<br/><br/> The Enhanced Personnel Safety Motion Indicator for Railway Stabling Depot Hazardous<br/>Zones is designed to enhance safety in areas with limited visibility, where the risk of<br/>oversight and lack of cautionary measures poses potential dangers to personnel. If a train<br/>operator fails to detect personnel in these blind spots, accidents may occur. To mitigate<br/>these risks, the prototype integrates a Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor to detect personnel<br/>presence, activating a Rotating LED and an Audible Alarm to alert both the personnel<br/>and train operator. Moreover, a camera surveillance system provides real-time<br/>monitoring, transmitting live footage to the train operator’s display monitor and the<br/>personnel overseeing the stabling area. Comprehensive testing was conducted to ensure<br/>the system’s effectiveness. The researchers performed various assessments, including<br/>sensor activation, detection accuracy at different angles, LED visibility in day and night<br/>conditions, audibility tests, push-button functionality, battery capacity, and CCTV clarity<br/>in different lighting conditions. Results showed that the PIR sensor effectively detects<br/>movement within a 2 to 6-meter range, an ideal distance for triggering safety measures.<br/>The Rotating LED is visible up to 16 meters, ensuring train operators are promptly<br/>alerted to take necessary precautions, including verifying personnel status via CCTV<br/>before proceeding. The prototype was evaluated by 10 university professors and 20<br/>students using TUP’s standard evaluation instrument for functionality, usability, and<br/><br/>efficiency. It received an overall mean score of 4.57, indicating that it is functional, user-<br/>friendly, and easy to operate. In conclusion, the Safety Motion Indicator has been proven<br/><br/>effective in enhancing railway depot safety, based on rigorous testing and evaluation.<br/><br/>Keyword: PIR Sensor, Railway Safety, Stabling Area, Display Monitor, Arduino IDE
