Abstract:

This project is used for automatically close or opens the slider bridges in between the track trains. The slider bridge connects the two platforms through which the passenger can walk on the platform to reach on the next platform. IR Sensors are placed on the two sides of track. If the train reaches one IR sensor 1 the slider bridge will automatically slide down and allows the train to go through the tracks and then when the train leaves the second IR sensor 2 the slider bridge will automatically open and join back the platforms. The microcontroller will sense the presence of train by using infrared sensor. So on sensing the train on one path sensors will give pulses to the Dc motor to close the slider bridge automatically. This project presents you the detailed explanation about the automatic railway platform. Normally for crossing the railway tracks we use the staircase bridges. In critical times in order to catch our train which is on another platform we go by the bridges. Sometimes we may miss the train by going through it especially elderly people or handicapped people. So, to eradicate that problem we have proposed this system. By sensing the occurrence of the train moveable platform will connect the platforms. We have used IR sensor and ultrasonic sensor for sensing the occurrence the train. And Wi-Fi module for communication purpose which is connected to the ESP8266 wifi module.
