  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 t...
