Abstract

This paper aims to provide an automatic railway gate at the level crossing to prevent the operation of the gate by a gate keeper by using the train and stuck detection on the level crossing, generating corresponding alert signal and controlling the gate. The solution is provided by developing a train and stuck detection module, light signaling module, alarm module, railway gate controller and a controller module. The train detection module consists of four ultrasonic sensors and stuck detection module has one ultrasonic sensor. Through the ultrasonic sensors train detection and stuck detection module generate high frequency signal. Then the controller unit detects whether the obstacle is train or stuck and takes required steps by controlling the gate. Experimental studies gives that the proposed system is more cost effective, reliable and simple in operation.
