Illuminated pedestrian crossings are an innovative solution to increase safety in the workplace. In this article, we will examine the general function of pedestrian crossings, their specific importance in the business environment, the features they must have and the advantages that illuminated pedestrian crossings offer, with particular reference to the solution we propose in our company.
Pedestrian crossing function
Pedestrian crossings are traditionally designed to ensure the safety of pedestrians at intersections with vehicular traffic. This horizontal marking on the floor serves to indicate safe areas to cross the road, reducing the risk of accidents. Their presence is essential in any context where pedestrians and vehicles coexist, such as city streets, parking lots and, of course, industrial environments.
The importance of pedestrian crossings in society
Purpose and necessity
Pedestrian crossings are essential in a business environment. In production and logistics areas, where there is constant movement of machinery and industrial vehicles, it is essential to establish safe routes for pedestrians. Pedestrian crossings in a business serve to:
- prevent accidents between pedestrians and vehicles,
- direct pedestrian traffic in an orderly manner,
- ensure safety in handling and storage areas.
Characteristics of pedestrian crossings in society
To be effective, pedestrian crossings in society must have specific characteristics:
- Visibility: They must be clearly visible from a distance, even in poor lighting conditions,
- Durability: They must withstand frequent heavy vehicle traffic and daily wear and tear,
- Adequate signage: They must be supplemented with vertical signs that alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians,
- Strategic placement: They must be placed at key points in the company, such as entrances, exits, loading/unloading areas near machinery.
Characteristics of pedestrian crossing lights
Illuminated pedestrian crossings represent a significant improvement over traditional crossings marked with paint or tape. Their features include:
- LED Lighting: They use LED lights to project the pedestrian crossing onto the floor, ensuring optimal visibility even in low-light environments,
- Intelligent Activation: Some systems can automatically deactivate when they detect the presence of a vehicle, further enhancing safety,
- Energy Efficiency: LED lights use less energy than traditional lighting solutions,
- Durability and Durability: Unlike paints, they do not fade over time and do not require frequent maintenance,
Our solution: Clear pedestrian crossings in society
We offer a cutting-edge solution for pedestrian crossings in the company with our LED lighting systems. These illuminated pedestrian crossings are designed to project clearly visible stripes on the pavement, ensuring maximum pedestrian safety.
Some distinguishing features include:
- Low-energy lamps: They use low-energy bulbs, reducing environmental impact and operating costs,
- Intelligent activation: they can be activated or deactivated based on ambient conditions, for example, as in the case below, where they turn off when a door is opened and therefore announce the passage of a vehicle,
- High visibility: The projectors guarantee clear visibility even in environments with variable lighting or with dirty and dusty floors.
In conclusion, illuminated pedestrian crossings represent an innovative and highly effective solution for improving safety in industrial environments. The LED technology used offers numerous advantages in terms of visibility, durability and energy efficiency, making them an excellent choice for any company looking to improve the safety of its workers.
