Railway track security system

Abstract

Transport plays a vital role to carry the passengers and goods from one place to another. Among all the forms of transportation, railway is the most significant one. Now-a-days the railway network has become highly prone to accidents. So, proper inspection is needed regarding this issue. Manual observation of the tracks is quite impossible and impractical. Hence to avoid this hindrance and improve the accuracy, we are proposing an automated inspection system. The proposed system will identify collision of two trains on the same track and also provide automated road crossing security using FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) sensors. Moreover, the system will detect any kind of breakage using vibration sensor and obstacle using LDR and Laser sensors. In case of any kind of error, the microcontroller will get the signal and the system will convey the message through GSM module to the nearest control room for necessary aid.
