ALARM SYSTEM OF RAILWAY GATE CROSSING BASED ON

GPS AND GSM/GPRS, IEEE 2011
AIM:
In this project to ensure the railway safety and improve the passing efficiency in railway
crossing, we design a new railway crossing warning system based on GPS and GSM/GPRS.

PURPOSE:
The high-precision positioning of GPS and efficient transmission rate of GSM/GPRS,
combining with computer control technology are used in this system, which provides a safe
guard for railway system. We use the satellite communication to locate the train positions and
measure their speeds. The wireless data communication link will provide the information of the
train location and speed for the train control center, and in turn control the train speed and signal
display.

DESCRIPTION:
From the situation of current domestic and international railway crossing, crossing alarm
technology is a major a variety of alarm systems have been proposed previously, but all of them
have some problems. Firstly, they have poor system stability and performance; secondly, the
active sensors have some defects like this: instability and short reliable life cycle which would be
replaced every two years, complex working principle, cost-ineffective, prone to failure, not
convenient for the work, and the most serious problem is that the car will bring vibration and
displacement of loose, which will cause the alarm to fail. These problems often bring some
illusion and trouble to the guarder, so it is one of the major security risks on railway. The system
integrated with GPS and GSM/GPRS networks positioning, combined the advantages of the two
and overcome the disadvantages of them, which made the performance improved significantly.
We use the satellite communication to locate the train positions and measure their speeds. The
wireless data communication link will provide the information of the train location and speed for
the train control center, and in turn control the train speed and signal display.

TECHNOLOGY:
GPS:
GPS (Global Positioning System) technology is used to find the location of any object or
vehicle to monitor a child continuously using satellite signals. Three satellite signals are
necessary to locate the receiver in 3D space and fourth satellite is used for time accuracy.GPS
will give the information of parameters like longitude, latitude and attitude. With the help of
these parameters one can easily locate the position of any object. In this GPS technology, the
communication takes place between GPS transceiver and GPS satellite.

GSM:
GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) is the technology that underpins most
of the world's mobile phone networks. The GSM platform is a hugely successful wireless
technology and an unprecedented story of global achievement and cooperation. GSM has
become the world's fastest growing communications technology of all time and the leading
global mobile standard, spanning 218 countries. GSM is an open, digital cellular technology used
for transmitting mobile voice and data services. GSM operates in the 900MHz and 1.8GHz bands
GSM supports data transfer speeds of up to 9.6 kbps, allowing the transmission of basic data
services such as SMS.
