Railway Level-Crossing Gate Control With GSM
Similar to the above project, this is also a railway level-crossing gate control system, but it is implemented by using GSM technology. In this system, the railway level crossing gate is controlled by an SMS sent by the station master or the driver to the control area.
The system has a GSM modem interfaced with a control system. When a driver or station master sends an SMS ‘open’ to the GSM modem it receives that SMS and sends it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller acknowledges these signals and sends the command signals to the motor driver IC, which controls the direction of the motor for opening and closing the gate. Therefore, this IC sends a clockwise signal to the motor to open the gate and the status gets displayed on the LCD.
In the same way, to close the gate, another SMS needs to be sent to the microcontroller. Therefore, the motor driver drives the motor in anticlockwise direction after receiving the corresponding signals from the microcontroller.
These are the two projects based on the automatic railway gate control system for the operation of gate. There are many technologies that are available to achieve this operation including Zigbee, IR, etc. Apart from this, for any help regarding any projects, you can contact us by commenting in the comment section.
