Abstract
This paper presents an innovative electronic system designed to detect cracks and gaps between railway tracks accurately. Railways are a vital component of the transportation system in India, with increased railway traffic resulting in a rise in the number of accidents. To address this issue and reduce the loss of life associated with these accidents, this project proposes the use of a robot for crack and gap detection. The robot uses IR sensors to identify the precise location of cracks and gaps on tracks, while ultrasonic sensors detect any obstacles present. The system also utilizes ZIGBEE TECHNOLOGY to transmit fault detection messages via SMS to nearby stations, enabling quick repairs to be made. With this technology, faulty tracks can be identified and addressed in a timely manner, leading to fewer accidents and safer transportation for all.
