Level Crossing Monitoring AI for the Toughest Freight, Commuter, and Light Rail Grade Crossings

Deploy Anywhere, Run Everywhere
Run level crossing monitoring on crossing cameras on the edge, on-prem, in your VPC, or via API.
One Platform, Full Adoption
Tools every railroad and transit team can adopt, from signal engineers to public agency partners, no separate ML team required.
Secure, Compliant, and Audit-Ready
Data stays safe with SOC 2 Type II compliance, encrypted data, HIPAA compliance, and an uptime SLA.

“Achieving positive results using AI in a lab environment is easy, but the real challenge comes when scaling the solution across a network like ours without disrupting day-to-day operations. Our partnership with Roboflow is allowing us to do just that.”

Make Every Grade Crossing Safer, from the First Warning Light to the Last Car

Bring real-time intelligence to every grade crossing with Roboflow Vision AI for level crossing monitoring. Built for railroads and transit agencies where most crossing collisions involve a vehicle stuck or stopped on the tracks, where drivers go around lowered gates, and where crossing safety reviews rely on a few incident reports.

Vehicles and people on the crossing:

Detect vehicles stopped or stuck on the tracks, including traffic queues that back up across the crossing.
Flag vehicles driving around lowered gates and pedestrians and cyclists crossing during the warning.
Use a model trained on your own crossings, lighting, and traffic.

Warning system health:

Confirm gates lower fully and on time, and detect broken or missing gate arms.
Check that flashing lights activate with the warning, and flag lights that stay dark.
Report crossing faults with a clip to signal maintainers.

Alerts and safety reviews:

Alert dispatch within seconds of a vehicle stopped on the tracks, so the approaching train can be warned.
Log violations and near misses by crossing, time, and type for safety reviews.
Give public agency partners data to support enforcement, signal timing changes, and crossing upgrades.

Bring intelligence to every grade crossing today. Stop stuck vehicles and gate violations from becoming collisions and delays.

Frequently asked questions

What is level crossing monitoring with Vision AI?

Level crossing monitoring with Vision AI uses crossing cameras and a trained computer vision model (opens in a new tab) to detect vehicles stopped on the tracks, gate drive-arounds, pedestrians crossing during the warning, and gate and light faults, then alert dispatch and log each event with a clip. It pairs with railway track inspection and safety zone monitoring for rail safety.

Can Vision AI alert fast enough to warn an approaching train?

Yes. The model runs at the crossing on an edge device and detects a vehicle stopped in the track zone within a second or two of it stopping. The alert goes straight to dispatch or into the railroad's warning system, and with advance warning time from the crossing circuits, that gives crews and dispatch time to act.

Does level crossing monitoring support FRA Part 234 and MUTCD?

Level crossing monitoring supports the maintenance, inspection, and testing expectations of FRA 49 CFR Part 234 (US grade crossing signal system safety) with records of gate and light operation, and it supports crossing safety reviews under the MUTCD (the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Part 8 for highway-rail grade crossings) with data on violations and queues.

Roboflow serves as the detection engine, and your signal, safety, and operations teams own alert handling, maintenance response, and crossing improvements.

Can it integrate with our dispatch, crossing warning, and signal systems?

Yes. Roboflow sends alerts and clips over REST (opens in a new tab) or MQTT, or writes events to a PLC or crossing controller where your design allows, so they reach dispatch and CAD systems, crossing monitoring systems, and signal maintenance tools. Violation data can be shared with road agencies for enforcement and traffic signal preemption reviews.
