Vulnerable Road User Alert Kit (1023)

New developments in driver assistance systems are already able to prevent a large number of collisions with vulnerable road users (VRUs). However, the widespread use of these systems will continue for several generations of vehicles, meaning that a significant reduction in accidents, for example at dangerous junctions, is not to be expected in the next few years. Newer systems for the infrastructure have so far always required dedicated communication interfaces, which means that no improvement in road safety can be expected in the near future.

road safety in the near future.



We have developed a system that can be flexibly integrated into the infrastructure and warns drivers as well as pedestrians or cyclists of a collision. The system uses radar and infrared sensors to detect the movement of objects and identify potential collision paths. Road users are warned of an impending collision by a light signal. The self-sufficient system can be mounted on any pole as it calibrates itself automatically and does not require a power connection thanks to its integrated battery and solar module.

Details

►Independent of road users' technical equipment ►Autonomy enables flexible installation ►Data protection-compliant sensor technology

The system can be used flexibly in different environments to warn moving objects of a collision. The system is not dependent on specific mounting options or a power supply and can be configured for the specific application.
