Camera Installation
We have capabilities to install both ground and solar powered cameras adjacent to railroad crossing sites to enable 24/7 monitoring of rail crossings, powering the mobile app. Each installation variant has a wireless internet connection powered by a sim card and housed modem
Ground powered cameras are connected to a power source such as a light pole. Our solar cameras are "off-the-grid" and do not require an outside connection

Data Collection
|
In addition to providing realtime blocked crossing alerts for citizens, we also store historical crossing records to support larger infrastructure projects We record what crossing was blocked and for how long. To verify the data, we also provide timestamped images showing a crossing blocked Having crossing data can help local cities pursue funding for larger projects such as railway overpasses |
