SELF-CONTAINED PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SYSTEM WITH GSM/GPRS UNIT BASED TELEMETRY Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G08G1/05 E01F9/16 E01F9/47 F21S8/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: system is equipped with a solar panel, a battery charge controller, a proximity sensor, a GSM/GPRS unit, a control unit, a T7 traffic light, a "Pedestrian crossing" LED sign, LED lamps for lateral illumination of the pedestrian crossing, LED lamps for illuminating the waiting area, a solar panel, a control unit and two rumble strips on the road surface. Two additional LED lamps for lateral illumination of the pedestrian crossing are LED projectors, each offset from the centre axis of the pedestrian crossing towards the approaching vehicle. The control unit controls the state of the sensors, traffic light, LED projectors and the "Pedestrian crossing" LED sign and also transmits an instruction to actuate the control unit located at the opposite side of the road. The program-controlled GSM/GPRS unit enables to perform set up the controllers, automatic recording of readings of operation of basic units or systems and remote control of the entire system.

EFFECT: automating control of the pedestrian crossing, high information value for the driver and improved safety of the pedestrian crossing.
