Abstract: Railways are one of the important transports in India. There is a need for manual checking to detect the crack on railway, even though the inspection is made regularly, sometimes the crack may go unnoticed. Because of this the train accident or derailment may occur. To avoid this situation, we have proposed this railway crack detection system. Here, ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the crack in the railway track. We place both the ultrasonic sensors on the train for obstacle and crack detection. If the crack is detected, notification is shown by LCD to the driver and is send through GSM to the base station, and EPM module is used to halt the train depending on the pressure applied
