Abstract |
|
Indian Railways operates one of the largest railway networks, where track cracks pose serious safety risks. Traditional manual inspection methods are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. This paper presents a smart railway track monitoring system for real-time crack detection. The system continuously monitors track conditions and autonomously detects cracks and irregularities. Upon detection, alert messages with precise GPS coordinates are transmitted to authorities using GSM technology. This enables quick maintenance response and prevents potential accidents. The proposed system reduces human intervention and inspection time. It also enhances railway safety, reliability, and operational efficiency. |
