CONTROLLING AND MONITORING OF AUTOMATIC RAILWAY GATE VIA IOT

  • Dr. Devaraj Verma

Abstract

Automatic railway gate and track switching system is used to avoid accidents in railway systems. Because of errors in track change & collision with trains coming from the opposite side of the track, the main causes of accidents are due to unsuitable operation of the railway barrier. To prevent accidents, this paper utilizes IR automated communication systems to automate railway systems. An IR transmitter is attached to one side of the track at the railway gates and coupled with an IR receiver on the other side of the track. At a certain distance, two IR TX-RX pairs are mounted on either side of the railway gate. Switches that is located at an acceptable distance on both sides of the railway gate on the railway track. The MCU can detect the location of the trains by using the IR circuit and switches, and the MCU controls the railway gate control motor. In order to prevent head-to-head collisions, an anti- collision device is also attached to our project. To stop the train and prevent collisions, a laser torch and LDR related technology are used here.
