Abstract

The GPS-GSM Based System is one of the most prominent systems, which integrate both GSM and GPS technologies. In this proposed work we will present a train positioning system that employs a GPS module and a GSM modem to find the location of a train and offers an advanced feature of railway crack detection and collision avoidance. To complete the design successfully, a GPS unit, a GSM unit, a relay, LCD, two MCU units, RF Transmitter, RF Receiver, an electronic device buzzer and vibration meter are used. The objective of this project is to remotely track a train’s location and to remotely detect cracks on railway track.
