Abstract: In earlier systems during summer and high-temperature seasons faulty detection of temperature sensors will occur due to high heat, meanwhile, gas /smoke sensor that had been used also considers the external environment smoke in the air as compartment. These wrong signals from the sensors to the controller will cause unwanted enabling of the buzzer, wrong information to the locomotive pilot, unwanted chaos, and delay of trains. This involves confusion to the total railway system. The proposed method provides faster communication using Zigbee and enables the rescuing methodology while fire accidents on the train by utilizing gas/smoke sensors integrated with LM35 along with automated fire suppression systems. In this method there are many suction ducts will be present at each partition of the train compartment along with CO2 fire extinguisher for fire suppression. If the temperature is greater than 80ºC and the output value from the gas and the smoke sensor senses the smoke then the Arduino gives the command to enable buzzer, alerting signal to Zigbee network, fire extinguisher. The automatic braking system is enabled which will be utilized to split the fired compartment from the unaffected compartments, else there is no action will be taken.
