Pedestrian deaths are on the rise, especially at night. According to the
2020 Preliminary Data from the Governors Highway Safety Association, the number
of nighttime pedestrian fatalities grew by 54% between 2010 and 2019,
compared to a 16% increase in daytime pedestrian fatalities.
Illuminating crosswalks can save lives
According to many authors (Reaction times as an index of visual
conspicuity when driving at night - Plainis - 2002 - Ophthalmic and
Physiological Optics - Wiley Online Library Effects of Environmental Lighting Conditions on
Operating Speeds on Urban Arterials - Marco Bassani, Guglielmina Mutani, 2012
(sagepub.com)) the majority of road accidents in industrialized
nations occur at night; hence, improvements in night visibility may be a key
influence in lowering the frequency of accidents.
Research suggests illuminating crosswalks can save lives (An analysis of nighttime pedestrian accidents
at specially illuminated crosswalks - ScienceDirect). Increased
illumination intensity at pedestrian crossings has been linked to a substantial
reduction in nighttime pedestrian collisions (Ped Spotlight 2021 FINAL 3.23.21.pdf
(ghsa.org)).
SR-CROSSLED-S
As studies show, crosswalks can be dangerous for pedestrians, specially
at night, so SERNIS decided to reimagine crosswalks making them (and
pedestrians crossing them) far more noticeable to drivers.
New kind of Road Stud
SR-CROSSLED-S is a new kind of road stud. It must be installed in
all the tops of the white cross lines creating a homogeneous illumination of
the crosswalk.
The large lighted area has great visual impact, making almost
impossible for oncoming drivers to overlook them.
SR-CROSSLED-S has low profile (flat on the surface), ensuring
that it will not disturb circulation.
Ready for the roads
It has robust construction - completely stainless-steel
structure - with high strength, allowing it to be used in any type of traffic
application.
The anti-skidding treatment on surface will avoid slipping accidents
from motorcycles and bikes.
Protection Index: IP67, IK10 make it completely waterproof
and the magic gel inside protects every element inside.
Intensive LEDs with very low power consumptions
The wired system can be powered by electric or solar energy. It
has very low power consumption.
Standard version is with white LEDs but it can also have red and green
LEDs that are connected to traffic lights, adverting the driver to stop.
Similar to the normal road studs, SR-CROSSLED-S can be controlled with
PC500.
It has easy maintenance.
