Railroad Crossing Monitoring Technology
Automated Crossing Monitoring
BlockedTrax uses camera-based monitoring, machine learning, and computer vision to continuously evaluate railroad crossing conditions. The system automatically detects when trains enter and clear monitored crossings and can identify changes in train movement without requiring continuous human monitoring.

More Than Blocked or Clear
In addition to determining whether a crossing is occupied, BlockedTrax
can detect when a train stops while blocking a crossing and when it
resumes movement. These events provide motorists, dispatchers
and transportation agencies with a clearer understanding of what is
happening at a crossing in real-time.

From Detection to Useful Information
Detected events are securely transmitted to the BlockedTrax platform,
where they power mobile notifications, crossing imagery, a dedicated
first-responder monitoring portal and the historical analytics available
through BlockedTrax reporting.

Designed for Flexible Deployment
BlockedTrax can operate using dedicated field monitoring equipment even at remote locations and is being developed to support integration with compatible existing camera infrastructure. Additional integrations, including roadside electronic warning signs, are also under development.
