EA031497B1 - Foot path for mobile gadget users - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention is related to city landscape facilities in large megalopolises, in particular, to specially allocated foot paths for mobile gadget users. The technical result of utilization of the invention proposed is higher safety of movements of pedestrians who use mobile gadgets, creation of safe and non-traumatic conditions for all participants of traffic. The colour of the path is in contrast with the main colour background of the pavement; in the direction of pedestrian movement, the path has alternating, arranged in a chessboard fashion, stylized pictures of a mobile phone with an antenna showing movement direction, and arrows showing movement direction; at least 2-2.5 m before an obstacle such as a crossroad, another foot path and/or a crosswalk, the path colour is warning/prohibiting movement, e.g., red, and the warning/prohibiting area of the foot path further has a sound strip actuated by weight of a pedestrian; pictures of mobile phones and arrows on the foot path are made of luminous LEDs in permitting colour hues, e.g., green, and antennas and arrows on the foot path are oriented in the direction of pedestrian movement; and crossings with foot paths on the side of adjacent streets, foot paths and/or crosswalks and the foot path itself are additionally equipped with special warning signs both stand-alone and applied to the foot path itself.

Description

031497 B1

The invention relates to objects of the urban landscape of large cities, namely, to specially designated pedestrian sidewalks for users of mobile gadgets.

Recumbent traffic lights for pedestrians dependent on gadgets are known to /https://tengrinews.kz/kazakhstan_news/lejachiy-svetofor-zavisimyih-gadjetov-ustanovili-shyimkente-292889/. Similar traffic lights are installed in the city of Ausburg (Germany) /http://24gadget.ru/tags/pegoshen/. The LED strip in these devices only partially duplicates the work of traffic lights and does not provide complete safety for gadget-dependent pedestrians.

In Chongqing (China), a footpath was created for phone lovers, for which a marking indicating the direction of movement was applied to the pavement (http://www.kulturologia.ru/blogs/180914/21485/).

Driving along a well-known pedestrian walkway does not guarantee complete safety to pedestrians, as well as to all road users.

The closest in technical essence to the proposed is a footpath created in Belgium for people with smartphones / http://www.unian.net/curiosities/1090050-v-belgii-poyavilispeshehodnyie-dorojki-dlya-lyudey-so-smartfonami-foto. html /.

This technical solution was adopted as a prototype for the proposed.

The path is highlighted on both sides with white stripes, and warning labels are inscribed at the beginning of the path.

The disadvantages of the famous walkway are the following. The very color of the track merges with the color of the main roadway. A pedestrian, fascinated by his smartphone, does not always read the inscriptions. All this leads to collisions with other pedestrians, injuries, an increased risk of collisions for all road users, damage and loss of smartphones from falling on the track and other negative consequences.

Technical results from the use of the present invention are to improve the safety of movement of pedestrians - users of mobile gadgets, creating a safe and atraumatic conditions for all road users.

These technical results were achieved due to the fact that in the pedestrian pavement for users of mobile gadgets in the form of a dedicated lane with additionally indicated visual identification signs and inscriptions, the color of the track is made in contrast to the main color background of the roadway, on the sidewalk along the movement of pedestrians are alternated in chessboard order in the direction of movement stylized images of a mobile phone with an antenna, a pointer to the direction of movement and arrows pointing The direction of travel, in front of an intersecting obstacle in the form of an intersection, another sidewalk and (or) crossing at a distance of at least 2-2.5 m, the color of the path is made in warning-prohibiting the movement of color tones, for example, red, while on warning the sidewalk forbidding field was additionally made a sound-strip triggered by the weight of the pedestrian, the mobile phone image and the arrows on the sidewalk are made of luminous LEDs in enabling color tones, for example green, with the direction of enn and arrows along the course of movement of pedestrians, and the intersection with pedestrian footpath from the adjacent streets, sidewalks and (or) the transitions himself pedestrian sidewalk additionally equipped with a special identification signs warning deposited both on a pavement, and made freestanding.

The invention is further illustrated by the figures, where:

in fig. 1 schematically shows a pedestrian pavement;

in fig. 2 - additional identification marks affixed to the pavement.

Pedestrian pavement for users of mobile gadgets is made in the form of a dedicated two-lane walkway with towards each other directional movement of pedestrians. Each of the lanes 1 of the track is made of a contrastingly different from the main color background of the roadway 2, for example white, if the color of the main roadway is gray, or yellow, if the color is black, etc. On the pavement paths in the direction of movement of pedestrians, stylized images of a mobile phone 3 alternating in a staggered direction of movement are plotted with an antenna-pointer 4 directions of movement and arrows-arrows 5 of direction of movement. The images of phones 3 with antennas 4 and pointer 5 are made of luminous LEDs in enabling color tones, for example green. In this case, antennas 4 and arrows 5 are directed along the direction of movement of pedestrians (indicate the direction of movement).

In front of an obstacle crossing a sidewalk in the form of an intersection, another sidewalk and (or) pedestrian crossing and others at a distance of at least 2-2.5 m, the color of lane 6 is made in warning-prohibiting movement colors, for example red. At the same time, sound strips 7 triggered by the weight of the pedestrian (minimum sensitivity of 20-25 kg) are additionally manufactured on this warning-prohibitory floor (section of the pavement).

On the pedestrian sidewalk from adjacent streets, sidewalks and (or) crossings, special warning identification signs 8 are additionally marked. These signs are marked both on the sidewalk itself and made (if necessary) free-standing. Similar signs are applied and with

- 1 031497 side of the streets, walkways and passages adjacent to this pedestrian pavement, warning other road users about the intersection with the pedestrian pavement for users of mobile gadgets and, therefore, concentration.

Use the sidewalk as follows.

A pedestrian (pedestrians) with mobile gadgets move in the directions indicated by arrows (towards each other along a two-lane pedestrian pavement). Not looking up from the screens of their gadgets with their peripheral vision, they see in their field of view their own contrasting track and the marks on it — the telephone, the arrows. In this case, a stylized image of the antenna on the phone and the arrows indicate the desired direction of movement. When approaching an obstacle in the form of, for example, an intersection, another pedestrian pavement, pedestrian crossing and others, the pavement color on field 6 changes from permissive (for example, white) to precautionary-prohibiting (for example, red). Additionally, when you press foot on lane 7, sounds are made, which also concentrates the attention of the pedestrian with the gadget and makes him distract from the screen of the gadget.

The warning markings clarify the type of obstacle, a list of which is given in FIG. 2

The implementation of the pedestrian sidewalk is inexpensive. Pedestrian injuries are eliminated and comfortable conditions are provided for all road users.

All elements and materials applied to the pavement are accessible, technologically developed, maintainable, and resistant to external climatic conditions.
