Use of Smart Toilet in Trains: An Initiative towards the Cleanliness of the Railways

Abstract

Toilets of the railways are generally seen to be as dirty one mostly in the passenger general class coaches due to the non-cleanliness or the excessive use of the toilets. These are the major source of the spread of the infection due to their non-cleanliness. So there must be a fixed period of time after which the toilets must be cleaned and toilets should be available only for the passengers having the fare ticket. In this research paper the concept of smart toilets has been proposed in which firstly only the passengers having their ticket will be able to use the toilet, the presence of the person inside the toilet will also be detected to ensure the closing and the opening of the toilet gate. This technique will be helpful in managing the toilets of the railways in a better way and will also help in the maintenance of their cleanliness.
