Sustainable Automated Detection of Railway Track.

Abstract

When going through the daily newspapers many accidents in railroad railings are found. Railroad-related accidents are more dangerous than other transportation accidents in terms of severity and death rate etc. Therefore, more efforts are necessary for improving safety. Destructive forces of a train are usually no match for any other type of vehicle. Train accidents cause a major catastrophe, as they cause severe damage to life and property.Railway safety is a crucial aspect of rail operation all over the world. Here the aim is to help the railway administrations concerned to strengthen their safety culture and develop the monitoring tools required by modern safety management. The first problem tackled is cracks in the railway track. Also railroad intersections are very unique, special, potentially dangerous and yet unavoidable in the world. During the normal operation, there is every possibility of accidents occurring even with very little negligence in procedure and the result is of very high risk. A derailment is said to take place when a vehicle such as a train runs off its rails. This does not necessarily mean that it leaves its track. Although many derailments are minor, all result in temporary disruption of the proper operation of the railway system, and they are potentially seriously hazardous to human health and safety. In emergency situations, deliberate derailment with derails or catch points is sometimes used to prevent a more serious accident.So a method to detect any problem in the track is implemented. Each year, accidents at level crossings not only cause fatalities or serious injuries to many thousands of road users and railway passengers, but also impose a heavy financial burden in terms of disruptions of railway and road services and damages to railway and road vehicles and property. A very high number of these collisions are caused by the negligence, incompetence or incapacity of road vehicle drivers. This is the second problem tackled here. Since it is the railway which must bear the responsibility for ensuring that it is protected from the transgressions by road users (despite the fact that in many countries the law gives it priority of passage over road users), it is the railway which also has to shoulder most of the financial burden of providing this protection. So a method to prevent this kind of accident is also implemented.
