The objective of this project is to manage the control system of railway gate using the arduino. When train arrives at the sensing point alarm is triggered at the railway crossing point so that the people get intimation that gate is going to be closed. Then the control system activates and closes the gate on either side of the track once the train crosses the other end control system automatically lifts the gate.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
•The arrival of the train is detected by the sensor
placed on either side of the gate about 5km of the
level crossing
• Once the arrival is sensed , the sensed signal is
sent to the microcontroller
•When the train is arriving at a distance of 2 Km a
SMS through GSM has been send

4.  Subsequently , hooter indication and light signals
on either side are provided to the road users
indicating the closure of the gate
 The departure of the train is detected by IR
sensors placed at 1Km from the gate
 The signal about the departure is sent to the
microcontroller which in turns operate the DC
motor and opens the gate

8. ARDUINO
 It is a multiplatform environment as it can run on
Windows, Macintosh and Linux.
 It is based on the Processing programming IDE.
 it uses USB cable, not a serial port. This feature is useful
because many modern computers don’t have serial ports.
 It is open source hardware and software.
 The hardware is cheap. Replacing a burnt-out chip on the
board is easy and costs no more. So you can afford to make
mistakes.
 The Arduino Project was developed in an educational
environment and is therefore great for newcomers to get
things working quickly.

10. BLUETOOTH
 HC‐05 module is an easy to use
Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol)
module.
 Designed for transparent wireless serial
connection setup.
 Auto‐connect to the last device on power as
default.
 Permit pairing device to connect as default.
 Auto‐pairing PINCODE:”1234” as default.
 Auto‐reconnect in 30 min when disconnected as
a result of beyond the range of connection.

11. • Lcd is used in all the
electronics projects
to display the status
of the process.
• It has two type of register inbuilt that is:-
1. Command Register
2. Data Register.
• Command register is used to insert a special command into the
LCD. While Data register is used to insert a data into the LCD
• In this project we are using this lcd to display the railway gate
open or close section and warning message for road user.

12. • The stepper motor moves in distinct steps during its
rotation. Each of these steps is defined by a Step
Angle
• there are 4 distinct steps for the rotor to make a
complete 360 degree rotation.
• a stepper motor is actually a digital motor
• It consist of soft iron stator.
• Each stator will be wrapped with multiple windings
that will be energized using a voltage source.

13. Reed switch
 The reed switch is
an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic
field
 The reed switch contains a pair (or more) of
magnetizable, flexible, metal reeds whose end
portions are separated by a small gap when the
switch is open
 The contacts may be normally open, closing when a
magnetic field is present
 Quick response
 Reed switches are compact and light weight.

14. Software implementation
Keil software
Proteus software

15. Advantages
Prevention of accident inside the gates
Power supply for the motor operations and signal
supply is required
Reliable machine which operates the railway gate
even without the gate keeper

16. Provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates
operated by the gatekeeper for:
Reduction of time for closing and opening the gate.
Higher reliability as it is not subjected to manual
errors.
Provide safety to the road users by reducing the
accidents.
LEVEL CROSSING : the place where track and
highway/road intersects each other at same level
PROJECT OBJECTIVE:

17. Roller door and electric gate situated on a
busy road with no time to wait for a remote
control hand piece to come into range. A
bluetooth unit was fitted allowing the gate to
be opened one minute prior to arriving.
Bluetooth units are installed to reset
computer servers by a simple phone
call or text to save a trip to the office
after hours or on weekends.
APPLICATIONS:

18. Arcade machines produce several hundreds of dollars
a day turn over and if the machine has a fault the
owner or operators would like to know about it when
the fault occurs. With the help of a GSM unit a text
message is sent stating the fault is present allowing
quick and prompt repair to rectify the machine.
GSM units are fitted to warehouse gates and roller
doors to allow remote access to unmanned
warehouses for distribution or tradesmen workshops

19. PROPOSED SYSTEM
The addition of bluetooth had been
established so that in limited amount
of time the message can be sent to
the OCC
Our project is designed
using arduino uno to avoid
railway accidents
happening at unattended
railway gates.
