Iot Based Sensor Network for Crack & Bend Monitoring in Railway Track

Abstract: In India railway is one of the most common means of transport, which is the fourth largest railway community in the world. Even though Indian railways has an outstanding boom, it remains plagued because of some of the major issues like problem in gate crossing, fire accidents and problem in the track which remains unmonitored causing derailment. The tracks contract and expand due to changes in season. Due to this crack may develop on the track. This proposed system identifies the cracks and the obstacles on the track using sensors The project railway crack and object detection are a forward step to improving the railway system. The system performs two main functions. The first one is detecting the crack on the railway track by using the Flex sensor and the second one is detecting the object by using IR sensor.
