the primary goal of this project is to enhance the working of the railway gates. traditionally operated manually on a large scale, which welcomes the risk of human errors that could lead to massive accidents. the objective is to atomize the working of the railway gate by using plc (programmable logic controller) based system to operate the gates automatically with help of sensors. this automation not only enhances the system appearance but also reduces human efforts to open and close the railway gates. the system requires only supervision at particular instances which reduces human involvement at a large scale thus reducing the possibility of human error. the train is detected with the help of the sensors mounted at either sides of the gates that provides ne cessary signals to raise an alarm that provides information of the arrival of the train as well as its direction and then operate the gates. plc works as a backbone accompanied by a lot of other hardware and software used.
