There are many railway crossings which are unmanned due to lack of manpower and unavailability of electricity needed to fulfill the demands. Hence, many accidents occur at such crossings, since there is no one to take care of the functioning of the railway gate when a train approaches the crossing. This paper describes the automatic railway gate control system using pneumatic cylinder with sensor assistance for saving precious human lives and preventing major disasters in railway track. Here pneumatic power is used so that it can be efficient in the remote area also.
