Railway Track, Fault Detection, Digital Image Processing.Abstract
The Indian Railways are the lifeline of India's transport system. Being the fourth largest railway network in the world, it covers the length and breadth of the country. In 2018-19, 23.12 million people and 3.36 million metric tons of freight depended on the railways on a daily basis. They bind the economic life of the country and foster the development of industry and agriculture. However, poor maintenance of the railway tracks has caused several accidents over the years. Derailments due to the presence of faults in railway tracks cause heavy loss of life and railway property. Therefore, timely detection and analysis of these cracks is of utmost importance. This proposal aims at providing a cost effective solution to the problem of fault detection in railway tracks using digital image processing.
