We propose implementing a Smart River Traffic Management System that utilizes LED signs with variable messaging installed on bridges and floating platforms along the Pärnu River. This system will provide real-time information to watercraft operators, including speed limits, safety warnings, and event notifications.
- Enhanced Communication: The LED signs will offer dynamic, real-time updates and warnings, improving communication with watercraft users about speed limits, navigation rules, and event-specific instructions. This will help in mitigating unsafe practices and informing users about current conditions on the river.
- Improved Safety: By providing clear, visible instructions and alerts, the system will help prevent accidents and conflicts between different types of watercraft. It will also ensure that participants and spectators of water sports events are aware of and adhere to necessary regulations.
- Event Management: The ability to display variable information will facilitate the smooth organization of rowing competitions and other events, ensuring that participants are well-informed and can navigate safely.
- Sustainability: Reducing accidents and improving traffic flow contributes to a safer and more enjoyable river environment, which aligns with sustainable urban development goals.
