METHOD FOR INTERACTIVELY ENSURING SAFETY AT PEDESTRIAN CROSSING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G08G1/96 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: pedestrian crossing is provided with a video camera and light emitters. The light emitters form light images on the road surface and/or pedestrian path. The video camera records the number of vehicles and pedestrians, their size, speed, acceleration, correct movement in the pedestrian crossing area and adjacent areas. The video camera transmits video signals to a hardware and software system for processing and analysing the situation and predicting events. The hardware and software system, based on a specified program, transmits an audio signal and/or instruction to the light emitters. In case of emergency, a computer outputs audio and/or personal light signals to road users in order to detect the source of danger and eliminate obstacles. The hardware and software system continuously determines the radio of pedestrians and vehicles, controls vehicle and pedestrian traffic based on characteristics of the time of the day, the number of road users, giving priority to the majority or emergency vehicles or children or senior citizens.

EFFECT: high efficiency of a pedestrian crossing.
