AUTOMATIC RAILWAY GATE CONTROL USING ARDUINO

Abstract

It has been noticed that a lot of fatalities of lives occur every day due to manually operated rail gates . These happen mainly at places where the rail road passes through a city, locality or unmanned gates of the crossing zones. Currently, gatemen mainly operate on the assumption of a train departure schedule from the station to reach a crossing zone. Accidents are more likely to happen in such cases, causing severe damage to human lives and properties near the rail crossings. This project presents the development and implementation of automatic rail gate control system as well as real time monitoring of train and obstacle detection . This project also suggests the effectiveness of real time information of train position.

The main objective of the proposed humanitarian project is to ensure the efficiency, quality, time management, and most importantly public safety, using wireless based communication network for the development of the railway industry.
