Smartpole Crossing

Active crossings for pedestrians

Helps pedestrians — especially children, the elderly and people with disabilities — cross the roadway safely.

Smartpole Crossing

Why active crossings?

Insufficient pedestrian visibility is one of the main causes of fatal accidents at crosswalks. More than half of pedestrian accidents in Poland happen at crossings where pedestrians should be especially protected.

Active crossings force drivers to pay attention to a pedestrian about to cross. Early warning gives the driver time to react. Dedicated luminaires with asymmetric light distribution improve night-time visibility.

Application

Active pedestrian crossing

Smartpole Crossing detects a pedestrian approaching the crossing, activates amber warning lights in the pole and a voice message, then returns to standby when the zone is clear.

Signalling visibility reaches about 200 m. Composite poles are passively safe in a collision. The system supports children, older people, blind and visually impaired pedestrians, and smartphone users.

Almost every fourth pedestrian fatality in Europe happens on our roads. Poland ranks among the least pedestrian-friendly countries.
