Abstract

FRA's Rail Crossing Locator for iOS
Track: Mobile and Device Apps
Authors: Judah Lynam

The FRA's Rail Crossing Locator app allows users to explore the USDOT's highway-rail grade crossing database via a map interface from their iPhone or iPad. The app empowers the general public (including the transportation, emergency response, and safety community) to join the FRA's efforts to further improve grade crossing safety by promoting awareness of grade crossings. The presentation will provide an overview of the app's development with the ESRI iOS SDK, functionality, and future plans.
