Railway crossing system using microcontroller

In Malaysia, generally there are many railway tracks crossing the main road. Therefore many systems were introduced to overcome accident between train and road user. Traditionally, the railway crossing system with the crossing gates are controlled manually. Applying the level crossing is the solution to the railway-crossing dilemma in many parts of Malaysia. Regarding this thesis it presents the development of a new electronic circuit to control traffic light system and crossing gate in railway junction. This circuit is fully automatic, and easy to use. The main components to perform this project are Microcontroller (PIC16F84A), stepper motor, stepper motor driver and display. The software is written in PIC language using MPLAB, which will control the overall circuit. The software needs to be written and download into the microcontroller to operate the circuit.
