Hi all, I had one project idea for my workplace but it has too many implications that can't be over come.

When the trains come into the depot there are roughly 40 different birthing spots (16 roads-minimum 3 birthing spots per road). Especially on nights when the fuel point examinations are carried out we have a lack of communication where a technician is sat down waiting for the train to come on to the depot to work on.. I want to create a system where a screen can locate which section of which road a train is on whilst identifying the specific train by its set number and display it on to different screens around the depot so that people can be aware, this in turn reduces wasted man hours. The depot currently has wifi so I am unsure wether or not to use some sort of
-wifi module
-Bluetooth system
-rfd system

The biggest issue is that some roads are outdoors. Just for you to have an understanding I have attached a picture of the depot below. The larger shed to the right is where I work and the outdoor tracks are to the right.

What would you guys suggest?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Josh.
