IR Sensor Based Crack Detection of Railway Track Using GSM & GPS System

Abstract

Today, India has possesses the fourth largest railway network in the world. In India, most of the commercial transport is transfer by the railway network from one place to another network and therefore, any problems occur in the same has the capacity to create major damage to the economy. However, in terms of the reliability and safety parameters, we have not provide protection to the traction system. The main problem occurs in the railway track is detection of cracks in the structure. If these deficiencies are not manage or protect at early stages they might lead to a number of derailments resulting in a heavy loss of life and railway property. This paper proposes a cost effective solution to the problem of crack detection of rail track utilizing IR sensors which detect the exact location of faulty tracks which then system operated immediately so that many lives will be saved and avoid the railway accident This project is implementation of with LPC2148 microcontroller using GSM module and GPS receiver. Here IR sensors are used to found the crack in the track, whenever crack is detected GPS receiver receives the location information. This information of the crack detecting is send to the railway authority by using GSM system. Whenever the crack is detected a buzzer will be activated to alert the surroundings and message will send automatically to the controlling station of railway authority.
