“…using technology involving smart city devices capable of utilizing artificial intelligence or analytics. This technology would be constantly learning and evolving, to provide 9-1-1 Emergency Call Centers and Public Safety First Responders with real-time information, which will provide the 9-1-1 Emergency Call Centers and Public Safety First Responders with the information they need to determine the quickest route to travel to arrive at the scene of the emergency, without having to worry about whether or not a train is blocking the intersection. The result being a quicker response time to emergencies by first responders.”

“…the incorporation of machine learning and photo recognition technologies not only enable the accurate tracking of train traffic, but also can identify hazards on rail lines, such as stalled cars and even potential suicide victims. We are really looking at solving safety issues that involve these entire communities and are preventing these tragedies before they happen…”

“There are approximately 128,000 public railroad crossings in the United States. For a variety of reasons, any one of these crossings may be blocked for indeterminate time periods. This poses safety hazards when emergency response vehicles need to cross the tracks. The Kroy Railway Group has developed a potential solution. The technology they have developed can inform emergency responders about blocked crossings in real time. Thus, 9-1-1 Emergency Call Centers and Public Safety First Responders can utilize this information to make the best decisions about best and safest routes to travel. The safety implications, nationwide, for first responders and the general public are immense.”
