Derailment detectors Explanation: There is a set term for "detector de caída de vehículos", which would a derailment detector. However, I am not aware of a term that also covers falling objects.

peer agreement (net): +1could it be a track-mounted sensor array.... Explanation: ... like the one described here? The basic components of the WILD system are the track mounted sensor array, on-site processing rack (CSU) and control PC.....Sensors are mounted in pairs, one on each rail, between the sleepers. Depending on requirements a WILD array may contain: · 10 -12 Accelerometers · 4 -12 Load Gauges · 2 - 4 Temperature Sensors · 4 Wheel Flange Detectors · Automatic Vehicle Identification Tag Reader · Hot-Box/Hot-Wheel Detector · Out-of-Gauge/Dragging-Equipment Detector · Lateral Tracking Sensors ....Out-of-gauge/dragging-equipment detectors look for shifted or badly arranged loads and other objects that project outside of the nominal cross-section of railway vehicles.... http://www.ntsb.gov/Events/symp_rec/proceedings/authors/lech... It's a long article, but among other things, it makes the point that broken or defective equipment can be detected and derailments prevented. I'll keep on looking....
