AUTOMATIC RAILWAY GATE CONTROL

Abstract

In place of the current system, which requires a human to operate the gates at level crossings, this study proposes an automated system that can identify when a train is halted, send out an alarm, and open or close the gate accordingly. A railway gate controller, an alarm module, a signal light module, a stuck detection module, a train detection module, and a controller module are all developed to give a solution. While the stuck detection module has one ultrasonic sensor, the train detection module only has four. The train detection and stuck detection modules use ultrasonic sensors to send out high-frequency signals; when these signals are reflected back to the sensors, they indicate the presence of an item. The controller unit then presses the appropriate buttons to activate the gate, alarm generator, and signal lights based on whether the obstruction is a train or stuck. The results of the experimental experiments demonstrate that compared to the current dominating work, the suggested technique produces a railway gate controller that is more cost-effective, dependable, and straightforward. A level crossing alarm system that uses ultrasonic sensors to detect trains and other obstacles.
