AUTOMATIC RAILAWAY GATE

CONTROLLOER
ABSTRACT

Now a days traffic is one of the major problem in the same way the crossing of railway gates is also a
tedious job for normal people they have to wait for a long time even before and after arrival and
departure of trains in rapidly flourishing country like India ,accidents in the unmanned level crossings
are increasing day by day at present in level crossings the railway gate is operated by a gate keeper
after receving the information about the trains arrival.so by using arudino we developed a project on
automatic railway gate controller

INTRODUCTION

About a million people have died over the past 5 years in unmanned railway crossings all over the
world. At least 1/3rd of the railway crossings are unmanned due to their remote placement and less
traffic. The Automatic Railway Gate Control System using IR Sensor & Arduino focuses on
systematic traffic control of railway gates that are both manned and unmanned. This project will not
only make the system more reliable & precise, but also save the authorities from hiring man power to
do the job. You may take it as a onetime investment.

The Automatic Railway Gate Control System Project makes use of an Arduino Nano to control the
whole circuit. Two Servo motors are used to open and close the railway gates. Four IR sensors are
used for sensing the arrival or departure of train. The main objective is to close the railway gates when
the train approaches it, so as to block vehicles from going across the track. As soon as the train moves
further away from the railway crossing, the gates must automatically open to allow vehicles to cross
by.

ADVANTAGES
1. Automatic railway gate control system reduces the time for which gate remains closed
2. The type of gates can be employed in unmanned level crossing where the chances of
accident is higher and reliable operation is required
3. Automatic operation prevents errors due to manual operation
4. Lastly, no human resource is required. This makes its running cost very low compared to
manned gates.

APPLICATIONS
 AUTOMATIC RAILAWAY GATE
CONTROLLOER
1.An Automatic Railway Gate Control is implemented with very simple hardware and easy
control.

2.Human intervention at level crossings can be removed with the help of this project and
many railway level crossing accidents can be prevented

CONCLUSION
Automating railway gates will be the significant step forward. This articles present the
already available technology which can be put to work. Provided projects provides
the fundamental concepts and principles of this system which can be further used to
create new designs to target the limitations of current designs such as cost and
energy needs..
