Abstract:
 The main aim of this project is to automate railway track pedestrian crossing without use
staircase & announce the status of the arrival for platform users. In this system is also used to
avoid accident problems. Because, now a days train accidents are occurring frequently in India.

This project identifies the status of each train using IR transceivers and informs it to
microcontroller. So this project is useful for railway departments. The recent survey from the
social analytics was said that the most disadvantages in Indian railway is climbing up the
overhead steps for the physically challenged people. Our proposed system mainly deals with the
rectification of this disadvantage. Here we introducing the new concept of artificial railway
platform. For the successful approach we are using two sensors and for the execution we are
using H-bridge and for the controlling operations we are using microcontroller.

When the train comes near the artificial platform, the proximity sensor senses the train
and gives informs to the microcontroller. So that the platform is not connected during the arrival
of the train.

When the train is far away from the artificial platform the signal is given to
Microcontroller, then the output signal from the controller is send to H -Bridge. Then platform is
connected to allow people to walk from one platform to another easily without any strain of
climbing stairs. All the information is available in web using IoT module interfaced to the
controller.
