摘要：When go through the daily newspapers come across many accidents in railroad railings. The trainaccidents cause severe damage to life and property. Therefore more efforts are necessary for improving safety.However, in the case of railway, distant obstacles must be detected since the braking distance of a train is very long.This project deals with one of the efficient method to detect obstacles in railway track and crack on the track. Wirelesssensor network can be used for monitoring the railway infrastructure. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wirelessnetwork consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices that use sensors to monitor physical or environmentalconditions. Ultrasonic sensors are used for detection of the obstacles in tracks. MEM sensor is used for detect thecracks and breakage of tracks. The information will be transmitted to the current train which comes on the track. Thesensors sense the crack and send the information to the microcontroller, where it responds give the command to theparticular component. Thus, this device would help to reduce the train collisions. To communicate the receivedinformation, make use of a GSM modem. The GSM module is used to send the current latitude and longitude data tothe relevant authority as an SMS. The system can be operated at tunnels also, without interrupts.
