Abstract

Train is one of the most important and widely used transportations in this world. Train can be use as cargo train, and it is also can be use as public transportation. Train is a safe land transport system when compared to other transportations such as car, motorcycle, and bus. Even though train is safer than the others, its railway still should always be in a good condition so that the accidents can be avoided. To maintain the good condition of the railway, the railways need to be monitored all the time. The problem occurs when the keyman monitor the railway by themselves. The outcome may not be precise or the worse that could happen when the keyman will miss the broken or crack area of the railway and later the accident scan easily occur and there may have casualty. Other than that, the keyman may be late to inform or alert the main station about the cracks. Due to this problem, a new technology should be created with a system solely for monitoring the train track all the time. Next, the system also will alert the main station about the cracks plus with the exact location of the railway. The main components in this project are ESP32, Laser sensor and GPS sensor. The main function of Laser sensor is to detect the cracks or broken part of the railway and it will transmit and receive the signal to detect the broken or crack area of the railway. Then, the data will be sent to ESP32. The system will alert and tell the main station about the condition of the track. Lastly, the purpose of this project is to assure the safety of the passengers, packages, and the train itself. This project provides a very good solution which the system can be easily detect the exact location or area of the track that might be in a bad condition.
