The Carborne Monitor was installed on a Rohr rail car to record 10 analog and 60 digital signals which would be useful in determining the cause of an incident such as a derailment or collision. The unit is designed to be fully automatic with self testing start-up features and to automatically 'freeze' data in the event of a derailment, a collision, the application of emergency brakes or the keying of the incident switch by the train operator. In addition to the carborne equipment, software for an off-line data retrieval and analysis system, using a personal computer, was developed and tested. The Performance Specification reflects all the improvements identified during the operational demonstration and can be used as a technical specification for procurement purposes.
