate. Brief Description: Main objective of this system is to alert the Road users at Un manned Level crossing gates while approach of Train. It mainly consisting of Loco device, UMLC device and Gateway device. LoCo device is kept inside Engine which will transmit its’s GPS location every second, LC device is kept near Unmanned lc at an height of 10 – 15 feet and Gateway is installed at a convenient location, higher the Gateway longer is the range. As the train with LoCo device enters the Geofencing area data is sent to server. Server does the analysis if train has entered Geo-Fenced area or not. If train has entered Geo fenced area, then an indication is sent to LC Warning device. An audio visual warning will be started till the train leave Geo-Fenced area. The defining of Geo-fence is based on train speed, the key point to be addressed is, Warning has to start 30 seconds prior to train at LC which is done by calculating speed and distance of LC from Train For details please contact: Shri D. Sreenivasulu DSTE/MYS. CUG No. 9731667801.
