Problem
One of the common problems in Muncie (and many cities around US which have to live with entangled
railway crossings throughout the city) is the frequent and unexpected stopping trains on the roads.
People are late to their work, meeting, church, doctor appointment, kids' school dropoff & pickup,
and many other things. According to a survey we have conducted on more than hundred people living in
Delaware County, all of them are blocked by a stopped train from 5 minutes to more than an hour.
This is also causing problems for first responders when they are trying to reach scenes of
accidents.

Solution
InterFact is promising to solve this problem by observing the status of each railway intersection in
Delaware County with solar-powered cameras, identifying trains by using machine learning, and
visualizing them in a nice way for our people. All you will need is to check the status of your most
frequent railway intersection on your way before driving.
Here is a look at our cameras: 
Users can see all railroad crossings on a map with their recent status.
Users can turn on notifications from any railroad crossing for its status. Once more data is
collected, we will also provide predictive analyses for any crossing.
Check the status of the project.
Status
With funding from the City of Muncie and Ball State University, we will eventually deploy the system to 12
railroad crossings in Muncie. The system will start with fewer railroad crossings and be ready for the Muncie community in 2025.
We provide the system as a service to any city. If your city is interested in the project,
contact Huseyin Ergin.
