Abstract: A system for monitoring and controlling activation of a warning system includes a sensor module locally coupled to the warning system for sensing and controlling a flashing light of the warning system, a transceiver responsive to a microcontroller, and a power line interface for interfacing between the transceiver and the power line servicing the warning system. The sensor module includes a sensor arranged for sensing the flashing light, the microcontroller coupled to the sensor, and a power supply for providing power to the sensor module.

Abstract: A system for monitoring alignment of a signal lamp includes at least one sensor and threshold detection circuitry. The sensor is positioned about the signal lamp and is configured to measure at least one of azimuthal and elevational movement of the signal lamp and generate an electrical signal. The threshold detection circuitry is configured to receive signals representative of the azimuthal and elevational movement of the signal lamp from the sensor. The threshold detection circuitry determine a change in alignment of the signal lamp according to at least one of the azimuthal movement signals and the elevational movement signals.

Abstract: A system for monitoring the condition of a lighting system comprises a lamp assembly where a lamp is disposed in a housing and a lens is disposed adjacent to the lamp, a conductor disposed on the lens and adapted to lose electrical continuity upon occurrence of a crack in the lens. Furthermore, a monitoring system is coupled to the conductor and is configured to detect the loss of electrical continuity in the conductor, which is indicative of the occurrence of a crack in the railroad signal lens.
