Crossing CSMA
Crossing Reliability Starts in the Field
Manage inspections, diagnostics, and maintenance of signal systems with workflows designed for signal technicians.
The challenge
Grade Crossing control systems are complex, safety-critical, and highly regulated.
- Troubleshooting is often manual and inconsistent
- Maintenance records are incomplete
- Component-level visibility is limited
- Downtime is costly and difficult to analyze
Designed for Grade Crossing Technicians
Crossing CSMA reflects how signal teams actually work:
- Scheduled inspections
- Troubleshooting and diagnostics
- Component replacement and repair
- Preventive maintenance cycles

FAQs
Crossing CSMA is a mobile application designed specifically for the inspection and maintenance of grade crossings. It digitizes crossing inspections, tests, and repairs while ensuring compliance with FRA and state regulations.
Crossing CSMA adheres to 49 CFR Part 234 rules and embeds required inspection workflows and testing procedures directly into the application. It ensures that all warning devices, gates, lights, and circuitry are inspected and tested according to regulatory standards, with full documentation captured.
Crossing CSMA covers gates, flashing lights, bells, control systems, circuitry, track circuits, power supplies, and roadway interfaces. Each component is inspected using structured workflows tailored to crossing systems.
Inspectors use the application to record all inspection results, including gate operation, light functionality, timing tests, and warning system performance. Data is captured in real time with timestamps and location details.
Yes. Crossing CSMA logs all failures, malfunctions, and incidents, linking them to specific crossings and components. This enables faster response, better root cause analysis, and improved reporting.
The system tracks inspection schedules and maintenance requirements, alerting teams when work is due or overdue. It also tracks the time from issue detection to resolution, ensuring compliance with required response times.
Yes. Crossing CSMA integrates with existing EAM platforms to synchronize work orders, asset data, and maintenance records—enhancing the accuracy and completeness of enterprise systems.
Yes. Crossing CSMA supports offline operation, allowing inspectors to complete inspections and log issues in areas without network access. Data syncs automatically once connectivity is restored.
The system captures comprehensive records including inspection data, photos, test results, timestamps, geolocation, and inspector credentials. This provides strong audit defense for regulatory reviews and incident investigations. Crossing CSMA is FRA Approved and in use on dozens of railroads today.
By analyzing historical inspection and failure data, Crossing CSMA—combined with AI—identifies recurring issues and high-risk crossings. This allows railroads to prioritize maintenance and improve overall crossing safety.
