We propose a Smart Sidewalk Safety System that integrates advanced technologies and innovative strategies to keep sidewalks safe and clear for pedestrians. The system includes:
- Smart Sidewalk Barriers: Deploying flexible, retractable barriers that can be activated to prevent unauthorized use of sidewalks by vehicles.
- Real-Time Monitoring: Installing sensors and cameras to monitor sidewalk usage and automatically detect and report violations.
- Dynamic Signage: Implementing LED signs with real-time updates and warnings for both pedestrians and micro-mobility users, indicating where to ride and where not to.
- Enforcement Integration: Collaborating with local authorities to enhance enforcement capabilities using data collected from the monitoring system.
Preventing Unauthorized Use: The retractable barriers will physically prevent vehicles from using sidewalks while allowing for easy retraction when needed for maintenance or emergencies.
Enhanced Monitoring: Real-time data will provide insights into sidewalk usage patterns and violations, enabling more effective enforcement and adjustments to the system as needed.
Improving Communication: Dynamic signage will provide clear, up-to-date instructions and warnings to users, reducing confusion and encouraging compliance.
Streamlined Enforcement: The integration with enforcement tools will make it easier to address violations promptly and ensure adherence to regulations.
