Rail information system prototype with web-based magnetic detection method

Abstract

Trains are the most popular means of transportation by some people because it is cheap, fast, safe and comfortable. Because of carrying a sense of security, the construction of supporting infrastructure must be made safe, ranging from signs to the implementation of the door guard system in the railway crossing. Still often found in some railway crossing areas there is no guard door crossing system, so there are many accidents that resulted in the absence of a railway door guard system. The prototype was built to develop a railway control system by applying microcontroller technology, minicomputer and Hall effect sensor. The system will automatically detect the train that will pass by sending railway traffic safety information via the internet near the railway crossing. So that road users can find out early if there is a train that will pass by seeing the information monitor.
