Atlanta — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Applied Information, Inc., a leading provider of intelligent transportation infrastructure technology, announced today a new configurable Internet of Things (IoT) Pedestrian Crossing Safety System (PCSS) that aims to improve safety at midblock crosswalks.
The base configuration of PCSS features a pedestrian crossing sign with push-button activated flasher, IoT connectivity, knockdown detector, Glance™ remote monitoring and connection to the TravelSafely™ smartphone app. Other features include a configurable message sign and radar-based driver feedback.
Multiple units can be connected wirelessly for boulevard and traffic circle deployment. All options can be solar powered.
When the PCSS is activated, alerts of approaching motorists are sent to the free TravelSafely smartphone app notifying drivers that pedestrians are in the crosswalk ahead.
The PCSS radar detects if a vehicle is approaching the crosswalk at an unsafe speed and provides an audible warning to pedestrians using the TravelSafely app. The system also uses over-the-air software updates for uploading multiple flashing lights patterns and configuring the digital message sign.
The PCSS is part of the Glance™ Smart City Supervisory System suite of products which can be monitored and managed from a tablet or smartphone, receive over the air software updates with customizable flashing patterns and report device performance measures.
