What is it about?
Train accident are happening due to rail track problem. It is identified through sensors placed in the train and the status is updated in the server through IoT. If any problem is found in the track, it will be stored in the sever with the corresponding coordinates. This information will be shared to other trains which are going to pass through the same location. So the driver can slowdown the speed. Thus derailment can be avoided.

Why is it important?
This work is important because heavy loss and human life can be saved. The railway track problem can be identified initially with location information. Performances of the network like query time and processing speed are investigated.
Perspectives
This system tracks the abnormality at the beginning itself and thus avoids the chances of derailment.
