Railways are large infrastructures, and in many countries they are the primary mode of transport. Because of their capacity, speed and reliability the railways have become a prime means of transportation. Only a small increase in railway efficiency has significant economic benefits for the rail industry. Therefore, a proper maintenance plan is required to control inspection frequency optimization and/or skill and efficiency improvements. Accidents that occur due to track breakage have been a major problem for the safety of life and timely service management of the railways. It is important to detect this breakage in real time before a train eventually reaches the damaged track and is subject to an accident. In this paper, the integration of ultrasonic crack detection method and complete station for eternal railway track geometry survey system into use and operation. This system consists of a GPS module, GSM modem, IR sensor, PIR sensor to put crack detection, contact intent and identification of any living being crossing the railroad track into operation. The GPS module and GSM modem lead to railway geometric parameter recognition and transmission of crack detection to nearby railway station. This paper also discusses the summation of a non-destructive ultrasonic test (NDT) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to hold the information in a continuous record without interruption in nobility during run-time. The PIR sensor is executed to keep manual patrolling and track finding of living beings away. This can work both during the night and the daytime. The summing up of both WSN and NDT technologies will form different advanced and trending applications to make wireless material scanning more cost-effective in real time.
