SMART RAILWAY TRACK SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM USING WIRELESS NETWORKS

Abstract : Railway is lifeline of India and it is being the cheapest modes of transportation and it is preferred overall than other means of transportation. When we go through the daily newspapers we come across many accidents in railroad Railings. Railroad-related accidents are more dangerous than other transportation accidents in terms of severity, death rate, etc. Train collisions form a major catastrophe, as they cause severe damage to life and property. Train collisions occur frequently and therefore, more efforts are necessary for improving safety.

 EXISTING SYSTEM :

 In this system, it focuses on the limitation of methods in their ability to detect defects in the rail foot, especially in the side edges away from the region directly below the web and how the LRUT method provides a significant improvement for the same.

 DISADVANTAGE :

 1) Delay in transmitting the information 2) Cost is high 3) Less accuracy

 PROPOSED SYSTEM :

 The authors have proposed an architecture which has sensor nodes deployed along a railway track to survey the track effectively.

 ADVANTAGE :

 1) cost is very low compared to existing system 2) Very accurate detection 3) checks surface and near surface of the cracking position 4) Immediate transfer of transmitting signals 5) Gate level controller 6) Accidents reduced
