Abstract

- In India railways transportation service is the cheapest and most convenient mode of passenger transport as well as for long distance and suburban traffic. Almost 80% of the transport in India is being carried out by railway network. The main cause of the accidents happened in railways are railway track crossing and unidentified crack in rail tracks. About 60% accidents are happened at railway track crossing and due to crack in railway tracks resulting in loss of precious life of passengers and loss of economy. Therefore, there is a need to have new technology which will be robust, efficient and stable for both crack detection in railway track as well as object detection. This project discusses a Railway track crack detection using sensors and is a dynamic approach which combines the use of GPS tracking system and GSM module to send alert messages and the geographical coordinate of location. An Arduino Microcontroller is used to control and coordinate the activities of this device.
