Abstract

A system for registering pedestrian signal requests comprising receivers configured to broadcast wireless messages, wherein a first field of a first receiver location information message is occupied by a first receiver angle code defined for a first receiver corresponding to a first crosswalk of a traffic intersection and a second field of the first receiver advertisement packet is occupied by a first special code corresponding to the first receiver. An advanced wireless push button is configured to enable a first button to identify any wireless message to be the first receiver message if the first receiver angle code is found in the first field. On activation of the first button the advanced wireless push button transmits the first receiver angle code and, on receipt of the first receiver angle code, first receiver registers a request for a pedestrian signal for the first crosswalk if a walk signal is found off.

Abstract

A wireless push button device and a method for wireless registration of request for activation of a desired pedestrian crosswalk signal system on an existing traffic signal pole comprising of a remote control and a receiver assembly wherein said remote control sends wireless signal to receiver assembly in order to register request for activating a pedestrian crosswalk signal system from a distance and the receiver assembly compares the received signal with that of stored values and sends back random signal for invalid signal, sends back encrypted signal for valid signal and walk signal OFF state and special signal for valid angle and walk signal ON state to the remote control whereby said remote control confirms activation of the pedestrian crosswalk signal system to an user by activating said LED, vibrator/buzzer and also confirms the user when it is safe to use crosswalk by turning on said LED and said vibrator/buzzer.

Abstract

A 2-wire control system which communicates with a plurality of pole mounted push button stations of the kind that are found at a traffic light controlled intersection via existing pairs of underground wires over which power and data signals are transmitted so as to enable a visually impaired pedestrian to receive both audible and tactile signals regarding the flow of vehicular traffic through the intersection. The 2-wire control system includes a central control unit that is located at a traffic light control cabinet and is connected to a standard traffic signal light controller. The control unit includes a plurality of 2-wire output ports that are connected to respective pairs of the plurality of push button stations. The central control unit also includes a corresponding plurality of on/off controls and data interfaces by which each of the 2-wire output ports thereof is provided with the power and data signals to be transmitted to respective pairs of push button stations depending upon the entry of a pedestrian request and the illumination of a WALK or DON'T WALK message.
