Abstract

Railway transportation needs regular inspections and rapid maintenance to ensure public safety. Traditional manual inspections are time-consuming and expensive. Though the defect can also be identified by humans it is time-consuming based robotic systems could be placed on railway tracks to detect the cracks which are controlled from the control rooms. In this paper, an ultrasonic flaw detector is used for detection. When detected, the automated system provides image processing, which could be stored in cloud storage, consisting of images of detected railway tracks. Such locations are then marked, and more careful inspection can be performed by a dedicated operator with very few locations to inspect. This paper proposes the design of crack finding robot on railway tracks. At present India possess the fourth largest position in the world in terms of the network. It is the lifeline of about 25 million people using it daily. This paper uses a powerful monitoring system to address the defects of the existing railway surveillance system to detect cracks in railway tracks. To design IOT enabled robot that informs the railway controller about damaged tracks when detected by the robot and sends the information through wireless communication-based devices.
