The department has determined multiple use cases which include providing train blockage alerts to first responders and other users to help them re-route and predict the time when the tracks will be blocked for planning purposes. During testing, the detection was 100% accurate in providing train presence information and alerts as per required specifications. In addition, the system was deemed compatible with many if not all of the existing and planned infrastructure, systems, and networks used by the department. TRAINFO is the only vendor that can detect the train using the acoustic features which includes the horn, the bells, and the track vibrations as the train approaches.
