Vulnerable Road User Alert Kit
New developments in driver assistance systems are already able to prevent a large number of collisions with vulnerable road users (VRUs). However, the widespread use of these systems will continue for several generations of vehicles, meaning that a significant reduction in accidents, for example at dangerous junctions, is not to be expected in the coming years. Newer systems for the infrastructure have always required dedicated communication interfaces, which means that no improvement in road safety can be expected in the near future.

We have developed a system that can be flexibly integrated into the infrastructure and warns drivers, pedestrians and cyclists of a collision. The system uses radar and infrared sensors to detect the movement of objects and determine potential collision paths. Road users are warned of an impending collision by a light signal. The self-sufficient system can be mounted on any pole as it calibrates itself automatically and does not require a power connection thanks to its integrated battery and solar module.
