This project aims to develop an automated and unmanned railway gate crossing system using a microcontroller to avoid accidents at unattended railway crossings. Infrared sensors will be placed on both sides of the crossing, and when a train is detected, the gate will automatically close. When the train passes through, the gate will reopen, eliminating the need for human operators. The system will use an AT89C52 microcontroller, L293D motor driver, stepper motor, infrared sensors, and a power supply to control the gate's operation based on sensor input. This automated design could help prevent accidents and save lives at remote railway crossings.

SOURCE OF IDEA

In remote areas , where generally there are no man at the crossing level, accident may occurs due to improper signalling. hence, there should be a proper signal system to avoid the accidents, but due to area, a single man can not survive easily. so, we thought , an automated and unmanned railway crossing system, that can avoid this kind of accidents, and there is no use of any mankind.

INTRODUCTION

Present project is designed using 8051 microcontroller to avoid railway accidents happening at unattended railway gates. This project utilizes two powerful IR transmitters and two receivers; one pair of transmitter and receiver is fixed at up side (from where the train comes) at a level higher than a human being in exact alignment and similarly the other pair is fixed at down side of the train direction. Sensor activation time is so adjusted by calculating the time taken at a certain speed to cross at least one compartment of standard minimum size of the Indian railway. Sensors are fixed at 1km on both sides of the gate. We call the sensor along the train direction as foreside sensor and the other as aft side sensor. When foreside receiver gets activated, the gate motor is turned on in one direction and the gate is closed and stays closed until the train crosses the gate and reaches aft side sensors. When left side receiver gets activated motor turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops. Buzzer will immediately sound at the fore side receiver activation and gate will close after 5 seconds, so giving time to drivers to clear gate area in order to avoid trapping between the gates and stop sound after the tr Railways being the cheapest mode of transportation are preferred over all the other means .When we go through the daily newspapers we come across many railway accidents occurring at unmanned railway crossings. This is mainly due to the carelessness in manual operations or lack of workers. We, in this project has come up with a solution for the same. Using simple electronic components we have tried to automate the control of railway gates. As a train approaches the railway crossing from either side, the sensors placed at a certain distance from the gate detects the approaching train and accordingly controls the operation of the gate. Also an indicator light has been provided to alert the motorists about the approaching train.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

When the train arrives in a particular direction the transmitter IR senses and generates appropriate signal, then at the same time the receiver IR receives the signal and generates an interrupt. When the interrupt is generated the stepper motor rotates in clockwise direction. When the interrupt ends the stepper motor rotates in anti clock wise direction.
