In this world people uses various types of transportation system to travel from one place to another place. Mostly they prefer to use public transportation for cheaper means of travelling. However, the safety of these economic public transportation are always in question. Though the transport departments check out the safety measures implemented in them, they are not efficient. The proposed system is suitable for railways transportation to identify the cracks in the railway tracks earlier and prevent the accidents. The derailment causes several loses in railway accidents. In this paper we use crack detection sensor, this will be placed in a hovercraft vehicle to detect cracks. By this, if some crack is detected on the track the vehicle, starts to slow and stop at respective point automatically and exact place of crack would be given to control room. The proposed system introduces cellular network- based technology, to prevent the trains accident. The cellular network device is installed at each front end of the hovercraft vehicle. If the crack is detected, automatically signal is sent and an alert is given to station. The main aim of the paper is to avoid the train accidents without manual power.
