Automatic railway gate control using arduino using a few components.Yes automatic railway gate control is possible with only a few components in your hands and i will show you the video proof.
Components Required
Arduino Uno
Servo Motor
Magnetic Read Switch
High Speed Train & Track for demo
Working
The project starts with the automatic railway gate control using arduino code is uploaded to arduino.Once the code is uploaded, arduino initiates the program in the loop.Initially for the safety purpose of railway gate arduino itself maintain the pole/rode position to 90 degrees.So that any vehicles can pass the railway track.
Here we use two sensitive magnetic read switch to find the location of the train.
One of the magnetic switch is placed after the railway gate and another one is placed before the railway gate.
If the train passes the magnetic read switch after railway gate.The magnetic read switch detect a signal and pass the received signal to arduino.
Arduino process the signal and data is given to output device ie, a motor or a servo motor.Here we are using Servo motor as output.
As we said earlier the pole attached to the servomotor for this time never changes its angle from 90 degrees which is a preset angle , sothat vehicles can cross the railway gate.
But when the train passes the second magnetic switch which is placed before railwaygate, generates a signal and send the data to arduino.
Arduino process the second signal.Here the position of the railway gate pole is maintained from 90 degrees angle to 45 degrees.Sothat all vehicles stops crossing the railway gate.
Hence collision of vehicles on train can be avoided automatically. Watch how automatic railway gate control project in action below.
