Abstract
In the rapidly flourishing country like ours, accidents in the unmanned level crossings are increasing day by day No fruitful steps have been taken so far in these areas. our paper deals with automatic railway gate operation (i.e.,) automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeepers, 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 employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the sensors placed near to the gate. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates. The operation is automatic; error due to manual operation is prevented. Automatic railway gate control is highly microcontroller based arrangements, designed for use in almost all the unmanned level crossing in the train. Also an indicator light has been provided to alert the motorists about the approaching train.
2. ACCIDENT AVOIDENCE DETAILS
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.
