Design and Development of Robot Base Crack Detection System for Railway Track

Abstract

Rail transportation in India is at the forefront of providing the necessary transportation infrastructure to satisfy the demands of a quickly expanding economy. India currently has the fourth-largest rail network in the entire world. Yet, we have not met international standards in terms of dependability and safety in railway sector. The biggest challenge in conducting a railway analysis is identifying structural flaws. They risk straying and losing their intended course if not properly managed. The proposed device is appropriate for rail transportation since it allows for the early detection and prevention of accidents. This will be installed on the train engine for the user to use the crash sensor. As a result, if a specific crack is discovered on the trail, the train automatically slows down and stops somewhere, and the exact location of the crack is communicated to the control room. Second, the subsequent cause of accidents is avoided by using identical sensors installed on the engine of two vehicles travelling down the same road. The sensor detects the same signal from a different vehicle and automatically applies the brakes and stops the vehicle at a specific distance. Train diversions might take advantage of several losses from train accidents.
