AUTOMATION OF RAILWAY GATE SYSTEM USING IOT

ABSTRACT :

Majority of the people like to travel in trains because it is affordable comfortable and fastest
mode of transportation. In spite of large usage of railways, It is still not developed in technology in
certain areas like level crossings. level crossing gates are still manually operated and many unmanned
railway gates are present. Railway gates are mainly used to save the road users to prevent accidents
from occurring. In every level crossing there are so many of the railway accidents are occurring due to
the carelessness and lack of experienced workers. The main objective of this project is to control and
operate the railway gate automatically and prevent accidents to save precious human lives. It helps to
prevent accidents from occurring and reduce the manual labour. Here, we use Arduino and IR sensor.IR
sensor use the IR transmitter to pass the arrival of train information, IR receiver receives the information
and pass it to the micro controller. Arduino use the DC motor to close or open the gate. RFID Reader
takes the information of station and its gives to the registered users.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: AURDUINO UNO

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: Power supply

ARDUINO IR SENSOR

wifi

LCD
WORKING :

We proposed a reliable System which can reduce the number of accidents occurring at
railway level crossingsand reduce the time which the vehicles have to wait at crossing stations. In our
system we use 2 ir sensors and a pair of ir sensors are used to detect the train arrival in both the
directions and the other pair of sensors are used to detect train departure in both the directions. In India
there are many types of rails travelling on the railway track daily like goods, passenger and express etc ,
the maximum speed of a train is approximately 97Km/Hr and the minimum speed of a train is
approximately 50 Km/Hr . By considering all the trains types and train speeds the Ideal distance to
detect the train by Ultrasonic sensors is about 6Km to 7Km from the crossing station and similarly the
Ideal distance to detect the train departure by ultrasonic sensor is about 2Kms to 3Kms from the railway
crossing. The System is composed of ir sensors, Servo Motors, LED Signals , Buzzer , Arduino
Microcontroller and NodeMcu Wi-Fi module. The Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect the train arrival
and departure. The Servo Motors are used to open and close the railway gates. The LED lights are used
as traffic signals at railway crossing and the Buzzer signal is used to warn the vehicles about the train
arrival.Through RFID station information will get the register user through wifi. It will display on Mobile
net App.

CONCLUSION:

Automated railway crossing system using IoT is an effective and best solution to the problems occuring
in the manual system used by the Indian railways. This System provides high benefits to the road users
and railway management. This system reduces the accidents which are occured at railway crossings and
reduces the waiting time of vehicles at railway crossing to maximum extent. As this system does not
need any human resources it can be implemented in any remote areas and rural areas where there is no
railway gate keeper. The proposed system uses the servo motors to lift the gates and these are very
reliable and accurate to lift or down the gate by the specified angle rotation. Finally we will conclude
that the proposed system will have high reliability, high performance and low cost compared to the
existing system which is presently in use. Register user get alert of station name when the train arrived
to the station through APP.
