Automatic Railway Gate Signaling Simulator and Controller

This project is used for automatically close/open the railways gate when the train comes. Sensors are placed in the two sides of the track. If the train reaches one sensor, the gate will automatically close & then if the train reached the second one the gate will automatically open. The Microcontroller will sense the presence of trains by using Infrared red sensors. So on sensing the train on one path, the controller will give pulses to the stepper motor to close the gate automatically. One main advantage of this project is, if the controller senses any obstacle during the closure of gates (Unable to close the gate) it automatically signals the nearby computer to send this message to a remote CELL Phone thro WAP.
