The document proposes an automatic railway gate system using an Arduino board to replace manually operated gates. The system would use IR sensors to detect approaching trains and signal the Arduino. The Arduino would then activate warning lights and a buzzer, close the gates after 2 minutes using a motor driver, and reopen the gates after 1 minute once the train has passed, based on signals from opposite IR sensors detecting train departure. This automatic system could reduce gate operation time and prevent accidents compared to a manual gate system.

Provide an automatic railway gate at a Level crossing &
replacing the gates operated by the gatekeeper to:

 Reduce the time for closing and opening the gates.


 Higher reliability as it is not subjected to manual errors.
 Provide safety to the road users by reducing the
accidents.
An embedded system is :

 A microcontroller / microprocessor based system that is


built to control the functions of equipment, machinery
or plant.

 Combination of hardware and software for specific


application.
 Hardware :
 Arduino Uno R3 board
 Power Supply
 Buzzer
 LED as Light Signals
 DC motor
 IR Obstacle Sensors
 L293D Motor Driver
 Software :
 Arduino Software (IDE)
 The arrival of train is detected by the sensors placed on either side of
the gate at about 1 km from the gates.

 Once the sensors sense the train, the signal is sent to Arduino.

 Subsequently, buzzer indication and light signals on either side are


provided to the road users indicating the closure of gates.

Continue…..
 After 2 minutes of indicating light signal & buzzer indication,
Arduino sent a signal to the motor driver to operate the motor and
close the gate.

 After passing the level crossing the opposite sensors detect the
departure of the train. So Arduino get again another signal fr0m the
sensors for stopping buzzer & opening the gates.

 After 1 minutes of stopping buzzer Arduino sent a signal to the


motor driver to open the gate.

What is Arduino ?
 Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use
hardware and software.Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light
on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it
into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing
something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a
set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you
have to use the Arduino programming language (based onWiring),
and the Arduino Software (IDE).
In our project we use IR sensor
IR Sensors work by using a specific light sensor to detect a select light wavelength
in the Infra-Red (IR) spectrum. By using an LED which produces light at the same
wavelength as what the sensor is looking for, you can look at the intensity of the
received light. When an object is close to the sensor, the light from the LED
bounces off the object and into the light sensor. This results in a large jump in the
intensity.
 As the IR obstacle sensor can sense all objects come in
front of it, it might send false signal even if there is any
object other than a train.
 So in real-life, we recommend to use the frequency of
the railway lines when a train appears as the signal to
control the gate.
 As we used a toy train in this project, we could not
measure the frequency of the lines, so we use the IR
obstacle sensors.
