Abstract: Railways network in India is the largest transportation facility, daily millions of people use them because of their less expensive operation. Besides its advantages, there are a few disadvantages such as the disposal of litter on track. Litter disposal has emerged as a challenging task for the railway department, especially for the sanitary workers of the railway department. In many areas, track cleaning is done manually with zero or less precautionary measures. The process of litter management, from the process of collection to dumping, has become one of the toughest and most time-consuming tasks for sanitary or cleaning workers. The concept of an autonomous trash cleaning bot is a level up from standard garbage collection methods. This cost-effective device replaces manual litter collection. In this project, the proposed concept of an automated railway lane cleansing machine contains an autonomous bot with four major components Trash management unit, a control unit, a motor unit, and a power supply. The trash collecting unit is made up of three sub- units collection storage and disposal in which the collection sub-unit is equipped with two rotating brushes which intake the trash and send it to the storage sub-unit and the storage sub-unit also acts as a disposal unit that can be lifted using a spur gear and stopped at a certain point using stop switch and the trash can be disposed of using another standard trash collection vehicle outside the track. This bot makes the trash collection process even simpler because of its small size, easy operation methods, and can easily be lifted on and off the track using a manual stacker.
