In fast-growing countries, accidents at unmanned level crossings and on-track obstacles are increasing day by day. So far no fruitful steps have been taken in these areas. Our project deals with automatic control of the railroad gate in a level crossing that replaces the doors operated by the porters and the detection of obstacles on the track By using the automatic control of the railroad gate at the level crossing The arrival of the train is detected by the sensors located on the side of the tracks. Therefore, the time for which it is closed is lower compared to manually operated doors. Obstacle detection on the rail tracks two things: Firstly it detects any obstacles on the track by using sensors located at the front of the train and secondly, to transmit the obstacle detection message to the nearby station Through GSM technology. The proposed system uses infrared sensors to detect the arrival and departure of the trains at the railway crossing, ultrasonic sensor to detect the obstacle on the track, GSM to transmit the obstacle message to the nearby station and Arduino to control the Opening / From the doors and to transmit the obstacle message.
The rail system is the most widely used mode of transport in India. It is also one of those modes of transport that faces many challenges due to human errors such as cross-level crashes, collisions, etc. A level crossing, an intersection of a road and a railway line, requires human coordination, the lack of What leads to accidents. Level crossings are controlled by manually operated doors. In order to avoid human errors that could occur during the operation of the floodgates, the proposed document introduces the concept of railroad automation. The level crossings are handled by the gatekeeper and the gatekeeper is instructed and the phone means in most of the level cross of the control room. But the manual error rate that could occur at these level crossings is high because they are unsafe to perform without real knowledge about the train time table. The delay in opening and closing the door could lead to railway accidents.
