Abstract

Railways is considered as one of the widely spread mode of transportation all over the globe. Nowadays there is an enormous increase in road and railway traffic. This rapid growth has given rise to more and more accidents at the level crossings. This is a serious concern for both railway and road traffic users. There are no easy ways for tackling this problem, but the main concern is regarding its feasibility for the fluctuating environmental conditions. In this paper, we are proposing an IoT based technique as an alternative and efficient solution for manned and unmanned level crossings. To implement this technology, we are fixing two Infrared Sensors at a pre-calculated distance to calculate the speed of train and time taken by the train to reach level crossings. With this data we are trying to automate closing and opening of gates at level crossings and to regulate road traffic users waiting time. This real time information is sent to database server with the help of Wi-Fi module through Internet of Things (IoT). With the help of GSM module, we send the intrusion detection information to the concerned train driver, station master and control room for efficient monitoring. © 2018 IEEE.
