Automatic Railway Crossing Gate Control

  • Abstract:
  • In this paper, the proposed work provides the design method of controlling a railway level crossing gate automatically. In general, Railway gates are opened or closed manually by a gatekeeper which involves work force and that could often lead to accidents. The information about arrival of train for opening or closing of door is received from nearby station. To avoid the human intervention at level crossings completely, we need to automate the process of railway gate control. This project deals with an interesting manner of automating the railway gate control where the gate is automatically opened or closed by detecting the arrival or leaving of the train and thus the proposed system rules out the need of any human involvement at the railway level crossing. This system involves opening and closing of the level crossing gate with help of high torque motors
