🚆 Smart Train Coach Locator

📌 Problem Statement

Passengers traveling on long-distance trains at major railway junctions often struggle to locate their coach position before the train arrives.

Platform display boards usually show:

• Train Number
• Arrival Time
• Platform Number

But they do NOT show:

• Where coaches like S6, B2, A1, or General compartments will stop.

This creates:

• Last-minute panic
• Running across crowded platforms
• Difficulty for elderly passengers & families
• Unsafe boarding situations

---

💡 Our Solution

Smart Train Coach Locator is an AI-powered railway assistance platform that helps passengers quickly identify where their coach is likely to stop on the platform.

Users simply enter:

• 🚆 Train Number
• 🎫 Coach Number

The system instantly provides:

• Front / Middle / Rear indication
• Simple visual guidance
• Recommended standing area
• Passenger-friendly explanation
