Abstract

In Indian railway, the smart monitoring system for the train also train track is a significant aspect to prevent accidents. Indian railway system is underdeveloped in terms of smart monitoring of the train when compared with the other developed countries. Using the smart monitoring system for train, the deterioration of the railway track could be identified and secondly, accident between two trains could be prevented, thirdly any obstacle present in railway track, could be find and removed, two coaches of the train getting disconnected during the movement of the train due to manufacturing mistakes could also be detected. It helps to detect fire in the particular coach of train. Smart monitoring of the train can be achieved by the help of some semiconductor devices such as laser, laser camera and photodiode is used. Smart monitoring system of the railway could help to monitor the train and its track in an efficient way it could be implemented in Indian railway to avoid accident and extricate people’s life.
