It is also one of those modes of transport where a minor human error can cause multiple fatalities as in level cross accidents, collisions, etc. A level cross, an intersection of a road and a railway line, requires human coordination, the lack of which leads to accidents. Level crosses are mostly controlled by manually operated gates. In order to avoid the human errors that could occur during the operation of gates, the proposed paper introduces the concept of railway gate automation. Present technology in India Level crossings are managed by the gatekeeper and the gatekeeper is instructed by means of the telephone at most of the level crossings, from the control room. But the rate of manual error that could occur at these level crosses are high because they are unsafe to perform without actual knowledge about the train timetable , obstacle stuck in the level cross etc. leads to the increasing rate of accidents at the level cross. Thus the railway gate automation system aims to deal with two things. It reduces the total time taken for the gate operation at the level cross and also ensures the safety of the passengers at the level cross during when the train passes. The reduction in the direct human intervention during the gate operation, in turn, helps to reduce the collision and accidents at the level cross. Since the gate operations are based on the sensors, the gates are closed and opened when the train is at an optimum distance away. The paper thus intends to develop an automatic railway gate control system which is more reliable and secured than the existing manual systems.It proposes a unique and economical method for improving the safety of the level crossings.enPneumatic Railway GateI R SensorControl Systemtext::report
