A Video-analysis-based Level Crossing Using Microcontroller

Safety and security are the most discussed topics in the road and railway transportation field. Latest security initiatives in the field of railway transportation propose to implement video surveillance at level crossing(LC)environments. In this paper we explore the possibility of implementing a smart video surveillance security system that is tuned toward detecting and evaluating abnormal situations induced by users(pedestrians, vehicle drivers, and un attended objects)in LCs .In this paper, we propose a real-time embedded train recognition system for authentication for vehicle. The system is implemented on embedded platform and equipped with novel train recognition algorithm. Here using webcam, video is captured .In the pc section we have database were the authentication the matching will done .after that using RS232 module to transmitted authentication details. In the receiver section, to collect the transmitted details and given to PIC .The control unit is called PIC. After that identified until provided information to the buzzer and alert led’s.
