Smart Railroad Crossing Monitoring
Real-time low-cost railroad crossing intelligence powered by lightweight, solar-powered AI cameras. Know when trains block your roads before your residents do.
The Problem
Across the U.S., freight trains stop on roads without warning. Commuters wait. Ambulances reroute. School buses stall. And no one knows when it will clear.
In the last 12 months alone, drivers filed 31,522 blocked-crossing reports with the Federal Railroad Administration — about 86 every day, at 7,801 crossings across all 50 states. And they aren’t random: 56% of every report came from just 457 crossings. The same intersections, over and over.

The Solution
InterFact puts smart, solar-powered cameras at your crossings and turns raw images into actionable data — for engineers, first responders, and everyday drivers.
Solar-powered units with machine learning detect trains in real time — day or night, rain or shine. No city power needed.
A clean, map-based dashboard shows every crossing's status in real time. Open to engineers, residents, and decision-makers.
Push notifications tell drivers when a crossing blocks or clears. No more guessing — just check your phone before you drive.
Historic patterns and crossing data give city planners and legislators the evidence they need to act.
No second-guessing with precise timestamps for all crossing events. Every event is documented with a timestamp.
No need to have barriers or lights to monitor crossing activity. Works at any crossings.
Integration
Integrate data into anywhere you'd like
First responders see live crossing data directly in ArcGIS — optimizing routes when seconds count.
