In this paper, I will study the various types of cracks practically happened in the railway track. One of the major accidents in the railway network occurs due to cracks in track side faults. Train accidents due to cracks amounts to 60%, during the year 2011 [1]. Such accidents can avoid if tracks are properly monitored towards a crack, which motivates me to this project. Railway crack detection (RCD) in track system consists of IR RX-TX pair arrangement for crack detection and Magnetic switch can be used to find the distance of the Robot travelled. The collected data is transmitted to the base module through GSM connectivity. The primary functioning of the GSM module is to send the present location of fault to the actual location of base station and its relative distance to the appropriate authorities by means of an SMS. The complete hardware typing of this solution is carried out and it used DC motor and associated drivers.
