ANSWER
 

IMPROVEMENT 1: The system should have an audible (sound) warning as well. This would allow the drivers to hear as well as see warnings that the barrier is about to be closed.


IMPROVEMENT 2: The system should have two sensors that detect the presence of trains. This would mean that the system would work safely even if one of the sensors failed.
