Due to local weather conditions and the location of pedestrian crossings, it may be difficult for drivers of vehicles to notice pedestrians, although with the help of modern technology it is possible to improve the situation substantially. In addition to light signals and an audible movement warning, the smart pedestrian crossing also records pictures of what is taking place on each pedestrian crossing and measures air and road temperature, to assess the likelihood of a potentially hazardous situation. An added value is the ability to count vehicles.
