    The document describes an automatic railway gate controlling system that uses IR sensors to detect approaching trains and control the opening and closing of gates. When a train is detected by the first IR sensor, the gates close, a buzzer sounds, and a red light turns on. When the train passes the second sensor, the gates open, the buzzer stops, and a green light turns on. This system aims to automatically control gates to reduce accidents, traffic jams, and time gates remain closed unnecessarily.

    AUTOMATIC RAILWAY GATE

    CONTROLLING SYSTEM
    – ABSTRACT –
    This Project explicitly deals with one of the most common problem
    that is traffic jams besides a Railway crossing.
    Since gates of Railway crossing are usually manually operated, for
    most of the times, gates are kept closed for no reason increasing road
    traffic.
    Moreover in our country accidents at rail road crossing are increasing
    day by day and the train accidents cause severe damage to life and
    property.
    To solve the above problem, we have come with an idea that would
    automatically control the Railway gates at junctions.
    – INTRODUCTION –
    ● Automatic railway gate control system is an arrangement of physical
    components which sense the arrival of the train and make the gate pull
    up and pull down automatically.
    ● As a train approaches at the railway crossing from either side, the
    sensors placed at a certain distance from the gate detect the
    approaching train and accordingly controls the operation of the gate.
    ● To avoid the accidents, sensors placed at some distance from the gate
    detect the departure of the train.
    ● Thus, the time for which the gate is closed is less compared to the
    manually operated gates since the gate is closed depending upon the
    telephone call from the previous station.
    SYSTEM ANALYSIS
    – EXISTING SYSTEM –

    ● Research on automatic gate controller systems has mainly focused on


    two main areas:
    i) Information transmission and ii) Gate controlling.
    ● As we discussed that when the train approaches at the railway crossing
    from either side, the sensors placed at a certain distance from the gate
    detect the approaching train and accordingly controls the operation of
    the gate.
    – DISADVANTAGES –
    (for existing system)
    ● Problems those are related to the gate controlling are very sophisticated
    and challenging.
    ● Problems related to information transmission concern train detection
    and fast transmission of this information to the control unit.
    ● At the time of train crossing, they have to make the alarms on ,switch
    on the green or other indicator lights and later have to operate the gates
    manually, that too immediate closing and opening of gates.
    ● The existing solutions have many complexities and require research for
    supporting railway.
    – PROPOSED SYSTEM –

    ● The proposed system uses IR sensors which have very high efficiency.
    ● These IR sensors are placed near the rail line at the both side of the
    level crossing. 
    ● These sensors which are placed at certain distance from the level
    crossing detect the train coming from either direction to the level
    crossing.
    ● Then the information of the train is transferred to the control unit and
    the control unit switches on the red light, generates alarm and pull
    down the gate immediately. and vice versa….
    – ADVANTAGES –
    (for proposed system)
    ● Avoid man power​.
    ● Reduce operation costs.​
    ● Easy to use​.
    ● Performance is high.​
    ● Portable​.
    ● Accuracy is high​.
    ● Automatic operation​.​

    – CIRCUIT DIAGRAM –
    – DATA FLOW DIAGRAM –
    – IMPLEMENTATION –
    • Our idea has been used and developed as a working model. A Railway
    track has been fixed.
    • And the level crossing gate is setup containing two gates facing each
    other with a gap and the gates are fixed with LED lights and the servo
    motor has been fixed at the gates and a small Buzzer is placed near the
    Arduino, an important point is that the tracks should be in between the
    level crossing setup.
    • And the IR sensors have been placed at two opposite directions.
    • The whole setup has been connected with the Arduino UNO board.
    • After the whole setup is ready, a toy train is fixed on the track.
    • Then the toy-train starts running with the help of batteries. To start the
    process, power supply is switched on.
    • After that when we turn on the toy train, it starts running, and when the
    train comes nearer to the 1st IR Sensor, the rail gates will be closed with
    red LED indication, and if it reaches the 2nd one the gates will open with
    green LED indication.
    • The servo motor attached with the gates, which has Angular Rotation,
    helps the system with both the opening and closing of the gates.
    • Like the gates, Buzzer will also be turned on automatically as soon as the
    train reaches 1st IR sensor and will be turned off when the train reaches
    2nd one.
    • During the whole process, the power supply should be turned on.

    – CONCLUSION –
    ● By using automatic railway gate controlling system we can avoid
    accidents.
    ● To save the human life and vehicles from miserable train accidents is a
    challenge of the era of modern science and technology.
    ● Consequently, this is able to play a great contribution to the railway
    gate automation with reliability and lower cost. ➢ In the future we can
    control the railway gate system using transmitter and receiver.
    ● In future this developed working model will be equipped with GPS to
    navigate the position of the train and the track to avoid collision
    between two trains.
