Abstract

A computerized railroad marshalling system is presented in this report which is cost effective not only in manufacturing operation but also in maintenance. The system is completely automatic from the point of identification of bogie and its contents, retarder application, velocity measurement to track destination. It completely checks the system operation including the retarder failure. In case the retarder fails the bogie is sent to a special track and warning is sent to the engine driver not to a sent another bogie till the retarder is repaired.
