In the rapidly flourishing country like India, accidents in the unmanned railway level crossings are increasing day by day. No fruitful steps have been taken to reduce accidents. The proposed project deals automatic railway gate at a level crossing trading the gates operated by the gatekeepers. It will save time for which the gate is being kept closed as well as to provide safety to the road users by reducing the accidents. By employing the automatic railway gate control at the level crossing the arrival of the train is detected by the sensors placed near to the gate. Hence, the time for which it is closed is less compared to the manually operated gates. As operation is automatic; error due to manual operation is prevented. By the automated railway track crossing and monitoring system using Atmega16 Microcontroller will reduce the opening and closing times of the gates considerably and increase the safety of the crossing system. So the proposed project is society useful as it saves time, cost and easy to mount and monitor as its size is very small.
