The Smart Pedestrian Crossing (SPC) Project is designed both to warn the pedestrians of the high speed at which an approaching vehicle might be traveling, and to alert the drivers to any pedestrians currently on the crosswalk. The special DANDAKA supports with a lighting console and US beamers used at the crossing allow to maximize the visibility of the pedestrian crossing for all road users.

How does it work?

• The radar detection device reads the speed of approaching vehicles.
• Once the speed limit is exceeded, the radar signals the panel installed at the crossing and facing the pedestrians.
• The information panel visually warns of the potential danger. The panel also has the capacity to sound a special alarm.

• The Smart System (SS) or a motion sensor registers presence of a pedestrian on the crosswalk
.
• The SS or the motion sensor sends a signal of pedestrian presence to the support installed 50-70 meters away from the crossing. The support’s info-panel lights up if any pedestrians are currently crossing. The panel can be working non-stop, or – when used in connection with the pedestrian crossing – it may blink on and off additionally, or change color from yellow to red.

Alternatively, a simplified version can be manufactured, excluding the use of the pedestrian detection system. The system only uses the radar readings the speed of approaching vehicles.

In the event the speed limit is exceeded, the driver-facing information panel lights up with “Beware pedestrians!” or “Pedestrian crossing ahead”.

Simultaneously, the radar feeds the speeding data to the receiver installed at the crossing, which consecutively activates the pedestrian info-panel with “Beware the vehicle!” or “Speeding vehicle!”
