Automation of Railway Gate Control Using Microcontroller

There are many railway crossings which are unmanned due to lack of manpower, needed to fulfill the demands. Hence, many accidents occur at such crossings, since there is no one to take care of the functioning of the railway gate when a train approaches the crossing.The objective of this paper is to manage the control system of railway gate using the microcontroller. The proposed model has been designed using 8052 microcontroller to avoid railway accidents occurring at unattended railway gates, if implemented detection of train approaching the gate can be sensed by means of two sensors placed on either side of the gate. This work utilizes two powerful magnetic sensors; one of these magnetic sensors is fixed at upside (from where the train comes) and similarly the other magnetic sensor is fixed at down side of the train direction. Sensors are fixed on both sides of the gate. We call the sensor along the train direction as 'foreside sensor' and the other as 'after side sensor'. When foreside sensor gets activated, the sensed signal is sent to the microcontroller and the gate motor is turned on in one direction by relay driver and the gate is closed and stays closed until the train crosses the gate and reaches after side sensors. When after side sensor gets activated and the signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller, motor turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops.

Automatic railway gate control system

The objective of this paper is to provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeeper. The system reduces the time for which the gate remains closed. This type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level crossing where the chances of accidents are higher and reliable operation is required. Since, the operation is automatic, error due to manual operation is prevented. The system works on a microcontroller based control.The proposed system uses PIC16f877a microcontroller. With

Automatic Railway Gate Management System with 8051 Micro-Controller

The purpose of this article is to replace human-operated gates with an automatic one-level railroad gate. There are two things: on the one hand it is about reducing the closing time of the door and on the other hand ensuring safety by reducing accidents. Under the current system, as soon as the train departs from the station, the porter is informed by the station master by telephone about the arriving train. As soon as the porter has received the details about the train, he closes the door which depends on when the train arrives. So if the train arrives late for some reason, causing the door to remain closed over a long time, thereby causing huge amounts of traffic. By automating the system, the arrival of the train is detected using the sensors.

Enhancing security by Automatic Railway Gate Control using Microcontroller and IR Sensor

This paper is concerned with the automatic railway gate control operation which is implemented in unmanned level crossings at remote areas by detecting a train approaching. To do that the gate is sensed by means of infrared ray (IR) sensor placed on either side of the railway. This system uses microcontroller with the help of IR sensors. Automatic railway gate control is highly sensor based arrangements which is designed to use in almost all the unmanned level crossing in the train crossing system. The microcontroller forms the main unit of the system. It receives input signal from the IR sensors and sends information to the gate motor driver for opening and closing the gate. Due to automatic operation the error is negligible as compared to manual operation. Railway gate may be saved for the road users to prevent accidents in terms of train speed at level crossing. Since the closing time of automatic gate control is less as compared to the manually operated gates so it provides highly safety to the road users by reducing the accidents.
