 ABSTRACT
Aim of this project is control the unmanned rail gate automatically
This project utilizes two powerful IR transmitter and two receivers,Using embedded
platform. Today often we see news papers very often about the railway accidents
happening at un- attended railway gates.
Present project is designed to avoid such accidents if implemented in spirit.
This project utilizes two powerful IR transmitter and two receivers,
one pair of transmitter and receiver is fixed at upside (from the train comes) at a
level
higher than human being in exact alignment and similarly other pair is fixed at
down side
of the train direction sensor activation time is so adjusted by calculating the time
taken
at a certain speed to cross at least one compartment of standard minimum size of
the
Indian railway, normally 5 seconds.
The sensors are fixed at 1000 meters on both sides of the gate, we
call for side sensor pair for common towards gate train, and aft side sensors for the
train
just Crosses the gate. When train cross the fore side sensor it gives signal to the gate
receiver to close the gate. The buzzer is activated to clear the gate area for drivers
about 5
seconds. Gate motor is turned on in one direction and gate is closed, and stay closed
till
train crosses the gate and reaches aft side sensors when aft side receiver get
activated
motor turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops .
If there is any problem in the gate means it will operate red signal on
both side from the driver indication.
Train arrival and departure sensing can be achieved by means of Relay
techniques. When the wheels of the train moves over, both tracks are shorted to
ground
and this acts as a signal to microcontroller (89C51) indicating train arrival. RED
signal
appears for the road user, once the train cuts the relay sensor placed before the
5Kms
before the gate .A buzzer is made on as a pre cautionary measure for the road users
 ACKNOWLEDGE MENT
The project work would be incomplete without acknowledging the efforts of all
those involved it is difficult to express in words, our profound sense of gratitude to
those who helped us but we make a humble attempt to do so.

We would like to extend heartfelt gratitude and gracefully acknowledge the

inspiring guidance and invaluable suggestions of, Dept. of Electronics and
Communication and external guide for his delightful supporting guiding us and
encouraging us all the way through this project. We humbly recognize the fact that
he wholehearted assistance and excellent guidance despite a hectic schedule was
instrumental in the smooth operation of this project.

We take this opportunity to our sincere thanks to principal for his wholehearted
encouragement and providing adequate facilities in carrying out this project.

We would like to thanks all our lecturers of nonteaching staffs and all who
contributed the success of this project directly or indirectly.
