SYNOPSIS:
AUTO OPERATED UNMANNED LEVEL CROSSING FOR
RAILWAY NETWORK:

OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of this project is to avoid accidents at railway
crossing junctions.

INTRODUCTION:
Now a days railway accidents are happening at the crossing junctions
due to the negligence of the operator, to avoid this, this system is developed
so that it detects the railway some prescribed distance away from the
junctions and closes the crossing gates on its own and offers, the train is
passed it reopen the gate.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION:
The system consists of two pair of IR Tx & Rx at some
predefined distance away from the crossing junction and just next to the
junction. As train passes through the sensors, the receiver produces a pulses
and are detected by the microcontroller and the motor is driven to close the
gate, and when the train is been passed completely and is detected by the
second pair of sensors and the gate is reopened by driving the motor in other
direction.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED:

Keil “ C” compiler for 8051.
