Railway Track Crack/Obstacle Detection

System using IR Sensor

Abstract: In the fast-developing country, people are facing many


accidents; it would be undesirable for any nation to lose their life for
an unwanted cause. Railways are one of the important transports in
India. There is a need for manual checking to detect the crack on
railway track and railway personnel always take care of this issue,
even though the inspection is made regularly. Sometimes the crack
may go unnoticed. Because of this the train accident or derailment
may occur. In order to avoid this situation and automate the railway
crack detection has been proposed. Here IR sensor is used to detect
the crack in the railway track and detect the obstacle presence in the
track, here we are Using Arduino microcontroller. This project
pertains to a process for monitoring the condition of rail on train
tracks and more specifically has the object of the identification of
defects detected by IR sensors on the tracks to be checked to allow
maintenance crews to subsequently find these defects. The 3 D
model will be drawn with the help of CATIA software. All the
components will be manufactured and then assembled together.
After making the assembly, the experimental testing will be carried
out. After the testing, the result and conclusion will be carried out.
