Automatic Railway Track Fault Detecting Using Wireless Network Systems

This document proposes a system to automatically detect faults on railway tracks using wireless network systems. The key points are: - It aims to detect train derailment, avoid collisions between trains, and identify obstacles using sensors including ultrasonic and GPS/GSM modules. - The existing manual system has disadvantages like delays in transmitting information and less accuracy. - The proposed system is low-cost, can detect cracks and obstacles accurately and immediately transmit warning signals to approaching trains. - It has been experimentally tested on actual railway tracks with positive results. The system provides continuous remote monitoring of tracks to improve safety.

ABSTRACT
• The project is to provide the multi sensor railway track
geometry surveying system.
• Railway Bridge damage status is monitored by the sensor
and transfer through wireless modules.
• For easy surveying and with less delay the information can
be send to the authority.
• To avoid accident and to safeguard the people.

.
INTRODUCTION

• In the rapidly flourishing country like


ours, accidents in rail road railings
are increasing day by day.

• This project deals with one of the


efficient method to avoid train
accidents.
Existing system
• Oral communication through telephonic and
telegraphic conversations.
• IR sensors are also used to identify the
cracks
in the railway.
• LASER Proximity Detector
• Use of satellites for communication.
Existing system
• Surveying manually.
• Infrared sensor are not for external
suitable
disturbance.
•LDR sensors cannot used on the slab of the
tracks.
•It can be operated in tunnels with interruption.
Existing System Disadvantages

•Delay in transmitting the information.


•Cost is high.
•Less accuracy.
Proposed
• system
The project is cheap and it is suitable to the Indian scenario.
• The system can be operated at tunnels also, without interrupts.
• Ultrasonic sensors are used for monitoring the obstacles in
tracks.
• sensor is used for detect the cracks and breakage of tracks.

• Transmitting the information to the current train which comes on the

track.

The proposed crack detection
scheme has been tested by placing
the robot on an actual rail track.

The latitude, longitude and the


nearest railway station will be
sent as a message.

Bridge damage status is


monitored by the sensor and
wireless modules. Fig 4:
Existing System Disadvantages
Advantages
•Delay in transmitting the information.
•Its cost very low compared to existing system.
•Cost is high.
•Very accurate detection.
•Less accuracy
•It also checks surface and near
surface of the
cracking position.

•Transmitting signals are immediately transfer.

•Accidents reduced.

APPLICATIONS

• Wireless applications.
• Railway track damage detection applications.
• Industrial and access control.
• Other remote control system.
• Navigation systems.
FUTURE
• In thisENHANCEMENT
project, we are using and Ultrasonic
sensors for detecting the cracks and obstacles
in track.
• In future, we will also using the cctv
systems with IP based camera for monitoring
the visual videos captured from the track.
• It will also increase the security for the both
rails
and passengers
Conclusion
•This project is a cost effective.
•Monitoring and maintenance by human is
very difficult and takes more time.
•Initially IR sensor used but, it is less efficiency after that
uv-sensors are used for slab on the track only not for
the crack detection.
•To avoid delays, our proposed system will
immediately
notifies and informs the current train
comes on the track through wireless medium.
