- 3. Problem statement 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.
- 4. Objectives The main objective of this project is to automize the unmanned railway gate. This way, it would decrease the cost of gatekeeper at the junction and also the gate will close/open automatically. The sensors will sense and detect the train and it would send the signals to the motors connected with gate of the crossing. Due to this, the accidents rated would decrease due to human negligence.
- 5. Literature Review The objective of this paper is to provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates Operated by the gatekeeper. The system reduces the time for which the gate remains closed. This type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level crossing where the chances of accidents are higher and reliable operation is required. Since, the operation is automatic, error due to manual operation is prevented. The system works on a microcontroller based control. The proposed system uses ATmega 16A microcontroller with the help of IR sensors. The

Literature Review This paper is concerned with the automatic railway gate control operation which is implemented in unmanned level crossings at remote areas by detecting a train approaching. To do that the gate is sensed by means of infrared ray (IR) sensor placed on either side of the railway. This system uses microcontroller with the help of IR sensors.. Railway gate may be saved for the road users to prevent accidents in terms of train speed at level crossing. Since the closing time of automatic gate control is less as compared to the manually operated gates so it provides highly safety to the
- 7. Methodology We are concerned of providing an automatic railway gate control at unmanned level crossings replacing the gates operated by gate keepers and also the semi-automatically operated gates. It deals with two things; Firstly, it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being kept closed. Secondly, to provide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents that usually occurs due to carelessness of road users and human error made by the gatekeepers. By employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of train is detected by
- 8. Cont… Methodology Once the train motion is sensed, the sensed signal is sent to the microcontroller and it checks for possible presence of vehicle between the gates, again using sensors. Subsequently, buzzer indication and light signals on either side are provided to the road users indicating the closure of gates. Once, no vehicle is sensed in between the gate, the motor is activated and the gates are closed. The departure of the train is detected by sensors placed at about 2km from the gate at opposite direction. The signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller, which in turn operates the motor and opens the gate. Thus, the

- 11. Utilization of Project The main aim of this project is to automize the unmanned railway gate. The gate gets open/close automatically whenever the train comes and leaves the railway-road crossing. This project can be used in Pakistan rail road crossing. It can also be used at the exchange of motorways and high ways.
