Rail Crossing Information Systems with Predictive Analytics

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is seeking to enter into a single source contract for a Rail Crossing Information Systems with Predictive Analytics. The system must be able to provide real-time and historical train presence, direction, and speed data based on detection by traditional and innovative sensors. The intended use of the system is to assist first responders in planning for alternative routes in case of blockage by a train. The system will also make train presence data and predicted arrival time available to all road users through the FL511 app and other dissemination means. • The system must be able to detect train presence, direction, and speed using acoustic sensors. • The system must be able to provide real-time and historical train presence data. • The system must be able to make train presence data and predicted arrival time available to all road users. • The system must be scalable and efficiently deployable along interconnected arterials affected by at-grade rail operations.
