Commuters need not worry any more about the arrival of their destination while they are sleeping. Train passengers will be able to wake up at the right time during the journey using the proposed device by setting their desired destination. Due to the magnification in internet's growth in the last two decades, people's expectation of getting connected to the internet independent of location is much higher. Connectivity is the vital requirement of the IoT. In the particular case of trains, providing internet access to passengers on board trains makes good business sense. Communications in IoT are envisaged through protocols such as Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT). With the internet connectivity on the trains, the proposed device can access the location of the train from the NTES server and inform the commuter about the arrival of his desired destination. In some situations when the internet connectivity is missing the device uses GPS based module to get track of the location of the train. With the availability of internet connectivity inside rail coaches and even when there is no internet, we are proposing the design of an embedded device by using the GPS module in which the passenger has to just set his destination station and need not worry about missing the destination station even if in deep sleep. This Device keeps track the next station, if the next station is same as what the user has set in this proposed device, then it starts alarming to inform passengers as next station is destined for the passenger.
