IR based application for automatic railway gate control systems

Abstract


 
 
 The “AUTOMATIC RAILWAY GATE CONTROL SYSTEM” with IR based application and ARDUINO NANO to systematic traffic control of railway gates that are both manned and unmanned. In Generally, there are manual gate control system which are maintained by person. As vehicles are increasing day by day it has become more difficult to control the gate manually. As a result, often accident occurs and many people become injured badly and sometimes it becomes very serious when people died due to this type of accidents. So, this work can help us to reduce accidents in our country by introducing automatic railway control system.In this work deals with one IR sensor, the sensor is fixed at certain distance of the gate, that is before the train arrive and after the train departure. Place the servo motor with a barrier attached to it so it can move up and down easily. Provide the power supply to ARDUINO so that the machine starts working. When the train arrives the sensor detects it and servo barrier blocks the crossing and when the sensor detects that the train goes away the servo barrier opens. In this way, the system works.
