Active pedestrian crossing

Active Pedestrian Crossing – “Safe Pedestrian” System SIGN FLASH / WALKING MAN

Solar-powered active pedestrian crossing of the SIGN FLASH or WALKING MAN type is an intelligent system designed to enhance pedestrian safety, especially in high-risk areas. The system activates automatically only when a pedestrian approaches the crossing – ensuring that drivers always respond to the warning, without the effect of habituation to constantly flashing lights.

How does the active pedestrian crossing work?

The system uses a dual motion sensor to detect pedestrians and trigger the LED signals on signs on both sides of the road. A dedicated radio channel allows simultaneous activation of both sides of the crossing, ensuring high visibility and effective driver warning.

Key features and advantages

• Activation only when a pedestrian is present – prevents driver habituation
• Dual motion sensor with high immunity to false triggers (e.g., passing vehicles)
• Radio communication – simultaneous activation of signs on both sides of the road
• State-of-the-art LEDs – very low energy consumption, long lifespan
• Miniature switch-mode power supply – up to 3x lower energy usage
• Up to 40% longer solar operation time thanks to intelligent controller
• Only 2 cm thick – lightweight, aesthetically designed housing
• Protection against false activations
• Mounting options on posts Ø60 / Ø76 mm
• Optional connection of active LED “cat’s eyes” in the road surface
• Compliance with photometric standard PN-EN 12352

Benefits of implementation

• Significant improvement in pedestrian safety
• More effective than standard flashing signs (no driver habituation)
• Full crossing visibility day and night
• Ideal solution for schools, residential areas, city centers, municipal roads, and crossings without traffic lights

Power supply options

• Solar – fully autonomous operation
• Hybrid: photovoltaic panel + wind turbine
• Buffered via streetlight (backup battery)
• 230V AC – optional connection

The “Safe Pedestrian” Active Crossing system is an effective and cost-efficient method to enhance traffic safety, using the latest LED technology, recommended for areas with high pedestrian traffic and elevated accident risk.
