A Review Paper on "Smart Railway Crossing using Microcontroller

International Journal of Engineering Research and, 2020

The main purpose of this research paper is to reduce the railway accidents occurring at the level crossings (Intersection Points). Railway is the vast mode of the transportations in India and it is the cheapest way for travelling. So there are more numbers of rail users and it is not easy to stop railway anywhere to obstruct accident, due to that there are major drawbacks of that. At present anunmanned system is available at level crossings and hence, lots of accidents occur at such crossings, since there is no one to take responsibility of the functioning of the railway gate when a train reaching the crossing. The objective of this research paper is to handle and control the system of railway gate by applying the microcontroller. This model includes infrared (IR) sensors, radio frequency indication device (RFID), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD),Light-emitting diode (LED), Lights, buzzer, motor driver and microcontroller. In the self-regulating railway gate control system, at the level crossing the meeting of the train is identify by the IR sensor and RFID placed close to the gate. In case of RFID it identifies only meeting of train. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates and reduces the human labor. As the whole system is automated fault occurring due to manual operation are restricted because the corrected of automated operation is more than the manned operation. Side sensor activated and the signal about the removal is sent to the microcontroller and motor turns in further direction and gate opens and motor shut down automatically.

When the train arrives the sensor detects it and servo barrier blo...

Railway Crossing Automation using Infrared Sensor

International Journal of Linguistics and Computational Applications

As we came across many newspapers, many accidents that are made in unmanned level crossings. The trains running on same track are also the cause of major accidents at railways crossing. In both of the cases, human loss and damage to the train are the results [1]. In this paper, we proposed an automatic railway gate operation to avoid such accidents at unmanned gate and automatic closure of unmanned gate without gate keeper. This is also developed to avoid the collision of trains running on same track. Automatic closure of unmanned gate reduces the time for which the gatekeeper closing and provides safety to the road users by reducing the accidents. In India, totally 28,607 level crossings are placed, in that 19,267 are manned & 9340 are unmanned crossings. The collision of trains running on same track is also prevented by employing infrared (IR) Transmitter. The IR system at each station receives the information and passes to a master control room [2]. IR wireless technology devices convey information of data through infrared radiation.

Automatic Railway Gate and Crossing Control based Sensors & Microcontroller

Railroad related accidents are more dangerous than other transportation accidents in terms of severity and death rate etc. Therefore more efforts are necessary for improving safety. There are many railways crossing which are unmanned due to lock of manpower needed to fulfill the demands. Hence many accidents occur at such crossing since there is no one to take care of the functioning of the railway gate when a train approaches the crossing. The main objective of this paper is to manage the control system of railway gate using 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 the two sensors placed on either side of the gate. This work utilizes two powerful magnetic sensors is fixed at upside 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 sensors 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 is closed and stays closed until the train crosses the gate and reaches after side sensors. When the side sensor activated and the signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller motor turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops automatically.

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.

Arduino Based Automatic Railway Gate Control and Obstacle Detection System

In the rapidly flourishing countries accidents in the unmanned level crossings and due to obstacle on track are increasing day by day. No fruitful steps have been taken so far in these areas. Our project deals with automatic railway gate control at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeepers and detection of obstacle on track By employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the sensors placed in the side of the tracks. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates. Detection of obstacle on railway track deals with two things, Firstly it senses the any obstacle on the track by using sensors placed on the front end of the train and Secondly, to convey the obstacle detection message to the nearby railway station through GSM technology. The proposed system uses infra red sensors to detect the arrival and departure of trains at the railway level crossing, ultrasonic sensor to detect the obstacle on the track, GSM to convey the obstacle message to the nearby railway station and Arduino to control the opening/closing of gates and to convey the obstacle message. The review of train accidents of the last 5 years (

Development of Prototype for Automation of Unmanned Railway Level Crossing System

In manual operation of gates at railway level crossings, some problems can cause malfunctioning of whole system, like due to negligence of gatekeeper, or due to lack of communication between the gatekeeper and train driver, hazardous accidents do occur. In addition, a lot of time is wasted while people have to wait for resumption of normal operation of these level crossing gates. In this paper an automated system for these railway level crossings has been developed. It is a microcontroller-based research and employs electronic sensors, which sense the arrival or the departure of train, and then the gates are operated respectively. Before the operation of gates, people around the scene are alarmed regarding the motion of train via traffic signal, an alarm and a LCD screen. In this way, relatively less time is consumed in the operation of gates and the chances of mishaps due to error of gatekeeper are omitted. It is cheaper in cost and user friendly compared to manual system. Due to the advantages stated earlier, it can be deployed anywhere around the world easily.
