This paper presents an alternative for the Track Circuit and the Axle Counter which are used currently by the Indian Railways to find the presence and details of the train. Load Cell replaces the track circuit and the RFID technology is used to detect the train’s number from which the details of train are retrieved. Using this, the number of wagons in a train can also be detected. The various studies and experiments showed that this method uses less power in comparison with the conventional style.
