Analysis of Mechanical Vibration and Fault Detection of Railway Track Using Lab View System

Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to develop a Lab view based system for analysis of mechanical vibration and fault detection of railway track. The Indian railway is the biggest means of transportation. But now a days accident due to railway are increase so it is need to have safety element in order to avoid accident. To avoid this problem we are using fault detector robot, which detects the fault in track and also detect obstacle. Vibration sensor is used for crack detection and ultrasonic sensor is used for obstacle detection. GPS provide location track as well as obstacle. SMS will display on LCD. Internet of Things (IOT) is implemented to give an update of crack and obstacle detection with location. The advantages of proposed system are that, it is cheap and suitable to the Indian scenario. The system can be helpful to operate at tunnels as well.
