Involuntary railway crossing controller

Abstract

The main motive of this paper is to present an involuntary railway crossing controller that turn on and off the gates during crossing of trains. This reduces the physical efforts made by the gate keeper and saves a lot of time as well as money. In present times the station master has to communicate with gatekeeper to inform him to close gate and if train is late due to some reason, the public has to wait for a long until the train reaches the crossing thus an involuntary railway crossing controller is a solution of these problems. And most of the rail accident occurs due to carelessness or fault of gate keeper therefore, this proposed method also help to save lives of mankind by making the gate system autonomous. The involuntary controller is based on ATMEGA 328 microcontroller.
