Automatic Railway Gate Crossing System

The primary point of this undertaking is to work and control the unmanned route railway gate in the correct way so as to keep away from the accidents in the unmanned track crossing. In a nation like our own where there are numerous unmanned line crossings, mishaps are increasing step by step. These train accidents are because of the absence of human power in the track. Keeping in mind the end goal to conquer the mischances because of the above issue we have wanted to outline the project.


Automatic railway gate crossing system
Programmed Railway Gate Control System with High-Speed Alerting System is an imaginative circuit which consequently controls the operation of track entryways discovering the entry and depart of trains at gate. It has sensors (identifiers) at the far away separation on the track which permits us to know the arrival & departure of the train. These detector signals are send to microcontroller which actuates the motor engines which open/close the line gate accordingly.

An alternate peculiarity of this circuit is that it has a clever cautioning framework which catches the velocity of the train that is arriving. In the event that the velocity is discovered to be higher than the typical rate, then the microcontroller consequently actuates the alert present at the entryway. This cautions the travelers at the track crossing out and about this. Additionally This circuit has the peculiarity for Identification of train from different gatecrashers i.e, creatures and so on .This can be actualized in kept an eye on level intersections likewise, as manual slips can be wiped out via automation.
Circuit Operation:

operation of  circuit can be plainly clarified as takes after. Fundamentally the circuit comprises of four IR LED Photodiode sets arranged on either side of the entryway such that IR LED & photodiodes are on either side of the track as indicated in the figure beneath.

Programmed Railway Gate Controller Sensor Arrangement

At first transmitter is constantly transmitting the IR light which is made to fall on the recipient. At the point when the train arrives it cuts the light falling on recipient. Given us a chance to accept the train is touching base from left to right, now when the train cuts the first sensor match a counter is initiated and when it crosses second sensor combine the counter is halted. This counter esteem gives the time period which is utilized to ascertain the speed of the train.

The sensor2 yield is sent to microcontroller which makes the transfer actuate which causes the entryway to be shut. Presently when the last carriage of the train cuts the sensor4 microcontroller de-actuates the relays & gates are opened.

How does the sensor know about last carriage?


Here as beforehand specified the counter esteem is utilized to figure the speed of the train, which implies that each wheel of the carriage cuts the sensor match inside little division of time focused around its speed. After the last carriage is passed there is no obstruction to the sensor set inside that division of time thus it realizes that the train has cleared out.

One more gimmick of this circuit is identifying a train precisely i.e, there may be a risk that some deterrent (for e.g some creature) may cut the sensor then in such a case the counter is made to run for certain time of time (this time period is situated considering the conceivable most reduced rate of train) if the hindrance does not cut the second sensor before this predefined time then this impediment is not considered as train and gate stay opened.


One more preference of figuring the speed of train is, if the pace of the train crosses a point of confinement i.e, on the off chance that it is going at an over velocity then the travelers are cautioned utilizing a by actuating a signal.

The framework fundamentally includes two IR LED  Photodiode sets, which are introduced on the route track at around 1 meter separated, with the transmitter and the photodiode of each one sets on the inverse sides of the track. The establishment is as demonstrated in the square chart. The framework shows the time taken by the train in intersection this separation from one sets to the next with a determination of 0.01 second from which the pace of the vehicle can be ascertained as takes after:

Speed (kmph) = Distance/Time

As separation between the sensors is known and consistent, the time is numbered by the micro controller and from this data, we can compute the pace.

This circuit has been composed considering the greatest passable rate for trains according to the movement standard.



The micro controller is utilized to process the inputs that are given by the sensors and produce the sought outputs correspondingly.
