Intelligent Pedestrian System acts as a two-way warning for pedestrians and passing vehicles
It is reported that in order to improve the traffic order at the intersection of Tianhe North Road, Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau organized the Municipal Road Engineering Research Center to implement the project of upgrading the non-motor vehicle special passage at the intersection of Tianhe North Road. "Zebra Pedestrian Crossing" is an important part of the project. pilot content.
The reporter learned that this intersection is busy with traffic and people. According to statistics, about 3,000 motor vehicles, about 1,500 pedestrians and about 300 non-motor vehicles pass through the intersection in one hour during peak hours.
"Zebra Pedestrian Crossing" was officially launched on September 6. After two nights of official operation, combined with the trial operation data of the buried Zebra Pedestrian Crossing in early August, relevant research institutions tracked its implementation effect. The results show that this measure has a clear two-way warning effect on pedestrians and passing vehicles on Zebra Pedestrian Crossing at night, achieving the expected effect.
Among them, the Intelligent Pedestrian System project effectively reminds pedestrians crossing the street, especially the "bow-headed people", the passing time and passing area through the color change and flashing. Traffic behavior is significantly reduced compared to before the implementation. At the same time, Solar Studs can clearly remind motorists to yield to the zebra crossing, slow down, reduce conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians, and improve traffic safety at intersections.
