Smart Iot-based Railway Crossing System Using Wireless Communication

Abstract

Railway Crossing Accidents Are A Major Concern In Many Countries Due To Human Errors And Improper Gate Management. This Paper Presents An IoT-based Smart Railway Crossing System Designed To Improve Safety At Railway Level Crossings. The Proposed System Uses Sensors To Detect The Arrival Of A Train And Automatically Close The Railway Gate To Prevent Vehicles And Pedestrians From Crossing The Tracks. Technologies Such As IR Sensors, RFID Modules, And A Microcontroller Are Used To Monitor Train Movement And Control The Gate Mechanism. The System Also Integrates An IoT Platform For Real-time Monitoring And Alert Notifications. This Automated System Helps Reduce Accidents, Minimises Human Intervention, And Improves The Efficiency Of Railway Crossing Operations.
