ABSTRACT
The Railroad related accidents are more dangerous than other transportation accidents in terms of injurity and death
rate etc. Therefore more efforts are necessary for improving safety and security. There are many railways crossing
which are unmanned due to lack of manpower needed to fulfill the demand signal is sent to the control room and the
gate is closed and stays closed until the train crosses the gate and crossing side sensors. When Hence many
accidents occur at such crossing since there is careless of the functioning of the railway gate when a train arrive the
crossing (1). The main aim of this paper is to manage the control system of railway gate using microcontroller and
versus types of sensors. The proposed model has been designed using x-bee sensor and microcontroller to avoid
railway accidents occurring a unattended railway gates if implemented detection of train approaching the gate can
be sensed by means of two sensors placed on either side of the gate. This work depends on the two sensors placed
on either side of the gate. This work utilizes two powerful magnetic sensors is fixed at incoming and similarly the
other magnetic sensor is fixed at outgoing side of the train direction. Sensors are fixed on both sides of the gate. We
call the sensors along the train direction as foreside sensor and the other as after side sensor. When foreside sensor
gets activated the sensed side sensor activated and the signal about the departure is sent to the microcontroller motor
turns in opposite direction and gate opens and motor stops automatically (1).

I. INTRODUCTION
Railways preferred the expensive mode of
transportation over all the other means. This project is
createing using x-bee sensor to avoid railway accidents
happening at railway gates where the level crossings.
Microcontroller sends the signal to the Motor driver IC
L293D which drives the dc motor for the gate closing
and opening operation (2) . As the train approaches the
specified range, the dc motor rotates clockwise which
closed the railway gate and if the train go out of the
specified range the dc motor rotates anticlockwise
which opened the railway gate (2). This system was
operated after signal received from the cloud. This
signal is used to trigger the microcontroller for
operating the Motor driver IC. The abstraction of this
system is to provide the advanced control system
available to everywhere (2).
A classification of accident by their effects derailments.
Head on collision one type of train accident is when two
trains collide front face with each other or train
colliding on the same track from opposite ends called
head on collision(3). Rear end collision the other kind is
when a train collides into the other that is in front of it
called a rear end collision. When the train arrives in a
particular direction the transmitter IR senses and
generates appropriate signal then at the same time the
IR receives the signal and generates an interrupt. When
interrupt is generated the stepper motor rotates in
clockwise direction. When the interrupt ends the stepper
motor rotates in anti-clock wise direction (3).
II. METHODS AND MATERIAL
Literature Survey :
Information systems on railway stations are variously
referred to as a Passenger Information System and
Passenger Information Display. Professional railway
staffs often refer to them as Train Describers. Whatever
it is called, there must be a reliable way of informing the
passengers where the trains are going and incoming to
the station. Passenger information systems are essential
