Advanced Method to Detect Railway Track Damage Using Raspberry pie and Internet of Things

The main objective of this paper is to make a simple, effective and portable robot for the identification of major railway track damages using Raspberry pie and Internet of things. It also uses a GPS system to get the exact location of the damaged track. A robot will move across the railway track with IR sensors placed on it to detect flaw on the track. Its location will be traced and will be transmitted to the main server. Many projects have been already done on this topic earlier using image processing but this paper mainly focuses on identifying the demarcated areas of track circuit on which there is no such arrangements are done to detect any flaw in the track with the help of latest technologies. It will also reduce the responsibilities of human to manually check the track damages
