RAILWAY TRACK FAULT DETECTION PROJECT
ABSTRACT
The number of accidents involving railroad railings is on the rise. Nowadays, we use various modes of transportation such as track, bus, flight, and car, but above all, we choose to travel by rail because it is cheap, takes less time to deliver our product, system, and it is the most cost efficient,
but the number of accidents on railway track due to track faults and when any obstacle came in front of the train. This paper discusses one of the most effective methods for avoiding train collisions. We are using a PLC to control a vibration sensor and an ultraviolet sensor.
The vibration sensor detects faults on the railway track, and the ultraviolet sensor detects obstacles in front of the train. After detecting the fault, the plc will notify the loco pilot in the train via the scada screen, as well as the control room. This project’s main components include a programmable logic controller (PLC), a scada monitor, an ultrasonic sensor, a vibration sensor, and so on.
We use a scada moniter because it is a bidirectional data transferring device that can display the output of a fault and assist us in taking action based on the fault on the track. With the assistance of this proposed project, trains can run on time during the winter season when conditions are foggy and at night when the driver is unable to see anything. It may be beneficial to the Indian railway.
PLC, Vibration Sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor, Scada Monitor, and Alarm System are examples of keywords.
I. INTRODUCTION
The primary goal of this project is to alert us if there is a break in the railway line or if there is an object in front of the railway track. In this proposed project, programmable logic control (PLC) is used to perform multiple tasks with a single device, and the operation of vibrating and ultrasonic sensors is controlled by the plc. A vibrating sensor that is used to detect breakage in a railway track.
Today, the Indian railway network has a track length of 1,15,000 kilometers, a route length of 65,000 kilometers, and 7,500 stations. It has the world’s fourth largest railway network, trailing only those of the United States, Russia, and China. In 2011, the Indian railway carried over 8,900 million passengers per year, or more than 24 million passengers per day, and 2.8 million tons of freight per day.
Despite boasting such impressive statistics, the Indian rail network is still on a growth trajectory, attempting to meet our country’s economic needs. Though rail transport in India is rapidly expanding, the associated safety infrastructure falls short of international standards. To demonstrate the severity of the problem, official statistics show 14 accidents in 2011, and 15 accidents in 2012.
Further investigation into the factors that cause these rail accidents reveals that approximately 90% are caused by cracks in the rails caused by natural causes (such as high expansion due to heat). The current work is aimed at lowering the accident rate by automatically detecting track breakage/s. Current railway technologies include the Anti-Collision Device (ACD), which is a self-acting microprocessor-based data communication device designed and developed by Kankan Railway.
The system consists of Loco ACDs with a console (message display) for the driver (in each Loco Engine), Guard ACDs with remotes (fitted in Guard Vans), Station ACDs with consoles (fitted in Station Masters’ Cabins), Manned and Unmanned Gates ACDs with hooters and flashers (in each location), and Repeater ACDs (fitted in locations with radio communication obstructions such as hilly areas) that work together to prevent
