Abstract:
In this project the railway signaling includes the gate control is done using microcontroller.
The automatic opening and closing of the gate and also the signaling which depending on the
gate position that will be controlled by the microcontroller. The railway gate is to be
controlled so that the road traffic is to be predicted .The railway gate is to be closed when a
train is passing by the way. The opening and closing of the gate is to be done using stepper
motors and this stepper motor is controlled by micro controller. The signaling of the train is
also controlled depending upon the gate position. Only when gate is closed the green signal is
otherwise red signal.
Description:
The project is a digital railway crossing system made with an Arduino pro mini
and IR sensor and a few other components. The main aim of the project is to
detect the presence of a train on the rail line and control the crossbar.
The working of the project starts with the IR sensor that senses the coming up
train on the rail line near the rail crossing and uses that sensing signal the
Arduino produce a voltage signal which controls the crossbar for open and close.
