Automatic Railway Gate Control System

The document describes an automatic railway gate system that uses an Arduino-based embedded system to reduce gate closing and opening times, increase reliability over manual operation, and enhance safety. The system uses IR sensors to detect approaching and departing trains and triggers buzzers, lights and a motor to close and open the gates accordingly. It aims to replace manually operated gates.

Project Objective:

Provide an automatic railway gate at and crossing and 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.

Embedded System:
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
 Power supply
 Buzzer
 LED
 DC motor
 IR Sensors
 Motor Driver

Software:
 Arduino Software
Working:

 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.
 After passing the level crossing the opposite sensors detect the departure
of the train. So Arduino get again another signal from the sensors for
stopping buzzers and opening the gates.
 After 1 minutes of stopping buzzer Arduino sent a signal to the motor
driver to open the gate.
