Abstract

A solution for detecting and alerting to intrusions or obstacles in an area. One or more sensing devices can be used in combination with computer processing capabilities to monitor an area for intrusions or obstacles. An illustrative area is part of a railyard or railroad track, which can be monitored for intrusions by foot, vehicle, or even by inanimate objects such as falling rocks from a track cut. The sensing, computing, and/or alerting systems can be redundant to ensure operation at all times.
