Abstract: Conflicts and collisions between right-turning vehicles and pedestrians are a common problem in the field of traffic engineering. The present invention provides a visual indication that a pedestrian intends to cross as well as a wireless Infrastructure-to-Vehicle (I2V) message transmitted to nearby connected vehicles warning of the pedestrian's intent. Some embodiments may include a second visual indication and I2V message at the beginning of the Walk interval to warn drivers that a pedestrian is entering the crossing. The visual indication can include a lighted dynamic sign and/or light fixture configured to draw the attention of a driver of a vehicle.

Abstract: Pedestrian call systems with bidirectional communication between pedestrian call stations and traffic controllers are arranged so as to detect system errors, to provide the ability for pedestrians to provide input as to the need for the system to provide an opportunity for the pedestrian to cross the intersection, and to provide notification capability in the event of an emergency. Communications are provided via wireless communication devices, and systems can be configured and monitored using a web browser. In one example, traffic systems are provided with wireless interfaces that can be used for bidirectional communication.
