How can LED Road Studs save the "low head clan"? "Smartphones have indeed changed a lot of people's living habits, but the traffic environment has not changed because of smart phones," said Soren Luckins, founder of Melbourne design studio B ü ro North. For the safety of the "bow heads", his solution is to set the traffic signal of the crosswalk on the ground, because it is easier for those "bow heads" to see. In his design scheme, in addition to the red and green signal lights set on the ground to remind pedestrians of safe passage, he also specially designed a vibration signal prompt device that can be perceived through body touch for visually impaired people. He called this scheme "intelligent perceptible sidewalk LED Road Studs".
The LED Road Studs crosswalk is designed to protect pedestrians crossing the road, but it does not provide unconditional protection for pedestrians. At least, pedestrians need to observe whether there is danger in their own walking direction. Today, thanks to mobile phones, pedestrian traffic safety is facing more risks. A large number of studies have shown that the number of traffic accidents caused by pedestrians using mobile phones to distract their attention has increased significantly. It is obvious that more and more "heads bowed" people are getting worse at crossing the road. They will only slow down, but their eyes are still on the mobile phone screen instead of focusing on the traffic on the road.
Of course, the concept of LED Road Studs for intelligent sidewalk is not proposed for the first time. Earlier this year, a company in Augsburg, Germany, installed a group of intelligent LED Road Studs on the ground of two rail crossings. When the tram comes, the signal lamp will send out a red flashing alarm signal to remind pedestrians to pay attention to safety. At the same time, Cologne, which is adjacent to Augsburg, also conducted a similar experiment.
You may think that it is not a good idea to embed LED Road Studs on the ground, because it can only become more accustomed to those "bow heads" and make them more dependent on mobile phones all the time. Soren Luckins heard a similar sound. "In fact, I don't think it's a good phenomenon that more and more" bow heads "are coming," he said. "But either you really have the ability to change these people's habit of" bow heads ", or you have to accept this reality." Soren Luckins holds that our cities have the obligation to provide safe travel environment for citizens. "If citizens' travel habits change, cities should adapt to them." He said.
