Train forerunner

Abstract

Many dead results from train accidents every year. A simple invention like train forerunner can save many lives. What is a train forerunner? Basically, it is an extra train engine running independently ahead of the train at the same speed of the train with its own train engine. The train forerunner is not coupled to the train or train engine but running independently ahead of the train engine or train. The train forerunner is controlled by remote control to run at the same speed of the train while the train engine is controlled by a engineer. The remote controlled train forerunner can be programmed to run ahead at a distance that a train is able to stop.

1 . What I claim my invention is to reduce train accidents such as derailment, an object on the rail blocking the train, collision between two trains, problems with the rails, and train destruction resulted from a missing bridge. 
   
   
       2 . The forerunner can check the safety of the rail before the train run on it preventing derailment as in  claim 1 . 
   
   
       3 . In case of a missing bridge as in  claim 1 , the forerunner will be destroyed and lack of signal from the forerunner resulting in the train to stop ahead of time. 
   
   
       4 . In case of collision between two trains as in  claim 1 , the destruction of the forerunners resulting in the trains to stop ahead of time. 
   
   
       5 . In case of an object on the rail as in  claim 1 , because the forerunner is much less massive than the train, the impact by the forerunner on the object will be less severe. 
   
   
       6 . In case of an object on the rail as in  claim 1 , because the forerunner can stop much faster than the train, the impact by the forerunner on the object will be less severe.
