Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of traffic safety, in particular to an intelligent pedestrian crossing safety prompt system. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people's living standards, the number of motor vehicles has shown a steady growth over the past few years. This trend has made motor vehicle travel an indispensable part of daily life, leading to a significant increase in road traffic volume. However, this has also led to the increasing intensification of conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, especially on major urban roads and transportation hubs. Conflicts between pedestrians and motor vehicles have become a major problem in traffic management.

[0003] Pedestrian crosswalks, as the primary pathway for pedestrians crossing the road, play a vital role in ensuring pedestrian safety. However, in reality, many crosswalks lack effective traffic signal control, leading to frequent conflicts between pedestrians and motorists crossing the road. These unsignaled crosswalks are particularly dangerous at night or in poor visibility conditions. Due to the lack of light, drivers and pedestrians have limited visibility, making it difficult to detect each other in advance, increasing the risk of accidents.

[0004] Traditional traffic safety features, such as traffic signs, markings, and traffic lights, are mostly designed for vehicles. These features play a vital role in reminding drivers of traffic safety. However, these features often overlook the needs of pedestrians, especially at night or in poor visibility. Pedestrians lack sufficient guidance and warnings, making it difficult to determine when it is safe to cross the road. Consequently, pedestrians face increased risks when crossing unsignaled crosswalks at night or in poor visibility. Utility Model Content
