Train Wheel Fault Detection Using Machine Learning

Abstract: The development of the country is based on its economy and Railways play an important role for developing countries like India to boost the economy of the nation. Wheel Defects are of major concern in today’s time as it may lead to poorer economy of the nation as well as it can be life threatening at moments. Hence it is very important to tackle the defects as early as possible. The main reason that these defects are not detected is due to the lateness in identifying them. Early detection can help save money, time and most importantly human being life. The paper proposes a Machine learning algorithm for detection of these Wheel defects at early stage and informing the same.
