MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641078596 A) filed by K. S. R. M College Of Engineering on June 25, 2026, for Development Of An Intelligent Railway Track Crack Detection And Monitoring System Using Mobile Robotics.
Inventors include Pandi Ganesh; Pathuru Mohan; Thippiripati Dinesh; Chillu Sudharshan; and B. Sri Hari.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: The present invention proposes a railway track crack detection system that effectively identifies cracks, misalignments, and obstacles on railway tracks using an automated robotic platform with sensor integration and real-time communication. This system/method is designed to overcome the limitations of traditional manual inspection methods, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, prone to human error, and unable to provide continuous monitoring. By combining infrared and ultrasonic sensors with GPS tracking and GSM alerts, the invention enables early fault detection, precise location reporting, and immediate notification to authorities, significantly enhancing railway safety and reducing accident risks.
