Fault Detection in Railway Track using GSM And GPS System

Railways are the most preferable transport system because of their reliability, passenger safety, and ease to travel. If any misalignment or crack occurs, it creates a loss of lives. If these cracks and misalignments are not taken care of early, they may result in derailments and eventually result in a significant loss of life. To overcome this issue, a railway track crack detection system is proposed. The components like Global Position System (GPS), BUZZER, IR SENSOR, ULTRASONIC SENSOR, ARDUINO, Global System for Mobile (GSM), BATTERY, and D.C. MOTOR will be used. The cracks are detected through sensor rays. GPS can send the position of the explicit area and GSM sends the message to the station premises. The sensor detects the crack and sends a message to the maintenance room, and all connections are made with ARDUINO. Here in the place of the train, a wheeled robot will be used with the help of the dc motor. This concept will give high accuracy and no problem will be occurred during detection and saves so many lives. It can be used for railway stations and used in metro trains, gaming systems, and any crack detection system.
