Abstract
Railway Systems remains the main component of the infrastructure of any country. Safe and efficient railway system is a necessary part of every country. Our railway system has a lot of loop holes in it which results in loss of lives and trains. In our project we have proposed a safe and sound control system which ensures safety and smooth running of railways. This system can save lives which we loose on crossing as well as man power can be reduced by this system and made an overall efficient railway system. We are using Arduino as our main controller and Rf communication to communicate with train. We are also using GSM module to send message to base in case of any issue in the system.IR sensors are used to detect the train and servo motors are used on barriers. We are controlling the train of speed when it’s near to crossing and stops it if barriers are not closed upon train’s arrival. Train speed control is achieved by the technique called Pulse Width Modulation.
Similar system is already implemented in modern countries and they are getting good results from it.
