Efficient model for IoT based railway crack detection system

In present's world, transport is a key requirement. The fourth biggest railway set of connections in India is the human race. This paper discuss about the detection of crack in a railway track. In previous methods GPS module and the GSM modem were used. It leads to high cost. The effective railway crack detection system utilizing the simple components inclusive of a RF transmitter and receiver, LED -LDR set up. It has low cost compared to the existing techniques. In this paper LED and LDR assembly is utilized to find out the crack in a railway track. RF is an obvious option for message, because it allows more information to be transferred at high speed and over long remoteness. Here the sensor data is transferred to control room or monitoring unit. In this paper we proposed an IoT Based crack detection system using LED-LDR assembly, RF transceiver include autonomous power unit using solar powered battery. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
