railway gate using servo and arduino uno
The project aims to design an automatic railway crossing system to enhance safety and efficiency by eliminating manual operations. The system uses sensors to detect approaching trains, automatically closing the gate and reopening it once the train departs, thereby reducing human error and improving time management. Key components include microcontrollers, sensors, and motors for reliable functionality.

- 2. Project Synopsis: Railway safetyis a crucial aspect of rail operation system worldwide. The purpose of our project is to design an AUTOMATIC RAIL CROSSING SYSTEM. This system is capable of closing the gate/barrier when a train is going to cross the road and the system will be restored to its initial condition after the train leaves. Thus it saves time and man power and reduces the chance of error.
- 3. 1. Previously, nogate or barrier was used at rail crossings. 2. After some period, flagmen were posted to rail crossings to warn the traffic about the incoming train. Generally they used flag or lamp to do their job. 3. Later manually controlled barricades were introduced. The gates were intended to be a complete barrier against intrusion of any road traffic on the railway.
- 4. 1. Manual railcrossings need a lot of man power to do the job of signaling and operating the barrier. 2. So manual rail crossing is not cost efficient. 3. Most of the time this procedure is not time efficient. Often train arrives a long time after the gate has been closed. 4. Manual system is erroneous, and can cause severe damage which may worth a heavy loss of life and capital.
- 5. To avoid humanerror and to enhance efficiency, railway crossing system can be controlled in an automated manner. In an automatic rail crossing system a train which approaches the gate is detected by a sensor, and also the speed of the train is noted. Then the time taken by the train to reach the road is calculated and the gate/barrier is closed down accordingly. Also the departure of the train is detected by another sensor and the gate/barrier is restored to its initial position.
