Abstract: In India casualties due to road as well as rail accidents predominates. When we look at a single road mishap ,only a few succumbs but ,in a single rail accident hundreds to thousand tombs are laid. The objective of this paper is to provide an automatic railway gate at the level crossing ,thus replacing the present technique of manual operation done by humans. Also this type of gates can be employed in an unmanned level crossing where the chances of accidents are higher and reliable operation is needed. Since, the operation is automated, mortal accidents can be prevented . This proposed system uses Adriano Uno microcontroller and IR sensors .
