False Base Station (FBS) radar can be crucial in uncovering fake base stations and collects spam messages received by end-users

 

In recent years, an increasing interest has been shown in false base detection systems. These rely on software that many people download directly to their cell phones. A false base station (FBS) can detect a train's movement by triangulating the angle with which it is traveling and the radius from which it is traveling. Once this information is input into the program, the system tells the person carrying it whether or not to be concerned. If the sensors and software work well, it should alert the person to a potential collision. False base stations are usually meant to catch a train before it strikes a victim and causes catastrophic damage or death. However, if the sensors do not work as planned, then they will simply serve as a piece of junk that can be discarded after a certain time.

Another reason why this system works so well is that it does not rely on visual cues alone. The system uses a range of physical signals. Some of these physical signals are used to determine if the train is going to hit a particular area. Other physical signals are used to determine where the base station will need to be when the train comes in contact with it. Based on these signals, the people at the base station will either issue a warning or close down the system.

A false base station (FBS) can be especially dangerous when it comes to objects that travel faster than the speed of sound. In this case, there is nothing for the human eye to see. Therefore, the object could get caught up in the speed of sound and simply cause the control station to go haywire. When this happens, the entire system could come crashing down around the operator and people inside. People may be killed or injured because of the speed of the trains, or perhaps some property is damaged as a result of the system not working.
