Unmanned Railway Crossing System Based On GPS With Timing
Display
Abstract
India has one of the biggest railway networks in the world, yet the lack of appropriate technologies
makes the railway network unsafe. One such part of the railway network that can use recent
technologies for increasing the safety is the railway crossings. As of now in many places there are
unmanned railway crossings which are prone to accidents. Even in manned railway crossings there
are possibilities of human errors and carelessness.
This project aims at eliminating these problems using recent technologies like GPS and
wireless communication to make the railway crossings totally automatic and reliable. At the same
time it eliminates the need of railway staff to manually operate the crossings. In addition to the gate
closing and opening this project will also provide alarm and a accurate timing display at the railway
crossings with which the users can make a informed decision to wait or cross the railway line.
The project uses the principle of real time differential position measurement between the
train and the nearest railway crossing to calculate the distance and the arrival time to provide a
accurate information to the people crossing the railway line. It uses two separate devices, one in the
train and the other at the railway crossing to make the whole process automatic. The train has a
embedded system which has a GPS receiver connected to it with which the train can get the exact
location. Also the train has a wireless transmitter with which it can transmit the location information
to the nearby railway crossings.
The railway crossing module also has a wireless receiver connected to a embedded system
that controls the gate using a motor. Also this module has a LCD display on which the train arrival
time is displayed along with a alarm when the train is coming close to the crossing. Thus making the
system efficient and cost effective in the long term.

Existing System
1. Railway gate opening and closing has been carried on manually.

Proposed System
1. The railway gate can be closed or opened automatically.
2. Using GPS, Microcontroller, RF transceiver the location and speed of the arriving train can be
found.
