IOT BASED AUTOMATIC SMART TRAIN PLATFORM CROSSING SYSTEM

The objective of this paper is to provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeeper. It deals with two things. Firstly, it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being kept closed, and secondly, to provide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents. By the presently existing system once the train leaves the station, the stationmaster informs the gatekeeper about the arrival of the train through the telephone. Once the gatekeeper receives the information, the closes the gate depending on the timing at which the train arrives. Hence, if the train is late due to certain reasons, then gate remain closed for a long-time causing traffic near the gates. By employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the sensor placed near to the gate. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates and also reduces the human labor. 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. Automatic railway gate control is highly economical microcontroller-based arrangement, designed for use in almost all the unmanned level crossings in the country. Key Words: Railway gate; level crossing; unmanned; gate; microcontroller etc.

IR based application for automatic railway gate control systems


 
 
 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.
 
 

Automatic Railway Gate System for Commuter Line Train Based on Sensor Accelerometer and Microcontroller

<em>The design of the automatic system of crossbar gates has been done a lot to reduce the number of accidents at the railroad crossing, but no one has been tested directly when the real train passes. In this study will design an automatic system of railroad crossing gates that will be tested on the passing KRL commuter trains so that they can display the vibration acceleration data. There are two systems in this study; system 1 is a vibration detector, and system two is an automatic system at the railway gate. The Accelerometer sensor is a passing train vibration detector, and Arduino UNO will give the command or control of the train gate to open and close automatically with a servo motor and turn on the LED and Buzzer. The system test is carried out when ten commuter line trains cross the train line on the Jakarta-Depok, Indonesia route on each variation of distance. Variations in the interval between system 1 to system two namely 200m, 450m, and 650m are performed to obtain the time difference between the railroad gates closing entirely and the time when the train passes at the gate crossing, which is close to the standard time. The test results at a distance of 200 meters have a time difference of 2.9 seconds with an average value of 10.01 m / s2, at a distance of 450 meters for 14.1 seconds; g 10.01 m / s2, and at a range of 650 for 36.7 seconds the value of g is 10.02 m / s2. Thus the results of research on the design of an automatic system based on the accelerometer and microcontroller railroad gates placed with the distance between the systems as far as 650 meters can be recommended to PT. Commuter Indonesia makes all railroad crossing gate systems work automatically and to improve road safety and safety at railroad crossings.</em><em>.</em>

Design and Development of an Automatic Unmanned Railway Level Crossing Gate

In rapidly developing countries like India, Railways are an important mode of transportation among all the people. In the railway sector, the level crossing gate plays a vital role, which should be taken into consideration. But in the level crossing gates, due to poor monitoring by the humans, many accidents are happening day-by-day. So, there is a need to develop technology to solve this issue. This paper deals with the automatic railway gate at the level crossing, which replaces the gates operated by the gatekeepers. By making it in an automatic way, can reduce the time consumption for closing the gate and also reduces human power. Streamlined the working of level crossing gate through a mini prototype model that solves this problem. Here the sensor is placed safely near the level crossing gate, which is kept at a certain distance in the railway track. Whenever the train is fastened in the railway track, the vibrations which are produced during its motion are being sensed by a sensor and it provides the necessary signal pulses to the controller which is kept at the level crossing column setup. Then the controller activates the motor, therefore the gate closes and opens automatically. Visualized the design calculation for making this setup. Hence by implementing this idea, can able to control the accidents in unmanned areas, therefore the precious human life can be saved.

In addition to this, one more additional feature is implemented for the driver’s convenience who can use for the level crossing . Here, driver needs to install the mobile application in their mobile by which they can check the railway gate is open or close . The Ultrasonic sensor detect the train is coming or not and with help of NodeMCU send to the Google Firebase and Firebase will send the same information to NodeMCU which is located at level crossing and close the gate with the help of Servo Motor, and when the train departure from the another side Ultrasonic Sensor it will again send data to Google Firebase and Firebase again give command to NodeMCU to open the gate which is located at level crossing. This is cost effective, real time and time saving automatic system.

Prevention of Accidents using Automated Railway Crossing System

Railways is the most prominent mode of transport across the country, which reaches every corner of the country. Accidents have been a major headache to the Indian Railway. Accidents that have been occurring at the railway crossing is increasing marginally at a higher rate. Therefore, new technology needs to be considered that is reliable, effective and functional for automatic railway gate closure. This Automatic railway gate crossing is an IR sensors based system. This system is implemented using IoT technology. Whenever the train base is sensed by the IR sensor (placed at around 1.5 km distance away from the railway gates) the microcontroller (Arduino Nano) activates the closure of gates that are connected to the driver circuit operated by DC motors. This system also detects obstacles(vehicles) using IR sensors (placed at the railway gates) that are preventing the closure of railway gates and alerts the train accordingly, then the train is mechanically slowed down or stopped if necessary. This system is developed to be a fail-proof system to avoid accidents at the railway crossing.

Automatic Railway Gate Control System Using RFID with High Speed Alerting System

The main objective of this paper is to avoid the railway accidents happening at the level crossings. In India railway is the major mode of the transportations and it is the cheapest way for travelling. So there are more numbers of rail users. And it is not easy to stop railway anywhere to prevent accident or for any other reason. Due to that there are major drawbacks of that. At present manned system is available at level crossings. Hence, many accidents occur at such crossings, since there is no one to take care of the functioning of the railway gate when a train approaches the crossing. The objective of this paper is to manage the control system of railway gate using the microcontroller. This model includes IR sensors, RFID, LCD, buzzer, light led, motor driver and microcontroller PIC16F877A. In the automatic railway gate control system, at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the IR sensor and RFID placed near to the gate. In case of RFID it detects only arrival of train. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates and reduces the human labour. As the entire system is automated errors occurring due to manual operation are prevented because the accuracy of automated operation is more than the manned operation.

A Study on Automatic Railway Gate Control System

The Railroad related accidents are more dangerous than other transportation accidents in terms of injured and death rate etc. Therefore more efforts are necessary for improving safety and security. There are many railways crossing which are unmanned due to lack of manpower needed to fulfill the demand signal is sent to the control room and the gate is closed and stays closed until the train crosses the gate and crossing side sensors. Many accidents occur at such crossing since there is careless of the functioning of the railway gate when a train arrive the crossing. The main aim of this paper is to manage the control system of railway gate using microcontroller and various types of sensors. The proposed model has been designed using x-bee sensor and microcontroller to avoid railway accidents occurring a unattended railway gates if implemented detection of train approaching the gate can be sensed by means of two sensors placed on either side of the gate. This work depends on the two sensors placed on either side of the gate. This work utilizes two powerful magnetic sensors is fixed at incoming and similarly the other magnetic sensor is fixed at outgoing side of the train direction. Sensors are fixed on both sides of the gate. We call the sensors along the train direction as foreside sensor and the other as after side sensor. When foreside sensor gets activated the sensed side sensor activated and the signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller motor turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops automatically.
