Abstract

This report present the development of Design a Cost Effective Railway Crack Detection System Using Ultrasonic Sensors and Arduino UNO. Railway crack continues to occur in modern architecture due to contact stresses between the wheel of the train and the surface of the railway. Thus, it will bought huge losses to the people’s lives and property. In order to reduce railway crack in railway track, a railway crack detector device installed into an essential. The approach of railway crack detection system is by using two ultrasonic sensors to detect crack for that occurs in railway track such as in KTM komunter train area. The ultrasonic sensors then integrated with Arduino itself and display message to the maintenance team so that the maintenance could done faster. Besides, the maintenance team can interact with the crack detector system and the system will continue to scan for any defect at the railway tracks by Graphical User Interface (GUI) program whether is in safety run mode or normal run mode. Arduino UNO is adopted as main control chip, data logging are achieved by using Serial Monitor and LCD functions as display message. The result of test shows this design has characters of cost effective, and will be widely used. Communication with the users is fulfilled through the GUI in this crack detection system. Its consists of safety run mode and normal run mode, which the device will run at its speed according to the mode.
