    This document provides details about an automatic railway gate controller project. The project aims to automatically open and close railway gates using sensors to detect approaching and passing trains, removing the need for human gatekeepers. It will use infrared sensors placed on either side of the gate linked to a microcontroller to control a motor that opens and closes the gate. When the first sensor detects an approaching train, the gate will close, and when the train passes the second sensor, the gate will reopen. The document outlines the objectives, methodology, requirements, budget, and potential applications and limitations of the system.

    Project Overview / Background:

    Introduction:

    Automatic Railway Gate Control System is a simple but beneficial project, which help is automatically
    open and close the railway gate upon detecting arrival or departure of the train. In general, Railway gates
    are opened or closed manually by a gatekeeper. The information about the train's arrival for opening or
    closing the door remains received from the nearby station. But some railway crossings are unattended,
    and many railway accidents occur at these lone level crossings. Therefore, to avoid human intervention at
    level crossings altogether, we need to automate the process of railway gate control.

    Need of Work / Reason for selection of this project:

    Present work remains designed using an 8051 microcontroller to avoid railway accidents happening at
    unattended railway gates if implemented in spirit. This project utilizes two powerful I.R. transmitters and
    two receivers; one pair of transmitters and receiver is fixed at up side (from where the train comes) at a
    level higher than a human being in exact alignment. Similarly, the other pair remains selected at the
    downside of the train direction. Sensor activation time remains adjusted by calculating the time taken at a
    certain speed to cross at least one compartment of a standard minimum size of the Indian railway.

    Objective:

    Nowadays, India is the country that has the world's largest railway network. Over hundreds of railways
    running on track every day. It is impossible to stop the running train immediately if some critical situation
    or emergency arises. Hence, train accidents have severe consequences of loss of human life, injury, damage
    to Railway property. The concept of the model is to control the railway gate using a microcontroller or anti-
    collision technique.

    Block diagram with explanation:

    The two I.R. sensors remain placed at the left and right sides of the railway gate. The distance between
    the two I.R. sensors is dependent on the length of the train. In general, we have to consider the longest
    train on that route. Now we'll see how this circuit works in real-time. In this image, we can see the real-
    time representation of this project. If sensor 1 detects the train's arrival, the microcontroller starts the
    motor with the help of the motor driver to close the gate. The gate remains closed as the train passes the
    crossing. When the train crosses the gate and reaches the second sensor, it detects the train, and the
    microcontroller will open the gate.

    Methodology:

    Proposed Techniques or methods to be implemented:

    A Reflective type I.R. Sensor remains used in this project. In Reflective Type I.R. Sensor, the I.R.
    transmitter and receiver remain placed side by side. Therefore, when there is no obstacle in front of the
    sensor, the I.R. rays transmitted by the I.R. Transmitter will travel undetected as no rays fall on the I.R.
    Receiver. However, if there is an obstacle in front of the I.R. Transmitter and Receiver pair, the I.R. Rays
    get reflected off the obstacle's surface and are incident on the I.R. Receiver. This setup can remain
    configured to detect an object similar to a Train and can stay used to switch ON or OFF the similar load's
    motors with the help of a microcontroller.

    Project Flowchart:
    Advantages:

    An Automatic Railway Gate Control remains implemented with simple hardware and easy control.
    Human intervention at level crossings can remain removed with the help of this project, and many railway
    level crossing accidents can remain prevented. Reduces the chances of human error. Less time-
    consuming. No human resource is required. Safety and quality of services Accident avoidance

    Limitations:

    The system can remain implemented more efficiently by incorporating a more efficient sensor network. A
    combination of manual wireless control and sensors based control can remain used for better operation.

    Applications:
    They remain used in automatically opening and closing the railway gate upon detecting the arrival or
    departure of the train.

    Microcontroller, Quartz Crystal, Ceramic Capacitor, Electrolytic Capacitor, Resistors, Programmer Board,
    I.R. Sensor, Motor Driver I.C. and Motor.
