This paper proposes a railway route crack detection system. More particularly, this paper presents the detection system that is capable of detecting any cracks or disjoints in the railway tracks by using microcontroller based smart robot. Most of the goods are transferred from one region to another region through railways only due to its low transportation cost, fastness, reliability and less chance of accident. For long distance travel, lots of people prefer railways rather then roadways as trains are very much comfort and fare are also very less. Therefore, for these reasons it is very necessary to provide a safety to the tracks of railways. Hence for this an advance technology-based robot is develop that is capable of locating faults or cracks in the tracks and protect the trains from any accident.
