HIGHER EDUCATION

We're here to help you protect pedestrians on your campus, from students and visitors to faculty and staff.

OVERVIEW

Thousands of students, faculty, staff and guests navigate campuses on foot daily. Providing them with eye-catching pedestrian crossing signage can both increase their safety and help your institution avoid costly, dangerous incidents.

Roughly 6,205 pedestrians were killed in traffic crashes in 2019, according to the NHTSA.

WHITE PAPER

Reducing pedestrian injuries and fatalities requires better insights. Discover how to protect vulnerable road users at mid-block crosswalks with lifesaving new data.

Optimizing Pedestrian Safety at Mid-Block Crosswalks

CASE STUDY

Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin

An S-curve on a busy road jeopardized safety for drivers and pedestrians, so the Village of Whitefish Bay used Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding to overhaul safety with a combination of low-tech and high-tech solutions.

"I receive data from our police department and DOT, and according to that our crashes are down 20 to 30 percent."

ACTIVATION OPTIONS

THERMAL DETECTION

The pedestrian thermal sensor uses infrared heat profiles to identify vulnerable road users moving within targeted detection zones to activate the system.

  • Thermal imaging cameras see in total darkness, through shadows and in sun glare, providing reliable detection 24/7
  • Versatile functionality dependent upon need, with many possible zones and configurations
  • Easily integrates with user-actuated system options
Thermal Detection is used to activate the system when pedestrians cross the street.

iNX PUSH BUTTON

The iNX push button with touchless iDetect actuation is the next generation of crosswalk accessibility, wireless connectivity and communication. The iNX provides an instructional sign, a push button with directional arrow, a voice message and a yellow LED.

  • ADA compliant with adjustable locate tone
  • Bluetooth configuration for adjustable parameters
  • Field replaceable weather-resistant speaker
  • Custom options available

BULLDOG PUSH BUTTON

Activated with less than two pounds of force, the Bulldog push button provides two-tone audible activation confirmation, as well as red LED visual confirmation.

  • ADA-compliant, vandal-resistant
  • Housing components comply with NEMA specifications
  • Yellow push button housing standard; black available upon request
Bulldog Push Button is activated to provide audible confirmation of system activation.

INFRARED BOLLARDS

Vulnerable road users passively trigger systems by passing between bollards placed on either side of the crosswalk. The bollards can be AC, solar or battery-operated.

  • Capability to determine pedestrian traffic direction
  • Range up to 40 feet
  • Battery power option requires no in-ground wiring with up to two years autonomy
Infrared bollards passively trigger when pedestrians pass between the bollards.

ENHANCEMENTS
