Design and Construction of a micro-controller based automated railway gate control system (original) (raw)

Abstract

This paper reflects on the automation of the control of railway gate using micro-controller. A complete prototype is designed and constructed that contained several sensors on both sides of the railway gate to provide necessary input data related to gate closure into micro-controller, which then sends signal into the gate control system for immediate opening or closing of railway gate. For input sensors Lasers are used on both sides combined with LDR. For all the data processing Arduino (UNO) is used for overall simplicity. This automated system can be used in faraway places where human recruitment for manual gate control is much problematic and unreliable.
