Railway
system is the most commonly used transportation system especially in India. But
due to miscommunication about the railway schedules and lack of coordination,
accidents happen. According to survey, 60 % of the accidents happen either at
crossings or cracks in railway tracks. To avoid these situations, it is
necessary to have an accurate system for both of them. This project proposes a
system which includes automated railway gates at crossings and also automatic
crack detection in railway tracks. This model is implemented using sensor
technique. The sensors are placed at a certain distance from the gate and they
detect the approaching train and accordingly control the operation of the gate.
After detecting the crack, the coordinates are tracked and sent back to control
room for further actions. This system includes IR sensors, ARDUINO
microcontroller along with GPS and GSM modules. This will help in detecting the
cracks and functioning of gates get done without any human intervention.
