Abstract

The project is deliberate to realize control over the railway level cross gate through Android Application by the station master. Opening and closing of railway level crossing gate involves manpower, which could be often flawed leading to accidents. The proposed scheme rules out the need of any individual concern at the railway level crossing. This system involves opening and closing of the level crossing gate with help of an Android Application tool. Remote operation is achieved by any smart-phone/Tablet etc., with Android OS, upon a GUI (Graphical User Interface) based touch screen operation. A Bluetooth device is interfaced with the scheme. When the station master sent grasp to close from the Android application device (when the train is approaching at the level crossing) to the Bluetooth device which while fed to the microcontroller, sends an output signal which activates a system to switch on the motor to close the gate. To open the gate, another command wants to be sent for the microcontroller to open the gate with help of motor driver IC. In this project we use a microcontroller of 8051 family, and the input to it is a Bluetooth device which receives command from the abuser Android application. The output to microcontroller is given to a motor through a motor driver IC for required operation. The condition, whether the gate is open / close is displayed on an LCD display interfaced to the microcontroller. the project can be enhanced by sending an acknowledgement to the correspondent about the status of the gate.
