This app allows users to flag when trains are crossing intersections and when trains have passed through. It provides a quick way for drivers to know if a train will block their path without having to wait at the intersection. The app could integrate with Google Maps to detect traffic congestion caused by train crossings and notify users. It would need to connect to local servers and switch to being fully server-sided. Long term, the app may be able to partner with railroad companies to receive direct notifications of upcoming train crossings.

1. Is That a Train?
This app allows users to flag when trains
are crossing and when the trains have gone
through the intersection. Provides a quick
way to tell whether a train will be in your
path.

2. Primary Problem & Solution
PROBLEM:
Not knowing when a train is
crossing an intersection and
you’re going to have to wait.
Using while driving
SOLUTION:
∗ Come up with a mobile app that allows you to flag
when the train is crossing so others don’t have to sit
and wait.
∗ Some how use google maps to see when people
start to congest and just assume there is a train.
∗ Place a sensor on the tracks/guards/lights to send a
notification to the Willmar community every time a
train goes through.
∗ Voice activation

3. Business Model & Approach
• Google Maps integration
• Railroad Company
• City

4. Project Application & Details
• Developed in Gamemaker studio
• GML (Gamemaker language)
• Team Environment
• Exporting options
• Server
• Client

5. Notable :
1)Learning how to use GMS
2)Attempting to Network
3)Exporting
4)Switching everything to server sided
Additional Project Details

6. Competitive Advantage & Value
• Saves time
• Easy to use
• Convenient
• Quick and easy Interfaces
• Nothing out there like this

7. Future Needs & Potential
SHORT TERM NEEDS:
It connects to the local server, but
everything is still client sided and
needs to be switched to server
sided.
LONG TERM NEEDS:
Pairing up with the railroad
companies to get them to let us
know when a train will cross the
intersection.
