The sol ution i s bas ed on powerful combination of mobile computing, Global System for Mobile Com munication (GSM), Global Pos itioning System (GPS) technologies and software. The inbuilt GPS module identifies the train location with a highest accuracy and transfer the inform ation to the central system. The availability of the information allows the train Controller to take accurate decisions as for the train location. Positioning data along with train speed helps the central system to identify the possible safety issues and react to them effectively using the communicati on methods provided by the system.

The ever increasing operation velocities cause an increasing degree of the grave consequences both in loss of human life and severe damage to the train and other railway equipment. In the technical literature very few number of publications can be found that are dealing with investigations into the train collision processes to predict the level of forces and deformations realizing in the course of accidental collisions/crashes. The shortage of the literature sources can be explained by the extremely complicated character of the dynamics of train crashes. The paper takes an attempt to develop an iterative computation method for predicting the dynamics of train collisions/cr ashes. The solution is a comprehensive GPS/GSM based train tracking system, which provides accurate, dependable and timely information to the controller. The inbuilt GPS module identifies the train location with a highest accuracy and transfers the information to the central system via GSM. The availabi lity of th is information allows the Train Contr oller to take accurate decisions as for the train location.

So,manualinspectionand detecting a crack on these railways tracks is very tedious process and consumes. This system when compared with the traditional detection techniques. This is the basic block diagram of our proposed project. This project consist of GPS module, GSM modem, IR sensor, PIR sensor for application of communication purpose, crack detection and finding of human being present in the railway track. The GPS module and GSM modem help us to find and sending railway geometric parameter of crack detection to nearest railway station.

Loca tion data can be further processe d to providevisua l positioning using maps granting a wholesome view on train location. Positioning data along with train speed helps the administration to identify the possible safety issues and react to them effectively us ing the communication m ethods provided by the system. Additionally, this project propose s a system w hich monitors the track in front of a train for obstacle detection using multi sensor setup.
