ABSTRACT :

The aim of this project is to demonstrate the incorporation of modern

method in railway traffic control to improve, safety, speed of handling the traffic and reliability.
Here we employ the microcontroller 8051 to handle the signaling, track changing and the gate
operation . This project is done for the upcoming students to understand the basics of
microcontroller and its applications such as interfacing it with a LED, LCD and controlling of
relay and motor etc. It makes the students to directly interact with the controller and modify the
settings ,which makes them gain more practical knowledge which makes learning simple .

ADVANTAGES :
➢ Safety in railway due to the elimination of human error.
➢ Application oriented kit for the students.
➢ Makes the subject simple and interesting.

ENVIRONMENT :
✔ A Personal Computer
✔ 8051 Microcontroller Kit
✔ RS 232 Connecting cable
✔ Power Cable

COMPONENTS USED:
• Relays
• Motors
• Sensors ( Reed Switches )
• LEDs
• Resistors
• Push Buttons
• Wires and connectors
