PROJECT DESCRIPTION

•The arrival of the train is detected by the sensor placed on either side of the gate about 5km of the level crossing

• Once the arrival is sensed , the sensed signal is sent to the microcontroller

•When the train is arriving at a distance of 2 Km a SMS through GSM has been send

Subsequently , hooter indication and light signals on either side are provided to the road users indicating the closure of the gate

The departure of the train is detected by IR sensors placed at 1Km from the gate

The signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller which in turns operate the DC motor and opens the gate

• HOOTER

• DC motor

• Bluetooth modulo

• Led’s

• Switches

• Resistors

• Capacitors

ARDUINO It is a multiplatform environment as it can run on

Windows, Macintosh and Linux.

It is based on the Processing programming IDE.

it uses USB cable, not a serial port. This feature is useful

because many modern computers don’t have serial ports.

It is open source hardware and software.

The hardware is cheap. Replacing a burnt-out chip on the

board is easy and costs no more. So you can afford to make

mistakes.

The Arduino Project was developed in an educational

environment and is therefore great for newcomers to get

things working quickly.

Arduino pin configuration

BLUETOOTH

HC‐05 module is an easy to use Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol)module.

Designed for transparent wireless serial connection setup.

Auto‐connect to the last device on power as default.

Permit pairing device to connect as default. Auto‐pairing PINCODE:”1234” as default. Auto‐reconnect in 30 min when disconnected as

a result of beyond the range of connection.

• Lcd is used in all the

electronics projects

to display the status

of the process.

• It has two type of register inbuilt that is:-

1. Command Register

2. Data Register.

• Command register is used to insert a special command into the LCD. While Data register is used to insert a data into the LCD

• In this project we are using this lcd to display the railway gate open or close section and warning message for road user.

LCD 16*2

• The stepper motor moves in distinct steps during its rotation. Each of these steps is defined by a Step Angle

• there are 4 distinct steps for the rotor to make a complete 360 degree rotation.

• a stepper motor is actually a digital motor

• It consist of soft iron stator.

• Each stator will be wrapped with multiple windings that will be energized using a voltage source.

STEPPER MOTOR

Reed switch

The reed switch is

an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic

field

The reed switch contains a pair (or more) of

magnetizable, flexible, metal reeds whose end

portions are separated by a small gap when the

switch is open

The contacts may be normally open, closing when a

magnetic field is present

Quick response

Reed switches are compact and light weight.

Software implementation

Keil software

Proteus software

Advantages

Prevention of accident inside the gates

Power supply for the motor operations and signal

supply is required

Reliable machine which operates the railway gate

even without the gate keeper

Provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates

operated by the gatekeeper for:

Reduction of time for closing and opening the gate.

Higher reliability as it is not subjected to manual

errors.

Provide safety to the road users by reducing the

accidents.

LEVEL CROSSING : the place where track and

highway/road intersects each other at same level

PROJECT OBJECTIVE:

Roller door and electric gate situated on a

busy road with no time to wait for a remote

control hand piece to come into range. A

bluetooth unit was fitted allowing the gate to

be opened one minute prior to arriving.

Bluetooth units are installed to reset

computer servers by a simple phone

call or text to save a trip to the office

after hours or on weekends.

APPLICATIONS:

Arcade machines produce several hundreds of dollars

a day turn over and if the machine has a fault the

owner or operators would like to know about it when

the fault occurs. With the help of a GSM unit a text

message is sent stating the fault is present allowing

quick and prompt repair to rectify the machine.

GSM units are fitted to warehouse gates and roller

doors to allow remote access to unmanned

warehouses for distribution or tradesmen workshops

PROPOSED SYSTEM

The addition of bluetooth had been

established so that in limited amount

of time the message can be sent to

the OCC

Our project is designed

using arduino uno to avoid

railway accidents

happening at unattended

railway gates.
