The document describes a team's project to design a new railway crossing gate to improve safety. The team analyzed the problem of 7-8 deaths daily at crossings and developed concepts for a new gate design that lifts the road above ground, uses barriers that rise from below, and electronically controls opening and closing. They also proposed ways to stop people from crossing gates, such as signage, audio warnings, and speed bumps. Finally, their concepts for controlling traffic included bifurcating the road, using common gates, and alternately opening gate quadrants or barriers.

2. THE CAUSE
EVERYDAY ATLEAST 7-8 PEOPLE DIE AT THE
RAILWAY CROSSING.

3. THE CHECK
 The gates should be closed when the train is at a specific
distance from the railway gate to save time.
 There should be an optimum distance between the track and
the gate, so that if by chance someone crosses the gate
he/she can stay safely between the track and the gate.

4. THE CHECK
 There should be a mechanism through which people are
forced to slow down even if they pace-up and stop at the
gate.
 There should be a proper mechanism through which we
ensure that there is no inter-mixing of traffic from both sides
when gates are open.
 The gate should be such that it can be ensured that people
don’t cross from bottom or sides.

5. THE THREE CONCEPTS
1) Railway gate design
2) Stopping the people
3) Controlling the traffic

6. RAILWAY GATE DESIGN
1) Lifting the whole road above ground level.
2) Barrier gates that come up from the ground.
3) Electronically control opening and closing(weight sensor or
train detector).
4) Four quadrant gate.
5) Elevator type opening and closing of the gates.

7. RAILWAY GATE DESIGN
6) Create spikes at the top to stop people
from crossing from above.
7) Having safe distance of the gate from
the track.
8) Color of gate(yellow and black stripes)
9) Use of LED’s(can make patterns such as STOP).

8. STOPPING THE PEOPLE
1) Use of signage such as warnings, posters of gods and
goddesses.
2) Audio illusions(sound of train) and warnings(ambulance
siren).
3) Visual indications or signals of arrival of train.
4) Make zigzag road.
5) Normal and diagonal speed breakers.
6) Firing water using a water gun.

9. STOPPING THE PEOPLE
7) Color of the gate or use of LED's on gates(depicting STOP
sign).
8) Adding barriers to side of the gates.

10. CONTROLLING THE TRAFFIC
1) Bifurcation of road.
2) Common gate that serves the purpose of stopping as well as
controlling the traffic.
3) Four quadrant gate/alternate opening closing of gates.
4) Alternately moving barriers up and down.
Solar energy can be used as the main power source.
