Automatic Railway Gate Control

The document describes a proposed automatic railway gate control system using IoT to replace gates operated by gatekeepers. The system uses IR sensors, RFID, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, ESP8266 WiFi module, LCD display, vibration sensor, servo motor, IR sensor, cloud connectivity and buzzer. It aims to reduce the time gates are closed and prevent accidents by automatically opening and closing gates based on train detection. When a tagged train is detected, the gate will close, and open again once the train has passed through the crossing. This system is expected to provide more reliable and accurate gate control with reduced human involvement compared to the existing manual system.

AUTOMATIC RAILWAY

GATE CONTROL
Abstract
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.

The proposed project utalizes two pairs of IR sensor and RFID placed at the
either sides of gate .Each pair of sensor consist of a transmitter and receiver,in
our case light emitting diode is used as a transmitterAnd a p-n junction
photodiode is use as receiver.RFID is also used for the detection of specific
train only.RFID consisting of tag and reader.

ARDUINO UNO R3

• The Arduino Uno is an open-source microcontroller board based on


the Microchip ATmega328P microcontroller .
• The board is equipped with sets of digital and analog input/output
(I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards (shields)
and other circuits.
• The board has 14 digital I/O pins (six capable of PWM output), 6
analog I/O pins, and is programmable with the Arduino IDE (Integrated
Development Environment), via a type B USB cable.
ESP8266 NODE MCU
The ESP8266 module enables microcontrollers to
connect to 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, using IEEE 802.11 bgn.
RFID SCANNER
• RFID Scanner recognizes locations and identification of tagged
items .
LCD DISPLAY
• LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a type of flat panel display
which uses liquid crystals in its primary form of operation.
VIBRATOR SENSOR
A vibration sensor, or vibration detector, measures vibration
levels in machinery for screening and analysis.
SERVO MOTOR
A servomotor (or servo motor) is a rotary actuator or linear
actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear
position, velocity, and acceleration.
IR SENSOR
An infrared (IR) sensor is an electronic device that measures
and detects infrared radiation in its surrounding environment.
CLOUD
An IoT cloud is a massive network that supports IoT
devices and applications. This includes the
underlying infrastructure, servers and storage,
needed for real-time operations and processing.
Buzzer
The buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may b
mechanical, electromechanical, or piezoelectric.
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
ADVANTAGE
• the time for which it is closed is less compared to the
manually operated gates and also reduces the human labour.
• Prevention of accidents inside the gate
• Automatic operation
• Easy to use
FUTURE SCOPE

• By using transmitter and reciver We can control the Railway


gate System
• Led Display At railway crossing Gates Can also Be achieved
• The vibrator sensor detect the unusual problems like track
damage, earthquake etc
CONCLUSION
Automatic railway gate system using IOT is an effective and best solution to the problems
occurring in the manual system used by the Indian railways.This system provides high benefits
to the road users and railway managments.This system reduces the accidents which areoccured
at railway crossing and reduces the waiting time of vehicles t railway crossing to maximum
extent.As this system does not need any human resoures it can be implement in any remote areas
and rural areas where there is no railway gatekeeper.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 realiability,high
performance and low cost compared to the existing system which is presently in use.
