AUTOMATIC GATE CONTROL SYSTEM
Objective:
Present project is designed using 8051 microcontroller to avoid unwanted entry of vehicles&persions gates, if implemented in spirit. This project utilizes two powerful proximity sensors, which is used to control the gate automatically.
Explanation:
The project consists of
1. Proximity sensor
2. Microcontroller
3. Relays
4. DC motor
5. Gate model
When foreside sensor gets sensed, the gate motor is turned on in one direction and the gate is closed and stays closed until.
Using simple electronic components we have tried to automate the control of gates. As a vehicle approaches the gate from either side, the sensors placed at a certain distance from the gate detects the approaching accordingly controls the operation of the gate. The gate opening and closing can be done with the help of DC motor by the specific instruction of microcontroller.
Advantages:
Avoid accidents in level crossings.
No manual work is needed.
