FYP PROGRESS - WEEK 5

PROBLEM STATEMENT

In Malaysia, as we know, we have many type of train operating in our country such as KTMB, LRT, MONOREL and other. Sadly, the system and the train itself are build or using other country technical expertise where we rely too much to other country in locomotive field. Not just in train manufacturing industry, but also in the train operation system. It also consume to much cost when we using outside expertise for the train’s field and even until now, we still had huge debt with other country for train and railway construction, and in few month before, we signed a new project of railway construction in Malaysia  with the china which cost more than 50 billion ringgit. Thus, with this domination in the locomotive filed by other country it made us thinking about how crucial a locomotive industry that affect our country and has given an idea to implement and review a basic electric train system for studies.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY

·           To study the electric train traction concept using arduino

·           To observe the auto gate crossing controlling system

·           To learn about train traction operation concept.
