Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we have established into the identification of cracks and obstacles in rail tracking system. This system comprises of GSM modem, ultrasonic sensor, proximity sensor, PIC microcontroller to bring into the operation the crack detection and obstacle detection. The GSM modem contributes in transmission of railway geometric parameter of crack detection to the control room. Ultrasonic and Proximity sensors are used to detect the obstacles and crack in the track. If the cracks or obstacles are detected, the receiver sends the information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller manages the information from the sensor. The information sends to the control room or server when cracks or obstacles are detected through GSM. To store the data, about the cracking and obstacles detection, we use DBMS, which is interface with microcontrollers. Keywords: Ultrasonic sensor; Proximity sensor; GSM modem; PIC Microcontroller; DBMS.Cite this ArticleS. Ramachandran, G. Kaviya, S. Keerthana, S. Sivaranjani.
