Smart Railway Gate System using IOT

International Journal of Recent Trends in Engineering and Research, 2018

The automation of Railway gates at intersections crossing is very important to avoid accidents near it. At present, railway crossing gates are operated manually by gate operator. When a train leaves the station, the in-charge person of the station sends the signal/information to the gate operator about the departure and arrival of the train. The involvement of human is avoided by automating the process. If train's arrival is delayed by any reasons, the care is taken that gates are not opened for long period of time due to this it leads to the traffic jam and also wastage of time. The system uses two Infrared (IR) sensors in order to sense the arrival and going movement of the railway engine. Train's advent when detected, signal in the form of sound and warning light signal indication is given to the commuters to warn about advent of train towards me. Sensor I sense the advent of the train the warning is given in the form of red color light and the driving agent attached to the gate will start to shut the opened gate. In order to control the gate motor has been used. The gates are made to shut unless and until the train passes completely moves away from railway gate. The motor helps in lifting and shutting the gate based on coming going of the train which is done with the help of sensors. Sensors will play a vital role in automating the things along with the help of motor and arduino as a controller, raspberry.

These devices are uniquely addressable and use standard communication protocols like Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) in a networking environment. Here devices are communicating with each other without human interaction. The objective of this work is to provide an Automatic Railway Gate Controller, which operates the railway gates without gatekeeper which makes it useful for operation at level crossings. This controller deals with the reduction of time of which the gate is being kept closed and provide the safety to the road users by reducing the accidents that usually occur due to carelessness of road users and the gatekeepers. In addition to this, one more additional module is implemented for the passenger’s convenience. Here, passenger needs to register their phone number via website to get destination arrival notification. This system is cost effective, real time and automatic.

IRJET- Prevention of Railway Accidents by Automatic Gate Control Using IOT

IRJET, 2021

The goal of this project is on the way to automate the entry and close of gates at a railway crossing. A gate keeper operates level crossing gates manually in most of the cases. The gate keeper receives train arrival information from a nearby station. The nearest gate keeper gets a information by a station master before train leave the previous station. The process can be automated to eliminate the need for human intervention. When a train is late for any cause, the gates continue locked used for long periods of instance, generate a dense traffic gridlock near the gates. This, too, can be avoided by automation. Infrared sensors are used to detect train arrival and departure at the railway level crossing, and Arduino is used to operate gate opening and closing. The device uses two infrared sensors to detect the train's arrive and a IR sensor to detect the train's departure. When the arrival of the train is sensed, signals be provided to the traffic indicating the arrival of the train on the track. The indicator turns red when the second sensor detects the train, and the motor operates to close the gate. The gate remains closed until the last compartment of train completely moves away from the level cross. The traffic signal turns green and the motor runs to open the gate when the sensor detects the train's departure. As a result, sensors are used to automate the gate operation by the side of the railway level cross. To access such map options, we are using Blynk platform to provide map and navigations of train.

AUTOMATED RAILWAY MONITORING SYSTEM

IRJET, 2023

Telecommunication and computing technologies are crucial in solving real-world problems, particularly in developing countries where issues with railway-level crossings remain prevalent. The consequences of level-crossing accidents can be severe, resulting in fatalities, injuries, and vehicle damage, which can have a significant impact on a country's economy. To address this issue, an IoT-based framework for an automatic railway gate controller has been designed. The primary objective of this framework is to automate the opening and closing of railway gates upon the arrival and departure of trains, respectively, the primary objective of the proposed model is to minimize the occurrence of accidents, especially at unmonitored railway crossings. This system also reduces the time for which the gate remains closed, providing a more efficient and reliable operation. The proposed gate controller is suitable for unmanned level crossings, where accidents are more likely to occur, and manual operation errors can be prevented through the automatic operation of the system. The system operates using an Arduino-based system, which receives input signals from two sensors and sends information to the gate motor driver to open and close the gate. The arrival and departure of trains are monitored, and the gate is operated accordingly. Overall, the implementation of an automatic railway gate controller utilizing IoT technologies has the potential to significantly reduce the number of accidents at level crossings, promoting safer and more efficient transportation.

IJERT-Prevention of Railway Accidents by Automatic Gate Control and Fire Detection using IoT

International Journal of Engineering Research and Technology (IJERT), 2020

Generally railway gates are manually handled by gate keeper. The gate keeper will get the information about whether the train is coming or not, from the nearer station. Once the train leaves the station, the station incharger will gives the information about the arrival of train to the nearest gate keeper and alert him to get ready to close the gate. This human intervention can be avoided by using this system. If the arrival of the train is late due to some reason, this information will not send to the gate keeper instantly.hence the gate will remain closed until the train arrives this delay will causesthetraffic problem near the gates and makes the people get into the trouble. This will be prevented by using this system. In this system infrared sensors are used to detect the arriving and leaving of train near the railway level crossing and ArduinoUNO is used to control the operation of opening/closing of gates by using mini servomotor which is placed near the gate. Another objective of this system is to eliminate the delay in order to detect the fire attack inside the compartment by using Node MCU and GPS technology.

Automation of Railway Gate and Road traffic using Internet of Things (IoT

IRJET, 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of networked devices that may contain sensors and RFID technologies. These biases are not transportable, and they operate in network contexts using the most advanced communication protocols., such as Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Stoner Datagram Protocol (UDP), and Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). The technology then speaks without the need for human involvement. The purpose of this figure is to give an automatic road crossing regulator that operates road crossings without a gate attendant. This is useful for road crossing operations. This regulator provides road druggies with useful coffers to save time when the gate is stored unrestricted and to reduce accidents typically caused by neglectfulness of road druggies and gate attendants. In addition, fresh modules are more enforced for passenger comfort. Then, passengers need to test the quantum on their Telecel mobile phone on their website in order to make an announcement of their appearance at the resort. This tool is cheap, real-time and automatic.

Railway Inspection System Using IoT

IRJET, 2023

There has been an upsurge in railway accidents, which are mostly caused by track quandaries. That might be a misalignment, an obstacle, a crack in one of the track's sides, or some other fault with the track. So, keeping track of all these difficulties is a time-consuming chore for a person. So, we engendered an IoT-predicated Railway Inspection System that includes a sensor-equipped robot car that can identify quandaries on the track which have potential for causing railway accidents, and the sensors utilized to detect this were tilt, ultrasonic, infrared, water, and fire sensors and the movement is controlled using the Relay. Whereas live data is monitored in the mobile application using Blynk, and sensor data is sent to the database using XAMPP.

Smart Railway Track and Crossing Gate Security System Based on IoT

International Journal of Advanced Trends in Computer Science and Engineering, 2021

The railway system is one of the most widely used modes of transportation due to its low cost. To keep the railway system running smoothly, continuous track monitoring is needed. These days, the railway system is manually supervised. As a result, there is a greater risk of disasters, such as fatalities, occurring as a result of human error while monitoring. The main problem with manual system monitoring is that it takes a long time to process all of the necessary data. Since railway tracks are built over thousands of miles, it is virtually impossible to manually control the device over such a longdistance. At railway crossings, a lot of accidents happen. Crossing gates are usually opened and closed after receiving direct input from the station. If there is a delay in obtaining information from the station, there is a risk of swearing incidents. The main goal of this research is to simplify and protect the railway system. The proposed system employs Force Sensitive Resistor (FSR) detectors for automatic side road crossing protection. Any type of breakage, as well as vibration, can be efficiently detected with a higher degree of precision using Light Dependent Resistor (LRR) and laser detectors. In the event of an unexpected situation, such as an accident, the GSM module will begin communicating via message with the nearest control room for assistance. Sonar sensors are often used for obstacle avoidance when something unexpectedly appears in front of the train. The Internet of Things (IoT) has been added to the system to allow it to be monitored from anywhere in the sphere. The Arduino UNO is a microcontroller that serves as the system's backbone. The framework has the potential to be extremely beneficial to our country's railway economic growth

Automatic Railway Barrier System, Railway Tracking and Collision Avoidance using IOT

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2017

IOT can be used to improve various aspects of the railway system. Automation of railways can transform the current legacy systems and help decrease the railway related accidents significantly. This research paper proposes a system where sets of infrared sensors are used to track the position of the train and its direction. This information is used to close/open the railway barrier automatically via a motor connected to a microcontroller unit. It is also used to warn the driver about a possible collision with a train coming from the opposite direction via an SMS sent from the GSM module attached to the microcontroller. The position of the train is sent to a webpage via the GSM module for tracking.
