New Orleans has an extensive rail network that intersects with many busy roads and industrial corridors throughout the city. Freight trains frequently pass through these crossings, and when a train blocks the roadway, traffic can quickly build up.
Drivers often arrive at a railroad crossing without knowing whether a train is approaching or how long the delay will last. In some cases, trains slow down or stop near crossings due to rail traffic, switching operations, or congestion along the rail line.
When a train approaches a monitored crossing, the BlockedTrax system detects the train and sends notifications through the mobile app. Drivers receive alerts when the train arrives, when it stops, and when the crossing has fully cleared.
These real-time updates allow drivers to choose alternate routes and avoid unnecessary delays caused by trains blocking the road.
As additional monitoring locations are added, BlockedTrax will continue expanding train crossing alert coverage throughout the New Orleans area.
