The Euroasfalt x 2sympleks 'SmartPass' pedestrian crossing has been created as an effective solution for urban areas that will enable increased safety for drivers and walkers alike.
Developed by Euroasfalt and designed by 2sympleks, the system works by keeping an eye out for approaching vehicles and automatically activating signals when a pedestrian is detected. Audio warnings are also used by the system to let pedestrians know if it isn't safe to cross and that they need to wait until it has slowed down or passed.
The Euroasfalt x 2sympleks 'SmartPass' pedestrian crossing is reported to help increase safety at crossings by 25% and is ready for worldwide deployment after extensive testing in Poland. The system is part of a shift towards connected infrastructure solutions as cities grow and require a better way to keep citizens safer.
