An Electronics security system for railway compartment obviously means a system to reduce the accidents happening in the railway compartment with the present system. And the most popular of the accidents is the accidents caused to the passengers standing near the doors of compartment, while the train is moving. And another approach may be to propose a system that could would warn the loco pilot when there is any miss alignment in the connection between each compartments.
For the first approach u may need to design an automated door that will close automatically before the train starts moving. This could be implemented by integrating the door to an accelerometer, where the door closes when the train starts moving and opens only when the train is back at rest. Many other safety features can be added to it like there is a warning system that alarms when there is a person in front of the door when it is closing and closes only after the person has moved away from the door. This could be implemented using a circuit similar to burglar alarm. The closing of the doors can also be done simply as a centralized switch with the loco pilot to close all the doors.
Another approach may be a warning system, that alerts the loco pilot when the interconnection between the two adjacent compartment is getting looser. This can be done using a pressure sensor so that the pressure variations that might happen during a miss alignment of the interconnection can be reported to the loco pilot.
