This document describes an automatic railway gate controlling system with signals that was designed by a group of engineering students. The system uses an ATMega8535 microcontroller and IR sensor pairs placed before level crossings to detect approaching trains. When a train is detected, the controller closes the gates until the train passes through. This automation reduces accidents by removing human error, saves time by keeping gates closed only as long as needed, and reduces costs by removing the need for human gate operators and separate departments to manage level crossings.

- 3. INTRODUCTION The rapid development of transportation methods provides huge options to the humans in choosing the fast and safe trip towards their destination. The railway’s contributes its major part in passenger transportation. Because of it is economical and safer. The railway tracks are laid in most of areas. The tracks may laid over the roads with incorporated level crossing signals. In some places the unmanned level crossings are constructed. In such places automation is needed to prevent the accidents. Such railway gate automation is carried out in this project.
- 4. ABSTRACT Here the presence of the trains is identified prior to its appearance at the level crossings. This identification causes the gates to be closed until the train passes away from that level crossing. Here the complete automation is carried out using ATMega8535 microcontroller. The IR sensor pair is placed at some distance prior to the level crossings when the train appears in sensor area, the controller switches the gate to be close. After the train passed away the controller sends command to open the gate.

- 6. ADVANTAGE: Reduces Chances of human error. Less Time consuming. No human resource is required. Accurate timing is maintained even if the train is late. Maintenance cost is less No need to appoint the separate department Its function can’t be interrupted by any expert rail way department
