Abstract

In our project AUTOMATIC RAILWAY TRACK CRACK DETECTION USINGULTRASONIC SENSORAND GSM MODEM” beings with an introduction to railway track Inspection and it’s various applications. The sensors are used to detect the crack in the railway track automatically and this signal is given to FM transmitter unit. FM receiver unit is fixed to the nearest railway station. The transmitted signal is received by the receiver unit, and gives the information to the station master by alarm with indication. This is a very efficient method of checking the cracks in the railway track and this is to be used in modern engineering industries. The manual efforts can be completely avoided by using this modern equipment
