This document describes an automatic railway platform project used to open and close mobile platforms between train tracks. The system uses an Atmega16 microcontroller, proximity sensors, a DC motor driver and DC motor. It detects arriving and departing trains using proximity sensors and moves the platform accordingly for pedestrian safety. The automated design enhances safety for disabled or elderly pedestrians by avoiding the need to use staircases.
The project implementsa mobile
platform in between railway tracks
This may be helpful to both handicapped
and elder citizens

This automatic railwayplatform project
is used for automatically closing or
opening of the mobile platforms in
between the train tracks.
Normally the mobile platform connects
the two platforms, through which the
passengers can walk on the platform to
reach the next platform.

Whenever thetrain is arriving the first
proximity sensor gets disturbed due to the
interruption of the train . Thus the
microcontroller senses the arriving of the
train .Before making the platform move
backward the microcontroller gives siren to
alert the people who are on the track . After
certain time the controller moves the
platform backward by rotating the dc motor
in clockwise direction . For making the
bridge forward the microcontroller should
know whether the train has left or not.

For thisthe second pair is used . Whenever
the second sensor senses the train ,that is
when the second sensor is disturbed then the
microcontroller waits for the last
compartment to leave .Then the
microcontroller output is given to the dc
motor which makes the dc motor move in
anticlockwise direction making the bridge
move forward thereby making a way for the
pedestrians to move.

The power supplyfor the motor operation
and signal lights is a disadvantage .It can
be avoided by means of a solar cell.
The obstacle detection part can be
implemented using fuzzy logic. As it
thinks in different angles or aspects , the
system works still more efficiently.

The ideaof automating the process of
railway platform operation will enhance
safety for the pedestrians who are disabled
and unable to use staircase.
As the system is completely automated , it
avoids manual errors and thus provides
ultimate safety to pedestrians.
The mechanism works on a simple principle
and there is not much complexity required in
the circuit.
