Earlier and even now, they are transferred by many methods like Foot-over bridges and escalators. But all these methods are time consuming and slow. These methods are good in general use, but on platforms these cannot be used, as these methods will complicate the transportation and will disrupt the free movement of the people on platforms. So, here our aim is to design a system or device which will be able to transfer the handicapped people from one platform to another, within the given constraints and should also comply with the societies’ exiting conditions. In order to reduce these difficulties, the concept of flexible bridge across the railway platform is proposed. The main aim of the present work is to provide the flexible bridge for the railway platforms in order to overcome these difficulties in the usage of foot-over bridges in railway stations. In this project, it is proposed to design a flexible bridge between the platforms across the railway track which works by the functioning of sensors, micro-controller and DC motor.
