Saving And Surviving Train (ISEF Engineering Project)

Saving And Surviving Train

Individual ISEF project

Proposed a complete redesign of Egypt’s railway infrastructure to reduce cost, improve safety, and minimize human-error accidents.

Reduced the estimated railway construction cost per kilometer from 21 million EGP to 8.5 million EGP by introducing an alternative track system inspired by modern international road construction.

Suggested replacing traditional iron wheels with airless skid-steer rubber tires, improving stability, reducing friction-related failures, and enhancing durability.

Proposed replacing iron rails and sublayers with a steel-paved road-based track design, reducing maintenance cost and increasing system lifespan.

Designed and implemented a Line Follower Robot / Smart Car prototype to simulate automated train guidance and demonstrate how autonomous navigation can reduce operational errors.

Focused on achieving safer transportation through automation, real-time control, and smarter railway design, leading to expected results such as fewer accidents, lower infrastructure costs, longer lifetime, and increased investment attraction.
