This project is the third in a series of projects completed with the Providence and Worcester Railroad involving the design and implementation of a hazard detection system for locomotives. This project dealt with improving the range of communications of the system and testing the overall effectiveness of the system. The result was a system with adequate range and a method of automatically recording the results of the system's operation.
