AI Technical Summary
The existing manhole covers lack warning devices when open, and pedestrians are prone to falling into them when they are not paying attention or in dark environments at night.
A smart safety manhole cover has been designed, equipped with components such as telescopic drive, guardrail, safety airbag, distance sensor and audible and visual alarm. By raising and lowering the guardrail and warning device, it prevents pedestrians from approaching the open manhole cover and provides safety protection.
This effectively prevents pedestrians from bumping into open manhole covers when they are not paying attention or at night, reducing the probability of accidents and improving safety.
