According to media reports, information technology is making everything easier in the world. Google Maps will help reduce accidents at level crossings. A new feature of Google Maps will warn the driver of the moving vehicle in advance about the level crossings ahead. The US Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) turned to Google Maps to reduce accidents at railroad crossings. This new feature of Google Maps will warn the driver of the car moving on the road in advance about the level crossings ahead. This information was given in a report of The New York Times.

According to a report, every level crossing in the United States will be visible on Google Maps. If a vehicle is approaching one of the crossings, Google Maps will immediately alert the driver. Both audio and visual notifications will reach the driver almost instantly.

This feature is expected to make motorists more cautious at level crossings. About 94% accidents at US crossings are caused by driver inattention while driving. According to the US agency FRA, most accidents are caused by the tendency of the driver to cross the train or not knowing when the train is coming. With the new feature of Google Maps, these problems will be reduced significantly and the amount of accidents is expected to be reduced.

AFR also said that Apple and other map makers have also been talked about this feature. However, no response has been received from Apple yet. The FRA and the US Department of Transportation have been working for several days to reduce accidents at the revelcrossing.

Note that the number of level crossing accidents in the United States in 2012 was much less than 2 thousand. But in 2014, it increased to more than 2,300. If this technology is successful in the United States, other countries including Bangladesh will be able to use it.
