SCENARIO In today’s traffic-congested areas, rail crossings are a major safety concern. Simple train-crossing gates don’t provide sufficient protection. In the United States alone, a vehicle and train collide every 90 minutes. Because an eight-car passenger train traveling at 130 km per hour takes 2 km to stop, safety systems must be in place to provide train drivers with advanced warning of problems at nearby crossings. In an effort to improve safety and reduce crashes, Israel Railways embarked on a major project to identify threats and provide alerts in real time. Continuous recording and storing videos of train-road crossings would enable the railwa
