I don't think we can expect a child of that demographic to behave as an adult. Hence, would more lighting, longer wait times etc really help?
This is a tragedy, a horrible accident, and I don't know if much more could be done to prevent something like this in the future.

I was thinking more lighting may have allowed the train operator to see the child and stop in time. It’s a long straight run into that intersection.
I agree that changing the pedestrian interface wouldn’t have helped in this instance.
