Model Train Controlled by Computer with Web Interface
Smažinka, Petr ; Maršík, Lukáš (referee) ; Zemčík, Pavel (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis was to study the existing methods of controlling model railways, to analyse them and then to propose a new method of wireless control. An important feature of the new control method is the train recognition method, where the track is continuously scanned by a camera, which in real time recognizes the trains on the track according to their movement and at the same time performs their identification by means of a unique code transmitted by each train using an infrared diode. The work also aimed to build a minimalistic and clear web-based user interface to control the whole system. The entire system is fully functional, allows manual and semi-automatic operation and supports the simultaneous running of multiple locomotives, including automatic control of traffic lights, journey planning and switch changes. During the implementation, performance limitations of the hardware used were found to prevent the decoding of the addresses transmitted by the infrared diodes. Only motion analysis is used to detect trains, but this proved to be sufficient during testing.
