Introduction
The objective of this project is to provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing
replacing the gates operated by the gatekeeper. It deals with two things. Firstly, it
deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being kept closed. And
secondly to provide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents.
AIM
• The main aim of the project is to design a automatic railway gate using
Arduino UNO.
The features of the project are:

1. Automatic closing opening of bidirectional railway gate.

2. Sensing mechanism of train arrival and departure.

3. IR sensor based train detection.

4. Audible alerts using buzzer.

5. To achieve this task using Arduino uno Microcontroller.


• Software’s used:

1. Arduino IDE STUDIO compiler for Embedded C programming.

2. Express SCH for Circuit design.

WORKING OF THE PROJECT

• The main controlling device of the whole system is ARDUINO.


• IR sensors, Buzzer, Servo Motor is interfacing to the arduino
microcontroller.
• When the IR sensors detects the train, this data process to the Arduino then
Arduino will open and close the gate along with buzzer automatically.
Servo motors works as a gates.
• To achieve this task using Arduino UNO microcontroller loaded program
written in embedded C language.
Major components
1. Adapter Power Supply

2. Arduino UNO Micro Controller.

3. IR sensors.

4. Servo motors.

5. Buzzer.

6. LED indicators.
Adapter
• 5V Adapter is used to provide the power
supply of the arduino and each module.
Microcontroller
• A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated
circuit consisting of a relatively simple CPU combined with
support functions such as a crystal oscillator, timers, watchdog
timer, serial and analog I/O etc.

• Microcontrollers are also used in scientific, high technology,


and aerospace projects.

• Microcontrollers are designed for small or dedicated


applications.
• Some microcontrollers may operate at clock rate frequencies
as low as 4 kHz, as this is adequate for many typical
applications, enabling low power consumption (mill watts or
microwatts)

• Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products


and devices, such as automobile engine control systems,
remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, and
toys. By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that
uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output
devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally
control even more devices and processes.

• A microcontroller can be considered a self-contained system


with a processor, memory and peripherals and can be used
with an embedded system.

Advantages of microcontroller
• Low cost
• User friendly
• Easily available in market
• We can reprogram it up to 1000 times
• Less power consumption
Obstacle detection sensor

• This sensor is a short range obstacle detector with no


dead zone.
• It has a reasonably narrow detection area which can
be increased using the dual version.
• Range can also be increased by increasing the power
to the IR LEDs or adding more IR LEDs
Features:

• Modulated IR transmitter
• Ambient light protected IR receiver
• 3 pin easy interface connectors
• Bus powered module
• Indicator LED
• Up to 12 inch range for white object
• Can differentiate between dark and light colors.
SERVO MOTOR

In this we re using servo motor to


control the gate operation like
opening and closing.
BUZZER
 A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device, which may be
mechanical, electromechanical, or electronic.

 A buzzer can be operated on two principles.

1. piezo electric buzzer, it generates sound because of the


piezoelectric effect.

2. magnetic buzzer is based on the electromagnetic principle. In


this project we are going to use magnetic buzzer.

characteristics of buzzer circuit :


1. sound level -------------------70-95 dB
2. current consumption---------35-60 ma
3. resonant frequency---------- 1-3 khz
Advantages Of This Project

1. Automatic open and closing of railway gate.


2. Automatic detection of train arrival and departure using IR sensor.
3. Railway gate opening and closing indication using buzzer.
4. Efficient design.
5. Easy to operate.
6. Low power consumption.
Future scope of this project
 In future extend we can add movable platform
to this project.
 We can add railway track power generation to
this project.
• Disadvantages:
• If the sensor fails this system can’t works properly.
• Applications:
• Railway Systems.
• Railway gates.
