Abstract:

There has been an increase in the road trafficas well as the rail traffic, accidents at level crossing has increased and this has caused the concern for the Indian railways. The objective of this project is to provide automatic railway gate at a level crossing replacing the gates operated by the gatekeepers. In this project we are proposing a simple solution for the level crossing in which we fix the Radio Frequency tag (RF tag) on the train. The system reduces the time for which the gate remains closed. This type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level crossing where the chances of accidents are higher and reliable operation is required. The collision of trains running on same track is also prevented by employing IR Transmitter-Receiver system at each sections of the Station and passes the information to a master control room.

Introduction :

The aim of the paper is to develop an economical train watching and protection system. Indian railways are the world's second-largest railway, with 6,853 locations, 63,028 kilometers of path, 37,840 client trains and 222,147 load cars. Yearly it brings some four.83 billion customers and 492 million plenty of freight cars. Of the eleven million passengers who climb on-board one among eight, 520 trains each day, about 550,000 have reserve accommodations. Crossroad could be a place wherever a railway and a road, or 2 railway lines, cross at identical level. It’s known as crossway in North America. There are primarily 2 styles of crossroad they're manned crossroad and unmanned crossroad. Manned crossroad is generally unbroken closed to road traffic equipped with lifting barriers. Unmanned crossroad is employed for oxen crossing. According to there are approx. 30348 level crossings (manned and unmanned) in India out of that 11563 are unmanned. Collisions at unmanned level crossings are progressively a serious downside in India. In keeping with the report revealed in Times of India by News Network most accidents i.e. four-hundredth occurred at unmanned railway level crossings. Railroad connected accidents are additional dangerous than alternative transportation accidents in terms of severity and death rate. The quantity of deaths on railway track has been on the increase within the past few years despite many measures taken by the authorities to contain such incidents. This arrange helped in reduction of accidents.

Railway Accidents is classified on the premise of cause and result, study of that helps in preventing similar ones in future. Head on collision: The train colliding on an equivalent track from opposite ends referred to as head on collision. Rear end collision: the opposite kind is once a train collides into the opposite that's before of it, referred to as a posterior collision. Derailments: A train could derail on a merely straight track which will cause the train accident. Curves; mishap of a train is a lot of common once there's a curve on the track inflicting AN accident. Junctions; a train may additionally get derailed on a junction, that is that the place wherever 2 tracks converge into one, or one diverges into 2. Accident contributors like train visibility advance signs, active warning, driver behavior, driver distraction and risk taking are known as common human issues contributors to vehicle train level crossing accident. Issue includes main road and railway characteristic are causative issue to accident at RLC. The environmental factors are snow, heavy rain, fog, or processing snow, that collision the train. The 3 main factors causative to accidents at RLC is basic safety engineering studies, human factor, engineering issue, and surroundings issue. The taxonomy

of railway intersection accident contributors was created to get hypotheses and deduction regarding specific cases and customary patterns of accident contributors.
