Dimensionamento e automatização de cancelas ferroviarias na passagem de nível de Aeroporto

Abstract

The Automatic Access Control for various purposes has been gaining more interest in society in recent times and, currently, there are several needs whose solution, directly or indirectly, are related to the requirement of installation and operation of such systems, as they ensure greater reliability. This project aims to make an electronic gate that automatically controls the access of train traffic at level crossings without the need for human intervention, with the purpose of improving safety conditions, optimising the use of the road infrastructure and reducing congestion. Therefore, the system uses the microprocessor ATMEGA2560, and an IDE to write the codes that will allow the command of the system to open the gate and allow the access of the train. The project in question combines theoretical and practical concepts in the areas of Mechanics, Electrics, Electronics and Computing, and presents the step-by-step of all stages of the project, among which it is worth mentioning the modeling and mechanical construction, simulation and construction of electronics, implementation of software (Arduino IDE) with access to database and control via parallel port. Given the functionalities presented in this project, it is expected that it can contribute to improve traffic management, thus allowing the passage and interruption of vehicles during and after the train passage, as well as ensuring the safety of people, thus avoiding deaths caused by accidents at level crossings, and in contrast increasing the gains for the company and reducing costs by accidents, either by compensation or maintenance of some damage caused by the train
