Smart System for Collision Avoidance and Crack Detection on Railway Tracks

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been employed in a wide range of applications due to the low-cost and ease of installation features.One of the applications is in the road safety and highways, in a wide range of scenarios.In this paper, an GSM-based system for collision detection on rail track inspection is presented.In this project, we develop an automatic rail track inspection.The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the obstacles on the railway tracks.The mems sensor senses the angular change in the railway track.If any change occurs on the railway track then the location will be sent to the particular mobile number with the help of GPS and GSM module.
