IRJET, 2021

In India rail route is quite possibly the most widely recognized methods for transport, which is the fourth biggest rail route local area on the planet. Despite the fact that Indian rail routes has an extraordinary blast, it remains tormented in view of a portion of the significant issues like issue in door crossing, fire mishaps and issue in the track which remains unmonitored causing crash and derailment. The tracks contract and extend because of changes in season. Because of this crack may create on the track. This proposed framework distinguishes the breaks and the snags on the track utilizing sensors and alert the control room through an SMS utilizing GSM and GPS module.

IRJET, 2020

The Indian railway has one of the largest railway network in the world, crisscrossing over 1,15,000 km in distance ,all over India. However , with regard to reliability and passenger safety Indian railways is not up to global standards. Among other factors cracks developed on the rails due to the absence of a timely detection and the associated maintenance pose serious questions on the security of operation of rail transport. A recent study revealed that over 25% of the crack length is in need of replacement due to the development of the cracks on it. Manual detection of cracks is cumbersome and not fully effective owing to much time consumption and requirement of skilled techniques. This project works is aimed at addressing the issue by developing an automatic railway tracking detection system. This work introduces a project that aims in designing robust crack detecting scheme a system which avoids the train accidents by detecting the cracks on railway tracks. And also capable of alerting the authorities in the form of SMS messages along with location by using GPS and GSM modules. The system also includes a distance measuring sensors which displays the crack deviation distance between the railway tracks.

ABSRACT: Railways are large infrastructures, and in many countries they are the primary mode of transport. Because of their capacity, speed and reliability the railways have become a prime means of transportation. Only a small increase in railway efficiency has significant economic benefits for the rail industry. Therefore, a proper maintenance plan is required to control inspection frequency optimization and/or skill and efficiency improvements. Accidents that occur due to track breakage have been a major problem for the safety of life and timely service management of the railways. It is important to detect this breakage in real time before a train eventually reaches the damaged track and is subject to an accident. In this paper, the integration of ultrasonic crack detection method and complete station for eternal railway track geometry survey system into use and operation. This system consists of a GPS module, GSM modem, IR sensor, PIR sensor to put crack detection, contact intent and identification of any living being crossing the railroad track into operation. The GPS module and GSM modem lead to railway geometric parameter recognition and transmission of crack detection to nearby railway station. This paper also discusses the summation of a non-destructive ultrasonic test (NDT) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to hold the information in a continuous record without interruption in nobility during run-time. The PIR sensor is executed to keep manual patrolling and track finding of living beings away. This can work both during the night and the daytime. The summing up of both WSN and NDT technologies will form different advanced and trending applications to make wireless material scanning more cost-effective in real time.

The Indian railway has one of the largest railway networks in the World, over 1, 15,000 km in distance. A recent study revealed a Fact that over 25% of the track length is in need of replacement Due to development of cracks on it. Manual detection of tracks is cumbersome and not fully effective. This project is done with Aim towards addressing the issue by developing an automatic Railway track detection system integrating an infrared IR crack Sensing module based on GSM technology by which information about the location of the crack can be conveyed to the central Location enabling immediate attention and intervention of the Maintenance personals. The whole construction of automatic railway track crack detection system consists of various components. It includes GSM module, GPS receiver, arduino board, GPS antenna, IR sensor, Battery and DC motor. The working platform for the whole system is Arduino board. The GSM module is interfaced with arduino through coding or programming. Similarly the GPS receiver is also interfaced with arduino through a specified program. The GPS i.e the global positioning system here plays a major role in the whole system, this is used to determine or to lock the exact location of the crack where the crack is being detected. The longitude and latitude of the exact crack location is determined through GPS antenna. The GSM Module also plays a vital role in the whole system. It is used to pass the message to the nearby station or maintenance center.

Autonomous Railway Track Crack Detection and Accident Prevention System

2020

Train derailment is a predominant issue that needs to be solved, the major cause of the derailment is due to cracks and bridges on the track. To overcome this problem we have proposed an autonomous system (Robot) that uses an ultrasonic sensor with a range of 30 cm primarily based on distance measurement and density sensor to detect deeper cracks, the sensor is used to detect cracks present on the railway track by sending ultrasonic waves. As soon as the crack is detected the GPS Sensor is used to find out the latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates of the area where the crack is detected. The detected crack along with the exact location is sent to a nearby railway station using a GSM module. These data are then sent to the cloud server which is then analysed and compared with the threshold and the cracks can be rectified on the exact location of the damage. The proposed self-governing system is a robot along with wheels and motors which are controlled by a motor driver. Here we ar...

IRJET-Railway track crack detection based on GSM technique

Transport is a key necessity for specialization that allows production and consumption of products to occur at different locations. Transport has throughout history been a spur to expansion as better transport leads to more trade. In India, to find that rail transport occupies a prominent position in providing the necessary transport infrastructure to sustain and quench the ever-burgeoning needs of a rapidly growing economy. Today, India possesses the fourth largest railway network in the world. The principal problem has been the lack of cheap and efficient technology to detect problems in the rail tracks and of course, the lack of proper maintenance of rails which have resulted in the formation of cracks in the rails and other similar problems caused by anti-social elements which jeopardize the security of operation of rail transport. In the past, this problem has led to a number of derailments resulting in a heavy loss of life and property. Cracks in rails have been identified to be the main cause of derailments in the past, yet there have been no cheap automated solutions available for testing purposes. Hence, owing to the crucial repercussions of this problem, they have worked on implementing an efficient and cost effective solution suitable for large scale application.

Railway Track – Crack Detection System by Using Arduino Microcontroller

International Journal of Engineering Applied Sciences and Technology

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.
