Recent Advancements on Design and Development of Multi Drop Auto-Walk
6. CONCLUSIONS
In this work mainly concentrated on developing a solution for the transportation on go over bridge in railway station and successfully designed and developed a prototype model of multi drop auto system where the passengers can get down at the intermediate stops to take over there trains in different platforms of the railway station. Install these types of devices in busy areas the people flow we can achieved a quick, sale & comfortable transportation for the people in a mega structures like airport, bus stand, railway station, museums etc. Consider a scenario where the technology solution seems to be mandatory for use like handicapped person need to take the train from one of the intermediate platform. so as he enters the railway station, he can either use the battery car if the distance from platform to escalator or elevator is more or he can use the lift/escalator immediately to reach the top of the over bridge. Immediately he can step into the multi drop off and get down near the entry of respective platform again from top of bridge he can take the escalator to reach down to the platform.
Thus the modern technologies provide a comfort solution in transportation. No doubt the development and advancement in technology and the simultaneous growth in people modern lifestyle always give a way for a demand in solution for a better lifestyle. And this attempt will give be a mark on development path meeting such need.
