ROBUST RAILWAY CRACK DETECTION Under the guidance of Ms.V.S.Chitra, Assistant Professor, SIT Presented by R.P.Kirthigadevi (921711112013) R.Preethi (921711112027) V.Vishnu Priya (921711112048)

ABSTRACT Automatic crack detection. Reduces heavy loss of life and property. Cost effective solution. Low cost sensors. Error location detected.

OVERVIEW Introduction Existing method Proposed method Tool requirement Block diagram Implementation Future Enhancement Work plan Conclusion Hardware snapshots

INTRODUCTION Railway problems are detected and reduced. Proposes roubustness solution to crack detection. Sensor based crack detector. Implementation for several applications.

EXISTING METHOD Manual detection . High cost Track crack detection only possible.

PROPOSED METHOD Low power consumption. Less analysis time. Obstacle & flood detection in single system. Exact error location can be detected . Indication through GPS & GSM.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS ATMEL Micro controller SIM900 GSM module IWAVE GPS module MAX232 IR SENSORS FLOOD SENSOR OBSTRACLE SENSOR

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Keil c IDE Embedded c  

CRACK DETECTION UNIT ATMEL CPU LCD DISPLAY GSM MODEM RS232 GPS module IR TX GPS module SCU IR RX Flood sensor IR RX IR TX Obstacle detector

IMPLEMENTATION GPS IR Sensor

Obstacle Sensor

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT Regularly checked by fully automatic vehicle. Separate sensors are not required. Obstacle differentiation can be implemented.

WORK PLAN January 1st week - Discussion of the project January 3rd week - Preparation for 1st review. February 1st week-Required components are collected February 3rd week-Literature review discussed. March 4th week – Demo of the project.

CONCLUSION proposed system reduces manpower. Cost effectiveness. Increase protection.
