ISRO has created wonders in the space history of India. This is one more gem into the crown. ISRO is going to launch a chip system that will alert the civilians to get the information about the trains passing through the given unmanned railway crossing. On the other hand, this chip provides real-time updates of the trains. As an initial prototype, the Mumbai-Guwahati Rajadhani express will be embedded with this system.
This system warns the users around the unmanned railway level with hooters, whenever a train is approaching. As far as this trial run route is considered, there will be 20 such unmanned railway crossings, which will be undergoing rigorous testing in real-time. Once the attempt is successful, many other trains will be equipped with the system.
This chip activates hooter when the train at a distance of 500m from the crossing. Also, the magnitude of hoot will be increasing as the train comes into the proximity of the crossing and finally diminishes as the train crosses.
Indian railway system is one of the largest railways systems in the world, out of which 10,000 level crossings are unmanned. 40% out of the railway accidents are being caused by these stations and this implementation of ISRO is expected to improve the safety of these crossings.
During the year 2014-15, Indian railways have eliminated 1,148 unmanned crossing, which was 1,253 for the year 2015-16. For the year 2016-17, the Indian government is going to eradicate every single unmanned crossings across the country.
The other side of the coin is more useful with this tracking chip. There has been several mishaps in the recent times during train journey. With the advent of advanced technology, the Indian government can also address them effectively and save people on time.

There will be hooters at 20 unmanned level crossings on Rajdhani routes for Guwahati and Mumbai, - A senior railway ministry official involved with the project.Besides the safety at the unmanned crossings, these systems help to get the real-time tracking of a particular train. Though there are many systems that track the location of a train, these are not 100% efficient; with this chip, a user can get minute-to-minute status of the train.
