Abstract: Railway gate management technology using LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) offers several benefits for enhancing safety and efficiency at level crossings. LiDAR can accurately detect approaching trains and vehicles, providing real-time data on their speed and distance. It can identify obstacles or individuals near the tracks, reducing the risk of accidents. Traffic signals at railway gates can be adjusted dynamically based on real-time data, minimizing delays for vehicles when no trains are approaching. LiDAR sensor emit laser pulses and measure the time it takes for the light to return after reflecting off objects. They create precise 3D maps of the surrounding area. A computer or server that processes the raw data collected by the LiDAR sensors. This system integrates with the railway's existing signalling and control infrastructure. Overall, the deployment of LiDAR technology in railway gate management can significantly enhance safety and operational efficiency while providing valuable data for future improvements.
