  • Patent number: 11350508
    Abstract: In each of delineator streetlights of a low-altitude, low-power installable smart streetlight system, a lighting unit is formed on a roadside, and a reflection panel is formed on an opposite-side of a direction of traffic. A low-power Bluetooth antenna relays control signals between nearby the delineator streetlights, and an alert panel is equipped on the reflection panel. A first sensor detects vehicles on roads and outputs a detection signal, and second sensors detect a wild animal and output a detection signal. A control unit controls the lighting unit to turn on when a car detection signal is inputted from the sensor unit, successively transmits the control signal to nearby the delineator streetlights, controls the alert panel to flash when a wild animal detection signal is inputted from the sensor unit, and transmits a control signal of flashing the alert panel to nearby the delineator streetlights.

  • Publication number: 20220145554
    Abstract: Proposed is a smart guardrail capable of absorbing a shock induced when a vehicle collides with the guardrail to protect an occupant against the shock and of in real time performing monitoring and remote control to prevent a subsequent traffic accident. The smart guardrail, including a support fixedly installed at an equal distance at a center or an edge of a road, and a guardrail plate fixedly coupled to one or both sides of the support, further includes: a shock absorption member absorbing and thus reducing a shock induced when a vehicle collides with the guardrail; and a terminal configured to detect an external shock, an appearance of a wild animal on the road, and transmit a warning signal to an adjacent terminal positioned in a direction opposite to a traveling direction of the vehicle and to terminals positioned in succession behind the adjacent terminal.
