Emergency Tractor Beacon

The purpose of this website is to keep a working record of the motivation, design, specification, and changes of the Emergency Tractor Beacon project. This project is a joint effort by the College of Design and the College of Engineering. Our team proposes solutions to immediately and automatically notify authorities in the event of a tip or roll of a tractor without Roll-Over Protection (ROP). Learn more...


It is important to document all progress for informational as well as training purposes. Check out our training videos and engineering documentation.

Much research has gone into this problem, and its proposed solution. Take a look at some interesting facts and statistics about Rollover Protection Structures and preventative measures.
