PEDESTRIAN CROSSING Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G08G1/05 E01F9/04 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: pedestrian crossing consists of traffic lights for motor transport and pedestrians mounted on posts on the road shoulders, zebra crossing made in form of longitudinal white stripes painted on the road surface, two white transverse stripes on each side of the road in front of the zebra lines indicating lines where motor transport should stop before the crossing. On the road surface and on the same level as the surface, there are metal boxes in which lights are mounted and armoured glass in reflectors with a corrugated inner surface to ensure bright illumination in all directions. The boxes also contain a wire for heating the glass controlled by a device with a light-emitting diode, placed inside the reflector of each light, a system for removing condensate from the lights and boxes in the ground. The box with green lights is placed between white stripes of the zebra crossing and has two modes of illumination - constant during green pedestrian crossing and red transport traffic lights and blinking when simultaneously showing red pedestrian and amber transport traffic lights. The box with red lights is placed on the white transverse lines where motor transport stops before crossing and illuminate a uniform red light during green pedestrian, red transport and when simultaneously showing red pedestrian and amber transport traffic lights, thus preventing movement and enabling the pedestrian to finish crossing.

EFFECT: invention increases safety on the roads.
