In the
rapidly flourishing countries accidents in the unmanned level crossings and due
to obstacle on track are increasing day by day. No fruitful steps have been
taken so far in these areas. Our project deals with automatic railway gate
control at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeepers and
detection of obstacle on track By employing the automatic railway gate control
at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the sensors
placed in the side of the tracks. Hence, the time for which it is closed is
less compared to the manually operated gates. Detection of obstacle on railway
track deals with two things, Firstly it senses the any obstacle on the track by
using sensors placed on the front end of the train and The review of train
accidents of the last 5 years (2009-10 to 2013-14) for which the data is
available indicates that a large number of accidents happen because of
derailments & at level crossing. NCRB says a total of 2,547 railway
crossing accidents led to 2,575 deaths and 126 injuries across the country in
2014. This motivated us to take up this project.
