Description

1 TARIFF CUSTOM REQUEST-ACTIVATED ACCESSIBLE PEDESTRIAN BUTTON DEVICE TECHNICAL FIELD This invention, the Demand-Responsive Accessible Pedestrian Button Device, is designed for pedestrians at intersections. It was developed to manage traffic more effectively. Existing pedestrian Unlike pedestrian crossing buttons, the device provides the pedestrian crossing assistance needed by disadvantaged individuals. By transmitting the requests regarding their transit times specifically to the intersection control device, these individuals It ensures that they can cross the street safely. In this way, 10 A solution sensitive to the transit needs of disadvantaged individuals is offered. STATE OF THE ART Standard pedestrian buttons transmit requests from only a single point, reaching all pedestrians. 15 This allows for the application of a green light duration that is the same for both. the situation requires flexibility to meet the needs of disadvantaged individuals. and fails to ensure that they can use the pedestrian crossing safely and comfortably. This makes things more difficult. The system does not address the needs of disadvantaged individuals in any way. It does not offer a solution. 20 DEFINITION OF INVENTION This invention eliminates the disadvantages inherent in the prior art. It removes and provides solutions to current needs. 25 The abbreviations used later in the document are explained as follows: UID: Unique Identifier. RFID: Radio Frequency Identification. This invention integrates RFID technology into pedestrian buttons, making it easier to reach disadvantaged individuals. This includes an innovative device that provides special access capabilities. Research suggests that... the speed at which disadvantaged individuals cross the street compared to other individuals 2 The device shows that it is approximately 20% slower. It is suitable for disadvantaged individuals. by recognizing their special circumstances, it is possible to offer them additional transition periods. It provides and makes pedestrian crossings more accessible. Standard pedestrian Unlike buttons, it can also receive access requests via an RFID card reader. This allows disadvantaged individuals to easily access special transit rights by scanning their cards. It can use it. In addition to the existing pedestrian buttons, the device has two more modules. The first module, RFID cards detect access requests by reading RFID cards. It is a reader. This module obtains the UID number of the scanned card and then this 10 It transmits the number to the RFID-SD expansion card. The module includes the RFID integrated circuit and antenna. The sequence includes various other electronic components. The second module is the board. the UID number obtained from the reader, the UID data of disadvantaged individuals By comparing the data it received from the SD card, it sends the custom access request signal to the motherboard. This is an RFID-SD expansion card that transmits data. This module connects the microcontroller, SD card, and 15 other devices. It incorporates various electronic components. The device processes crossing requests from disadvantaged individuals, including their pedestrian crossing cards. The button is received by scanning the card against the RFID Card Reader module in the device. The UID number on the cards is a unique 20-digit number assigned to individuals based on their specific circumstances. It is a unique identifier number. This number is assigned to the RFID-SD expansion card. The data is transmitted and compared with the UID numbers stored on the SD card. The scanned card's UID number corresponds to a list of disadvantaged individuals on the SD card. If it matches the number, the RFID-SD expansion card passes a dedicated path to the motherboard. A request signal is sent. The motherboard receives this signal from the RFID-SD expansion card. By detecting that it has arrived, it allows for the definition of a situation-specific transition period. provides. The device's motherboard is based on the Smart Accessible Pedestrian model, which was previously developed as a utility model. The button is the same as the motherboard used in the device. Thanks to the GSM module, internet access is available. This motherboard, which has access to this, allows disadvantaged individuals' UID data to be transferred via FTP. This feature allows it to be downloaded from the server and updated regularly. remotely and easily updating the data on the device's SD card. 3 It also allows the device's software to be easily updated via the same infrastructure. This ensures that the system's functionality and efficiency are maintained in the long term. REFERENCE LIST 1. Main case 2. RFID card reader 3. RFID – SD expansion card 4. Motherboard 5.
