A Railway Collision Avoidance System (RCAS) to be carried on all Railroad Train cars mounted on the wheel bearing cover. It contains a microcontroller, temperature sensor, indicators, and generator. The RCAS generates its own power to power the microcontroller, the warning indicators as well as the temperature monitor. This is to give a self powered visual warning system to avoid collusions with automobiles as well as for monitoring for potential wheel bearing issues.
