Providing a virtual railroad crossing warning

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• identify, by a user device of a road user, a railroad crossing in a path of the road user;
• responsive to determining, by the user device, that a train is approaching the road user at the railroad crossing, determine, by the user device, whether a warning mechanism of the railroad crossing satisfies a crossing threshold that is based, at least in part, on a safety condition of the warning mechanism;
• and
• control, by the user device, a display of the road user to output a virtual railroad crossing bar on the display according to the safety condition responsive to determining that the warning mechanism satisfies the crossing threshold.

A method, comprising:

• identifying, by a user device of a road user, a railroad crossing in a path of the road user;
• in response to determining, by the user device, that a train is approaching the road user at the railroad crossing, determining, by the user device, whether a warning mechanism of the railroad crossing satisfies a crossing threshold that is based, at least in part, on a safety condition of the warning mechanism;
• and
• controlling, by the user device, a display of the road user to output a virtual railroad crossing bar on the display according to the safety condition responsive to determining that the warning mechanism satisfies the crossing threshold.
