Railway Management System using IR sensors and Internet of Things Technology

Abstract

In Indian railways, accidents are still major concern in terms of safety of people which are caused due to unmanned rail road crossing and unidentified cracks in railway tracks. By looking at such conditions, we need to implement new technology in order to reduce accidents map. The main purpose of this paper is to provide safety at unmanned railway crossing and detection of faulty tracks. Unmanned level crossing is IR sensors base system and crack detection is a dynamics approach which combines the use of GPS (global positioning system) module to collect geographical coordinate of faulty tracks and GSM (global system for mobile communication) modem to send geographical coordinate of location. Here, we have introduced IOT (Internet of Things) which controlled the crack detection system dynamically.
