Onboard Dynamic Rail Track Safety Monitoring System
For Indian Railways, it addresses a long-standing safety problem by enabling real-time track monitoring, potentially saving lives.
This work proposes a system for continuous monitoring of rail track conditions to prevent disasters and collisions, capable of alerting trains to track dislocations, soil strength changes, and obstacles at unmanned level crossings.
This proposal aims at solving one of the long prevailing problems in the Indian Railways. This simple method of continuous monitoring and assessment of the condition of the rail tracks can prevent major disasters and save precious human lives. Our method is capable of alerting the train in case of any dislocations in the track or change in strength of the soil. Also it can avert the collisions of the train with other or with the vehicles trying to move across the unmanned level crossings.
