The objective of this paper is to provide an automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeeper. It deals with two things. Firstly, it deals with the reduction of time for which the gate is being kept closed, and secondly, to provide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents. By the presently existing system once the train leaves the station, the stationmaster informs the gatekeeper about the arrival of the train through the telephone. Once the gatekeeper receives the information, the closes the gate depending on the timing at which the train arrives. Hence, if the train is late due to certain reasons, then gate remain closed for a long time causing traffic near the gates. By employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the sensor placed near to the gate. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates and also reduces the human labour. This type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level crossing where the chances of accidents are higher and reliable operation is required. Since, the operation is automatic; error due to manual operation is prevented. Automatic railway gate control is highly economical microcontroller based arrangement, designed for use in almost all the unmanned level crossings in the country.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0                                                        INTRODUCTION
1.1                                           BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
A level crossing occurs where a railway line is intersected by a road or  path on one level,  without recourse to a bridge or tunnel. It is a type of at grade intersection. The term also applies when a light rail line with separate right-of-way in reserved track crosses a road in the same fashion. Other names include railway crossing, railroad crossing, road through railroad, train crossing or grade crossing. Early level crossings had a lagman in a nearby booth who would, on the approach of a train, wave a red flag or lantern to stop alralic and clear the tracks. Manual or electrical closable gates that barricaded the roadway were later introduced. The gates were intended to be a complete barrier against instruction of any road traffic onto the railway. In the early days of the railways much road traffic was horse drawn or included livestock. It was thus necessary to provide a real barrier. Thus, crossing gates, when closed to road traffic, crossed the entire width of the road. When opened to allow road users to cross the line, the gates were swung across the width of  the railway, preventing any pedestrians or animals getting onto the line. With the appearance of motor vehicles, this barrier became less effective and the need for a barrier to livestock diminished dramatically. Many countries therefore substituted the gated crossings  with  weaker but  more highly  visible barriers and relied upon road  users  following the associated warning signals to stop.
Automatic Railway Gate Control System controls the automatic opening and closing the railway gate upon detecting arrival or departure of the train.
In general, Railway gates are opened or closed manually by a gate keeper. The information about arrival of train for opening or closing of door is received from nearby station. But some railway crossings are totally unmanned and many railway accidents occur at these unmanned level crossings.
To avoid the human intervention at level crossings completely, we need to automate the process of railway gate control.
We have two different Automatic Railway Gate Control circuits mentioned in this article: using 8051 and AVR.  
1.2                                              Statement of the Problem
Nowadays, the railway gate is operating by manual operation. It is operating in the area that there are railway line junction with the road. The railway gate management has to employ workers to be on duty for control the operation. Due to this, the worker will manually open and close the gate with under supervision. This prototype will introduce the automatic railway gate operation. This system will make improvement towards the manually operation before this. Human supervision will be considered if there are problems occurred while this system was operated. Automatic railway gate control systems have proved to be most suitable solution to such instances. Helping in automatically opening and closing the railway gate upon detecting arrival or departure of the train. This article aims to familiarize you with advantages of automatic railway gate control systems, their implementation in the real world and help you build your own project model.
1.3      Aim and objectives of the study
The main aim of the study is to build a device that will automatically opening and closing the railway gate upon detecting arrival or departure of the train. The objectives of this project are:

• To build the system prototype.
• To develop a prototype of railway gate that function automatically by using microcontroller.
• To develop an interfacing program for the integration part of microcontroller operation.
• To design an automatic railway gate control by using microcontroller.

Furthermore, this project is aimed to replace the gatekeepers with an automatic system. It is develop to apply the structure of interfacing program in between to give a lot of advantages.

1.4      Significance of the study

• Automatic railway gate control systems reduce the time for which gate remains closed.
• This type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level crossing where the chances of accidents is higher and reliable operation is required.
• Automatic operation prevents errors due to manual operation.
• Lastly, no human resource is required. This makes its running cost very low compared to manned gates.

1.5      Scope of the study

This project covered the operation of automatic railway gate control by using 8051microcontroller. The circuits involved such as power supply, IR sensor, light and buzzer, gate motor and LCD display. All of these operations will be combining to demonstrate the operation of microcontroller (8051). The operations of microcontroller works follow the instruction programmed. The combining circuits were constructed on Proteus software to seen whether that circuits was right or not. After that, the hardware part was constructed after all the simulation being done. IR sensor circuit is providing signal to triggered the 8051. The sensed signal wills active the gate motor and LCD display. Alarm and indication light circuit was provided as additional part of this system. Additional elements can be added without affecting the remaining elements. This allows the flexibility of the developed system

1.7      Limitations

• To establish the entire network is quite costly task.
• Energy requirements are high.
• Involves complex network of connections and require skilled workforce to build it in a good manner

1.8      Methodology
This project began with the research of the proposed title. The result of that research is then discussed with the supervisor. Once the title of project was approved, the background of study for this project was explored.
8051 was chosen as a microcontroller. Then, the circuits’ simulation was performed. In the other hand, the instruction programmed also being built for the interfacing part. After all being settled, the construction of hardware part was started after the components were being chosen. In all the steps done there are troubleshooting part to resolve the problems facing.
Between hardware part and instruction programmed built, there are integrated step that allows the 8051 microcontroller to simulate all the operations of the system. After all the part is complete to built, some analysis should being made to show what the solution of the problems occurred. It involving the comparison between the researches that had been done before this.
1.9   Project organization
The work is organized as follows: chapter one discuss the introductory part of the work,   chapter two presents the literature review of the study,  chapter three describes the methods applied, chapter four discusses the results of the work, chapter five summarizes the research outcomes and the recommendations.

CHAPTER FIVE
5.0                                 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed work has many major advantages it will reduce the accidents occurring at the railway level crossing, it will increase the accuracy and reduce errors occurring due to manual operations. It will reduce the collision of train and will also manage the route of a particular train to avoid any delay in reaching its destination. Train will always be on time at the station no delay will be caused which occurs in manual operation. Security can be implemented by placing tracker in the train in order to monitor the location of the train in case of any issue. Solar panels can be used to generate power for the system there by increasing the efficiency of the system. As the system is completely automated, it avoids manual errors and thus provides ultimate safety to road users. By this mechanism, presence of a gatekeeper is not necessary and automatic operation of the gate through the motor action is achieved. Microcontroller 8051 performs the complete operation i.e., sensing, gate closing and opening operation is done by software coding written for the controller. The mechanism works on a simple principle and there is not much of complexity needed in the circuit. Thus the automatic railway gate control using 8051 micro controller is work efficiently and its reduces the human work and time. This is the easy to control the railway gate operation and it reduces the occurrence of faults.
RECOMMENDATION FOR FUTURE WORK
· If a vehicle is between the gates, then a GSM module sends the message when an interrupt occurs
· So the train operator Stops the train earlier
· The entire track consists of number of IR modules
· If any obstruction in the track, then the GSM module will send the message to train operator
