Abstract

In this system of robust railway crack detection scheme using IR sensor assembly for railway track geometry surveying system by detecting the cracks on railway tracks.Most of the accidents are happen due to cracks in the railway tracks, which cannot be easily identified. The manualin spection of railway track took more time and human weariness. The proposed system introduces Bluetooth based technology to intercept the train accident. Two IR sensors are installed at front end of the inspection robot which monitors
the track and gives the status to microcontroller. If there is crack, this system identified soonly and sends the location of
crack via Bluetooth to mobile phone. The proposed broken rail detection system automatically finding the faulty railway
track without any human interference. There are many advantages with the proposed system as compared to the
traditional detective techniques. The advantages incorporate less cost, low power usages and less analysis time and also
facilitate better security standards for rail tracks and provide effective testing infrastructur
