Into the Binary World of Zero Death Toll by Implementing a Sustainable Powered Automatic Railway Gate Control System
Taslim Ahmed, Imran Chowdhury · 2020
Train accidents across the Rail crossings killed many lives as death toll; mainly due to manual gate control and lack of automation. This project presents an intelligent automated railway gate control system which has very High (approx. 100%) accuracy and precision in its operation and demonstrates the necessity for deploying it to counter the accidents across the Rail Crossing Gates (a 100% safety promise). Two IR sensor is used at both far end position to detect the Rail approach toward the Crossing Gate; and, the system is designed to control the gate without any external help or Human intervention. The system required 24 mA and 4.824 A current, and 0.288 W and 58.08 W power, during standby and operating (gate opening or closing) state respectively; and the buzzer consumed only 14.17 mA current as siren and the traffic light signaled the corresponding status to warn traffics on road. `Proteus ISIS 7.7 professional' - is used for system design and simulation, and `Code Vision AVR v2.5 professional' to write the program code and burning the microcontroller ATmega16. The built-in oscilloscope is used to plot out the transient response and examining system behavior; which superposed to the objective of this project at very high degree of effectivity.
