Computer Vision and AI-based Railroad Crossing Detection

In the last 40 years, more than 22,000 people were killed at U.S. railroad crossings*. But data shows that railroad crossings have become safer over time, thanks to the installation of gates and lights at more crossings, timed traffic signals and increased public education efforts. Helping further with these efforts are several noted companies and startups  which are using technology such as the adoption of computer vision applications based on Machine learning techniques and artificial neural networks to tackle this problem.
