Real-Time Train Crossing Alerts
Introduction
Blocked railroad crossings are a common source of unexpected delays for drivers in many communities. Freight trains frequently travel through rail corridors that intersect with busy roadways, and when a train stops or slows near a crossing, traffic can quickly begin to build.
In many cases drivers arrive at a crossing without knowing whether a train is approaching, how long the train will be, or how long the crossing may remain blocked.
Our patent pending technology is designed to help drivers stay informed about train activity by providing real-time railroad crossing alerts through the BlockedTrax mobile app.
When a train approaches a monitored crossing, the system detects the train and sends alerts notifying drivers when the train arrives, when it stops, and when the crossing has cleared.
These alerts help drivers avoid unexpected delays by choosing alternate routes before reaching a blocked railroad crossing.
