Description

Signaling device for steps of pedestrians

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a device that has been specially designed to be implanted in crosswalks, in order to avoid accidents such as abuses, due to an inefficient signaling.

The invention thus falls within the scope of pedestrian safety

Background of the invention

As is known, every year there is a high number of accidents caused by accidents in the crosswalks, commonly known as "zebra crossings", for lack of respect for drivers, lack of attention from them, clueless pedestrians, etc.

This problem increases in situations Low visibility, such as at night or with conditions adverse weather.

Description of the invention

The signaling device that the proposed invention resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem discussed above.

For this, the device that is recommended is constituted from a post that is established next to the passage of zebra in which it will be applied, post equipped with a button that activates a series of light and acoustic sensors set in the same, with a luminous panel that allows to warn of extremely effective way for drivers to have a pedestrian has to cross the road.

The aforementioned post can be fed electrically through the power supply network of the surroundings, or, in special cases where this is not possible, you can be assisted by a photovoltaic panel and the complementary electronic voltage adaptation, being able not However, use a mixed system, with the consequent savings in Consumption and flexibility for the device.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that said panel incorporates a camera video, in order to allow the recording of possible crimes, such as an outrage caused by not respecting the priority of the pedestrians at the crossing of said step, and that will be assisted by a wired or wireless data transmission circuit for sending said recorded images to the control center of traffic.

Finally, it is expected that in the aforementioned post a brightness sensor is established, in order to detect through the same low visibility conditions, so that by means of said sensor it will be powered electrically, and prior push button drive set on the pole, a circuit to base of LEDs established on the roadway, delimiting the contour of the rectangular and white stripes that define the step of pedestrians

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to an example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a single sheet of plans in which with illustrative and non-limiting nature and in its only figure, it has schematically and in perspective, a device signaling for crosswalks carried out in accordance with the object of the present invention.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the review figure you can be observed as in the device that is recommended is constituted from a post (1), equipped with a button (2), post (1) that it is topped off in a housing (3) on which establishes a luminous panel, (4) that is activated when the said button (2), so that through said luminous panel (4) a bright image can be emitted that allows drivers realize that a pedestrian is preparing to cross the step, by issuing a representative image of one's own pedestrian crossing, however, can issue messages from warning, or even dividing the operating surface in two sectors for both functions.

The aforementioned figures or texts may be issued from static form, during the preset time for the crossing of the step, but preferably will be issued intermittently, to enhance the signaling capacity of the device.

The housing (3) is complemented by one or more acoustic signaling speakers (5), which may include additionally luminous witnesses (6) established on its perifier.

According to another of the characteristics of the invention, in said housing (3) a camcorder will be established (7) that allows to document any outrage that occurs in the corresponding crosswalk, camera whose video signal will be sent via a wired or wireless modem to the corresponding traffic center.

Optionally, the housing (3) may incorporate a brightness sensor (8), associated with a circuit based on LED diodes (9) established on the perimeter of the bands (10) that define the crosswalk, so that before a reduction of visibility, and previous activation of the button (2), the diodes led (9) that delimit the horizontal signal of the zebra crossing is they will illuminate, warning drivers that a pedestrian is available to cross.

Finally, the fact that the device of the invention may be electrically fed to through the nearest distribution network, or through a solar panel and its corresponding electronic adaptation of tensions, elements not represented in the figures, or through a mixed system for energy saving.

Claims (4)

1. Signaling device for pedestrian crossings, characterized in that it is constituted from a post, intended to be implanted next to a pedestrian crossing, post equipped with a push button for actuating a light signaling panel established inside a housing in which the aforementioned post is topped off, it being provided that said housing additionally incorporates at least one loudspeaker for the emission of acoustic signals, as well as a camcorder for recording possible abuses by drivers. 2. Signaling device for pedestrian crossings, according to claim 1, characterized in that it incorporates a brightness sensor according to which and in combination with the activation of the button set on the pole, it is electrically fed to a circuit based on LED diodes that They are arranged by defining the perimeter of the strips that define the horizontal signal of the crosswalk. 3. Signaling device for pedestrian crossings, according to claim 1, characterized in that the electronics that participate in the device are fed through the nearest power supply network and / or through a photovoltaic panel and the corresponding electronic adaptation of tensions associated with the post. 4. Signaling device for pedestrian crossings, according to claim 1, characterized in that a series of warning lights are arranged perimeter to the housing in which the light panel is established.
