DESCRPTION:

The railroad industrys own desire to maintain their ability to provide safe and secure transport of their customers hazardous materials, has introduced new challenges in rail security. Addressing these challenges is important, as railroads, and the efficient delivery of their cargo, play a vital role in the economy of the country. The present project is designed to satisfy the security needs of the railways. This system provides the security in four ways: automatic gate opening/closing system at track crossing, signaling for the train driver, tracking the signals, and the track protection. The automatic gate opening/closing system is provided with the IR sensors placed at a distance of few kilometers on the both sides from the crossing road. These sensors give the train reaching and leaving status to the embedded controller at the gate to which they are connected. The controller operates (open/close) the gate as per the received signal from the IR sensors. The present project is designed around a microcontroller as a control unit. The microcontroller senses the incoming of train through IR sensors and controls the railway gate. And it continuously monitors the outgoing of train and opens the railway gate automatically with out the intervention of human personnel.
