Advance Railway Line Crack Detection System

Railways provide the most cost effective and most convenient mode of passenger transport both for long distance and suburban traffic. Also, most of the transport in India is being administered by railway network. Still, accidents are the main concern in terms of railway track crossing and unidentified crack in rail tracks in Indian railway. More or less 60% accidents are occurring at railway track crossing and the fault or crack in railway tracks leading to loss of precious life and loss of economy. Therefore, there is got to believe new technology which is strong, efficient and stable for both crack detection in railway track and object detection. This paper proposes faulty rail track detection. This project discusses a Railway track crack detection using image processing and may be a dynamic approach which mixes the utilization of GPS tracking system and WIFI module to send alert messages and therefore the geographical coordinate of location. A Raspberry Pi 3 is employed to regulate and coordinate the activities of those devices. This project prevents train accidents by detecting a crack in railway track using Internet of things technology.
