Zigbee Based Energy Based Conservation in Railways

Abstract

Abstract- Current railway tunnel lighting control systems are often manually controlled, resulting in significant energy waste. This article designs a zigbee based control for tunnel lighting energy control systems. The system uses solar energy lighting, so the zigbee based system is designed for solar lights. It deals with automatic railway gate operation at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeepers .This system has been deployed in Europe at the Antwerp North-South junction since past 4 years. The performance results show that the energy conservation system provides sufficient lighting levels and significant energy conservation and automatic gate control.
