STORY

This is an attempt to write universal instructions on the creation of automatic management railway
traffic. In this part, an simple example of signaling of a interlocking. The train turns on the red signal
when passing the traffic light, and returns the green signal as leaving the block section.

The same principle can be applied to the railway crossing for the movement of the gates and all that.

 Hardware
I used Hall sensors as train detector triggers Read
on themore
line, known Arduino devices and URB block, but
you can use a breadboard.
