Abstract: The objective of this paper deals with automatic railway gate opening at a level crossing without human intervention. In the present work it is proposed to substitute fully automated railway gate opening feature and as well as automated platform bridge facility in the station which helps peoples to move from flat form to flat form. Now a day all over the world accidents are common because of lack of technology, human carelessness at right time. And these accidental barriers cannot be completely avoidable but some fruitful steps definitely reduced to some extent, in account of this the initiative steps is required to avoid many humans death at any place and time by introducing new technologies, this effort has been taken in this work by adopting automatic railway gate opening without gate keeper near level crossing and automated platform bridge. The above said system works on microcontroller based technique and rack and pinion mechanism which is employed to operate Platform Bridge

Keywords: Level crossing, Automated platform bridge
