What's special about crosswalks made by IT powerhouses?!

December 2021.04.15, XNUMX / MOLIT

  Smart crosswalks are being changed to make it safer and more convenient for both pedestrians and drivers by introducing IT technology to general crosswalks!
 Smart pedestrian crossing is a traffic safety service to protect pedestrians' safety from vehicle accidents and unexpected situations that may occur using a smartphone while walking. A motion sensor detects the speed of a passing vehicle in a child protection zone with a speed limit of 30 km/h, and the speed is warned and marked to the drivers with colors and expressions.
In addition, a voice warning service is in operation to inform pedestrians of approaching vehicles near the crosswalk. With the introduction of traffic lights on the floor, even if you walk while looking at your smartphone, you can safely walk across the crosswalk. In addition, it is a traffic facility installed at an intersection without traffic lights. When a vehicle enters or exits, it notifies pedestrians that a vehicle is approaching with a visual message using LED signs and a warning voice, and sends a signal to drivers to be careful because there are people with warning lights on the floor. system that gives‘Smart Intersection Notification Service’ is also in operationam. At night, the risk of accidents was reduced by burying LED lights next to the crosswalk floor line so that they could be seen clearly even in the dark.
