Abstract

OBJECTIVE: +he aim of this project is to Automate unmanned railway gate// +he objecti(e of this project is to manage the control system of railway gate using the microcontroller/ +he control system acti(ates and closes the gate on either side of the trac!/ once the train crosses the other end control system automatically lifts the gate/ 4or mechanical operation of the gates dc motors are employed/ 5ere we are using embedded controller built around the 6781 family ,A+69C80- for the control according to the data pattern produced at the input port of the micro controller& the appropriate selected action will be ta!en// +he logic is produced by the program written in Assembly language/ +he software program is written& by using the :#1' micro (ision en(ironment/ +he program written is then con(erted in 5#; code after simulation and burned on to microcontroller/ +he basic idea behind this project is an automatic railway gate at a le(el crossing replacing the gates operated by the gate!eeper/ 1t deals with two things/ 4irstly& it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being !ept closed/ And secondly& to pro(ide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents/ "y the presently e2isting system once the train lea(es the station& the stationmaster informs the gate!eeper about the arri(al of the train through the telephone/ <nce the gate!eeper recei(es the information& he closes the gate depending on the timing at which the train arri(es/ 5ence& if the train is late due to certain reasons& then gate remain closed for a long time causing traffic near the gates/

1. Introduction

1.1 Aim
#arly le(el crossings had a flagman in a nearby booth who would& on the approach of a train& wa(e a red flag or lantern to stop all traffic and clear the trac!s/ anual or electrical closable gates that barricaded the roadway were later introduced/ +he gates were intended to be a complete barrier against intrusion of any road traffic onto the railway/ 1n the early days of the railways much road traffic was horse drawn or included li(estoc!/ 1t was thus necessary to pro(ide a real barrier/ +hus& crossing gates& when closed to road traffic& crossed the entire width of the road/ Chen opened to allow road users to cross the line& the gates were swung across the width of the railway& pre(enting any pedestrians or animals getting onto the line/ Cith the appearance of motor (ehicles& this barrier became less effecti(e and the need for a barrier to li(estoc! diminished dramatically/ any countries therefore substituted the gated crossings with wea!er but more highly (isible barriers and relied upon road users following the associated warning signals to stop/ Ce are concerned of pro(iding an automatic railway gate control at unmanned le(el crossings replacing the gates operated by gate !eepers and also the semi automatically operated gates/ 1t deals with two things/ 4irstly& it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being !ept closed/ And secondly& to pro(ide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents that usually occur due to carelessness of road users and at times errors made by the gate!eepers/

"y employing the automatic railway gate control at the le(el crossing the arri(al of train is detected by the sensor placed on either side of the gate at about 8!m from the le(el crossing/ <nce the arri(al is sensed& the sensed signal is sent to the microcontroller and it chec!s for possible presence of (ehicle between the gates& again using sensors/ Subsequently adequate signals on either side are pro(ided to the road users indicating the closure of gates/ <nce& no (ehicle is sensed in between the gate the motor is acti(ated and the gates are closed/ "ut& for the worst case if any obstacle is sensed it is indicated to the train dri(er by signals placed at about 0!m and 167m& so as to bring it to halt well before the le(el crossing/ Chen no obstacle is there and the train is to free to mo(e/ +he departure of the train is detected by sensors placed at the gate/ +he signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller& which in turn operates the motor and opens the gate/ +hus& the time for which the gate is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates since the gate is closed depending upon the telephone call from the pre(ious station/ Also reliability is high as it is not subjected to manual errors/

<ur project is designed using 6780 microcontroller to a(oid railway accidents happening at unattended railway gates/ +his project utiliDes An 1R sensor which is fi2ed at the railway gate/ Chene(er a signal from the sensor is detected then the gates are closed/ Ce will be using %C geared motor to open and close the gates/ Ce will be using '093% dri(er 1C to control the motor i/e/ open and close the gates/ +his type of gates can be employed in an unmanned le(el crossing where the chances of accidents are higher and reliable operation is required/ Since& the operation is automaticE error due to manual operation is pre(ented/ Automatic railway gate control is highly economical microcontroller based arrangement& designed for use in almost all the unmanned le(el crossings in the country/

+his paper has satisfactorily fulfilled the basic things such as pre(ention of accidents inside the gate and the unnecessary of a gate!eeper/ "ut still the power supply for the motor operation and signal lights/ 1t can be a(oided and a battery charged by means of a solar cell/ 1t can be used directly during the daytime and by charging the battery during night/ 5ence this arrangement can be used in remote areas where the power supply can.t be e2pected/ +he obstacle detection part can be implemented using 4uDDy logic/ As it thin!s in different angles or aspects& the system wor!s still more efficiently/

Conclu%ion
+he idea of automating the process of railway gate operation in le(el crossings has been underta!en/ As the system is completely automated& it a(oids manual errors and thus pro(ides ultimate safety to road users/ "y this mechanism& presence of a gate!eeper is not necessary and automatic operation of the gate through the motor action is achie(ed/ icrocontroller 69C81 performs the complete operation i/e/& sensing &gate closing and opening operation is done by software coding written for the controller/ +he mechanism wor!s on a simple principle and there is not much of comple2ity needed in the circuit/
