The main objective of this paper is to avoid the railway accidents happening at the level crossings. In India railway is the major mode of the transportations 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 prevent accident or for any other reason. Due to that there are major drawbacks of that. At present manned system is available at level crossings. 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. This model includes IR sensors, RFID, LCD, buzzer, light led, motor driver and microcontroller PIC16F877A. In the automatic railway gate control system, at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the IR sensor and RFID placed near to the gate. In case of RFID it detects only arrival of train. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates and reduces the human labour. As the entire system is automated errors occurring due to manual operation are prevented because the accuracy of automated operation is more than the manned operation.

Opening And Closing

Abstract The present work attempts to automate the opening and closing of gates at a railway level crossing. In general, level crossing gates are operated manually by a gate keeper. The gate keeper receives the information about the train arrival from a near station. When the train starts to leave the station, the station in-charge delivers this information to the closest gatekeeper to get ready. This human intervention can be avoided by automating the process. In situations where the train is late due to some reason, the gates remain closed for long durations causing dense traffic jam near the gates. This too can be prevented by automation. The proposed system uses infrared sensors to detect the arrival and departure of trains at the railway level crossing and Arduino to control the opening/closing of gates. The system uses two IR sensors to detect the arrival of the train and a third IR sensor to detect the departure of the train. When the arrival of the train is sensed, signals are provided to the traffic indicating the arrival of the train on the track. When the second sensor detects the train then the signal turns red and the motor operates to close the gate. The gate remains closed until the train completely moves away from the level cross. When the departure of the train is detected by the third sensor, the traffic signal turns green and the motor operates to open the gate. Thus automation of the gate operations at the railway level cross is achieved using sensors.

Gate Control

Computer and information technology from time to time are always experiencing developments, both in terms of hardware, software and the internet being one of the most important things atthis time. The increasing number of applications of computer technology will make the role of computers increasingly important to be more advanced (modernization). The security system isstill not effective and efficient enough, so that a control using a website is needed to help the security control process at the gate. This system is not only used in offices, but can be used inhome security, etc. So we need a security system, where the security control system uses a tool to monitor realtime security via a web browser, namely a webcam (Web Camera). A web-basedgate control system can be designed using the Raspberry Pi B +. From the explanation mentioned above, the researcher made a gate control device that was given to the Microcontroller using a Web Browser in order to open and close the gate. So it is hoped that this security system application can provide a sense of comfort, in addition, of course, with this system application it can reduce the number of crimes that occur both crimes and other crimes.
