Collision Avoidance by Crack Detection in Railway Transportation System
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 12
Abstract
In today’s world the Indian railways are the enormous rail passenger transport and it is the hardihood of the country transport infrastructure. One of the most widely used and comfortable mode of transportation system is train, but sporadically, accidents are occurring due to collision as well as some other cause. The major worry about a railway analysis is detection of cracks in the structure. If these deficiencies are not controlled at early stages they might lead to a number of derailments resulting in a heavy loss of life. This paper proposes a cost effective solution to the problem of railway track crack detection using MEMS, ARM 7 and GPS module which tracks the location of track damage. Track damage status is monitored by the sensor and wireless modules, when the sensor not getting signal, immediately notifies and alert or informs to the current train or authority people on the track.
