The document describes an automatic railway gate control system that uses sensors and a microcontroller to open and close railway gates automatically based on the detection of trains. When the first sensor detects an approaching train, the microcontroller activates a servo motor to close the gate. When the train passes the second sensor, the gate is reopened. The system aims to improve railway safety by preventing accidents caused by inaccurate gate operation. It discusses the components used, including Arduino, IR sensors, a servo motor and more. It also compares the system to alternatives using technologies like GSM, Bluetooth and Android.

INTRODUCTION

Automatic railway gate control


system is an arrangement of physical
components which sense the arrival
of the train and make the gate pull up
and pull down automatically.
To avoid the accidents, sensors
placed at some distance from the
gate detect the departure of the
train.
MOTIVATION OF THE PROJECT
This system will help to improve the safety of
railway management and reduce the chances of the
accidents due to inaccurate opening and closing of
gates. Security is the major concern for everyone.
PROBLEM OF STATEMENT
Railway safety is a crucial aspect of rail
operation over the world. When we go
through newspapers, we come across
many railway accidents occurring at
different railway level crossings and
many people are dying.
The place where rail track and
highway/road intersects each other at
the same level is known as “level
crossing”.
BLOCK DIAGRAM
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
PRINCIPLE
Practically, the two IR sensors are placed at left and right side of the
railway gate. The distance between the two IR sensors is dependent
on the length of the train. In general we have to consider the longest
train in that route.
If the sensor 1 detects the arrival of the train, microcontroller starts
the motor with the help of motor driver in order to close the gate.
When the train crosses the gate and reaches second sensor, it detects
the train and the microcontroller will open the gate
COMPONENTS REQUIRED

ARDUINO UNO
SERVO MOTOR
IR SENSOR
JUMPER WIRES
BATTERY TRAIN
BREAD BOARD
DC ADAPTER
USB CABLE FOR UPLOADING CODE
ARDUINO UNO
The Automatic Railway crossing
using Arduino Project makes use of
an Arduino UNO to manage the
whole circuit

It increases the readability of the


code.
It conceives and organizes the
program.
It reduces the chances of errors
are some functions.
IR SENSOR
An IR sensor can measure the
heat of an object as well as
detects the motion.

When the train arrives the first IR


sensor detects it and the servo
barrier blocks the crossing and
when the second sensor detects
that the train goes away the servo
barrier opens. In this way, the
system works
SERVOMOTOR

The servo motor is a small and


effective motor and it can be used
in some serious applications like
precise position control.

Servomotors are used in the gate


because it is very easy to use and
does not require any driver IC or
circuit.
DC ADAPTER TO POWER
THE ARDUINO

A power supply adapter that


provides from 7 to 12V (Volts)
of DC (Direct Current) is
required
PROPOSED
TECHNOLOGIES
The automatic gate control system can be implemented
using different technologies such as GSM, Bluetooth, and
Android.
NODE MCU vs ARDUINO

Power supply from the ESP8266 boards are between 2.5 V


to 12 V based on the different boards and Arduino boards
have a higher power supply between 7V and 12V.

Coding language is different


SOFTWARE
IMPLEMENTATION
• Arduino programs are written in the Arduino Integrated
Development Environment (IDE).
• Arduino IDE is a special software running on your system
that allows you to write sketches (synonym for program in
Arduino language) for different Arduino boards.
• The Arduino programming language is based on a very
simple hardware programming language called processing,
which is similar to the C language
CODING OF THE PROJECT
ADVANTAGES
 Automatic railway gate control systems reduce the time for
which gate remains closed.
 This type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level
crossing where the chances of accidents is higher and
reliable operation is required.
 Automatic operation prevents errors due to manual
operation.
DISADVANTAGES

 To establish the entire network, it is quite a costly task


 In a real time, the issues of the government cost doesn't
matter a lot.
 The Arduino board is a delicate device, so that it has to
be handled carefully.
PROTOTYPE MODEL
CONCLUSION

I. Automatic gate control system an effective way to reduce


the occurrence of railway accidents.
II. This system can contribute a lot of benefit either to the
road users or to the railway management.
