Man Less Railway Gate Using Ir Sensor

This mainly aim is to preventing accidents at unnamed level crossings where large many accidents take place every day.
The automatic railway gate controller makes use of two sensors placed at both sides of the gate placed at a particular distance. The sensor detects the arrival of train and sends signal to close the gate and similarly the sensor at the other end detects the departure of the train to open the gate again for public use.
The usage of this automatic railway gate controller will largely reduce the accidents at unmanned level crossings and provide immense safety. This report deals with the designing and operation of this automatic railway gate controller.
We, in this project have come up with a solution. Using simple electronic components we have tried to automate the control of railway gates. As a train approaches the railway crossing from either side, the sensors placed at a certain distance from the gate detects the approaching train and accordingly controls the operation of the gate. Also an indicator light has been provided to alert the motorists about the approaching train
