Abstract
In the current railway system, it is important to have safety measures to avoid accidents and loss of human life and resources. The important issue that causes an accident is the obstacles on the track. This project deals with the efficient method to avoid accidents due to cracks on the track and obstacles. The main aim of this project is to detect the crack in the railway track and alert the nearby stations. A GPS system is being used to point the location of faults on tracks. The project presents a solution to provide an intelligent train tracking and management system to improve the existing railway transport service. The solution is based on a powerful combination of ultrasonic sensor, peripheral interface controller (PIC), global system for mobile communication (GSM), global positioning system (GPS) technologies, Bluetooth module, and Android application. Using Android application, we can send messages to nearest railway stations.
