LIGHTING REINFORCEMENT FOR CROSSWALKS
Inadequate vertical illuminance levels at crosswalks, with regard to most existing regulations, together with high driver distraction levels hinder pedestrian identification, increasing the risk of accident. To overcome this challenge, the Prudenza system integrates an intermittent beacon aimed at drivers and an interactive light with high incidence over pedestrian vertical planes.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
By detecting pedestrian presence in a close spatial environment, the Prudenza series intensifies the vertical plane luminance level, facilitating anticipated driver recognition of pedestrians. An adapted photometry and optical system (MRLS® – Micro refractive light surface) guarantees a full visual comfort level for drivers, with no glare.
The flashing beacon system aimed at vehicles reinforces the message, increasing driver alertness and visual focus on the crosswalk. The Prudenza series is also known for its connectivity with other complementary traffic light reinforcement series.
STRUCTURE AND MATERIALS
The Prudenza system comprises a cylindrical column of AISI314 or AISI316 Stainless Steel (standard height and diameter: 4 or 6 m and 129 mm, respectively), irrespective of the adaptability requirements of each project. This element integrates a beaconing system with amber LED optics, a presence detector, and a Stainless Steel LED luminaire equipped with an optical LED module immersed in an argon gas atmosphere.
