Objective Level Crossing Types of level Crossing Our Approach Hardware Specifications Block diagram Advantage & Disadvantage Scope of Future Work Summary of Result
Provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gate operated by the gatekeeper. Reduction in the time for which the gate remains closed. Prevention of error due to manual operation.
Place where a railway and a road, or two railway lines, cross at same level.
Called Grade Crossing in North America.
Early level crossing had a flagman in a nearby booth who would, on approach of a train, wave a red flag or lantern to stop all traffic and clear the tracks.
Manual or electrical closable gates that barricaded the roadway were later introduced, intended to be a complete barrier against intrusion of any road traffic onto the railway.
‘Special’ Class Level Crossing ‘A’ Class Level Crossing ‘B’ Class Level Crossing ‘C’ Class Level Crossing ‘D’ Class Level Crossing Class ‘Special’ and ‘A’ are normally kept open to road traffic, while class ‘B’ and ‘C’ are normally kept close to road traffic ‘D’ Class is for cattle crossing
All rail or road intersections are provided with either passive or active protection. Passive - Application of passive traffic control devices(signage)which provides an unchanging warning to the road user whether or not a train is approaching the crossing. Active- Application of warning devices to warn road users of the approach of a train when the train is a minimum time from entering the road-rail intersection.
Pair of IR Sensors detect the arrival and departure of train
Arduino controls the DC Motor at the crossing based on the output of IR Sensor
DC Motor opens and closes the gate according to the output from the Arduino.

A DC motor is a class of electrical machines that converts direct current electrical power into mechanical power. Servomotors are controlled by sending an electrical pulse of variable width, or pulse width modulation (PWM), through the control wire. There is a minimum pulse, a maximum pulse, and a repetition rate. A servo motor cans usually only turn 90 degrees in either direction for a total of 180 degree movement.
Emits infrared signal and detect the reflection
Output goes low when signal is received
This serves as the input to the Arduino
Fast Response Reduce Man Work Chances Of Accidents Will Reduce Economical Cost Will Reduce
If system not working than chance of accident Chance vehicle trap between the track during gate operation.
In future also can be add some more facility like accident prevention system. Here chance to trap vehicle this can be avoided by sensor and signal to the train. Sometime this system fail to operate so it gives the signal to the authorize person.
In this project mainly three works performed: This automatic system man is not required Accident prevention system Less time required
