Section 161 of Railway act indicates “If any person driving or leading a vehicle is negligent in crossing an unmanned level crossing, he shall be punishable with imprisonment which may extend to one year.”

Section 131 of the Motor Vehicle Act indicates that “Every driver of a motor vehicle at the approach of any unguarded railway level crossing shall cause the vehicle to stop and the driver of the vehicle shall cause the conductor or cleaner or attendant or any other person in the vehicle to walk up to the level crossing and ensure that no train or trolley is approaching from either side and then pilot the motor vehicle across such level crossing, and where no conductor or cleaner or attendant or any other person is available in the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle shall get down from the vehicle himself to ensure that no train or trolley is approaching from either side before the railway track is crossed”

However due to non-following of relevant rules by the road users, many accidents are occurring resulting in loss of precious life at unmanned level crossings.

Suggest solutions for reducing accidents at unmanned level crossings.

Proper fancing should be done around the railway tracks and after some distance there should 4-5 persons assign duty to watch in nearby tracks areas and CCTV cameras should be kept so any mal-pratices going on in train can also be captured through CCTV footage

I would like to propose the design of Anti-Collision Device.This design can fully automate the railway system from including the unmanned crossing as well as time management.This design coupled with the software part can run the entire system with the help of reliable sensor network.Features-
1.Unique design of sensor which is reliable(100%),durable and cheap in long run.
2.Hard-wired system,hence zero chance of interference or radio blackout.
3.Much cheaper than existing design(10 lakh/km)

Technological use:
1. Railway: Install Automatic gate with warning lights and sound to stop the motorist crossing over.
2. Railway: If not feasible cost-wise to implement it, we can only have Warning light and sound triggered by approaching train. It can be monitored centrally. The driver of the train can report of all the crossing to better manage it.
3. Local Authorities: Educate nearby people of the danger and carry out surprise check by police with fine.

LEVE CROSSINGS SHALL BE UNDER DIGITAL CONTROL.IN ALL LEVEL CROSSINGS UNDER COMPUTERISED BY CENTRAL OR MAIN STATION.JOB OPPRTUNITY CAN BE OPEN THROUGH SHIFTING CHANGE IN LEVEL CROSSING,THOSE WHO ARE IN IT DEPT OR IT KNOWLEDGEABLE.THERE RUDDER CAN BE INSTALLED JUST LIKE FLIGHT SYSTEM.

Make trains move slower at rail crossings which are unmanned,near to the railway station.
people should be made aware of the rail accidents that happen at rail crossings and announcements should be arranged for people to not to cross when the train is nearby 100m from the crossing which is unmanned. The announcements may be made automatic by using sensors that recogize the train movement and their distance from the unmanned railcrossing.

there should not be any moaned or unmanned railway crossings as it finally lead to delay and subject to risk safety of commuters as mechanical devices after aging will increase the failure rate, the best idea to form a separate organization jst like NHAI or NITI AAYOG involved in planning, negotiation and construction of ROB having both railway and state authorities ,
