I imagine it's because trains take SO long to stop that the tech would need to activate long, long, long before the barriers go down in order to have any meaningful effect.

and then all trains slow down to a crawl within a five kilometer vicinity of every crossing because some guy stopped his car at the crossing for a bit three minutes ago and has since left. the chain effect being that all trains near any populated area move at an average of 25kph
