Many mid-sized cities across the U.S. face a frustrating, familiar issue: freight trains stopping on roads without warning. These delays disrupt commutes, emergency response, and daily life — from school drop-offs to medical appointments.
In cities like Muncie, Indiana, over 100 surveyed residents reported waiting between 5 minutes to over an hour behind a stopped train. Your city may face similar delays — but it doesn’t have to.
See how InterFact can help.
InterFact uses solar-powered smart cameras and machine learning to monitor your city's railroad crossings in real time. The data is displayed in a clean, map-based interface that anyone can use — from city engineers to everyday commuters.
Here’s a look at one of our installations in Vincennes, IN:
Emergency responders can integrate data into ArcGIS:
Residents can view real-time statuses on a city map:
They can even sign up for instant push notifications when a train blocks or clears a crossing.
With more data, InterFact will offer predictive analytics and historic crossing patterns — invaluable for city planning and legislation.
Live maps. Smart alerts. Happier drivers. Faster emergency response. All powered by the sun and AI.
