Various studies have indicated that continuously
flashing signs do not necessarily attract driver’s attention because they are
always on and drivers get used to them. In addition, they flash 24/7, day and
night, even when there are no vehicles or pedestrians on the streets, which
could also introduce the visual noises to the residents living nearby.
Migma Systems has developed an alternative product, Distributed Sensing Flashing
Sign (DSFS). The sensor receiver is embedded inside the housing of flashing
sign, drawing power from solar panel or solar battery. Using solar-powered
detector, it flashes only when vehicles or pedestrians are detected within
certain distance (up to 1500 ft) to the flasher. Otherwise, it is off! As an
economic solution, it can also be installed at midblock crossing to
automatically trigger the flashing sign when pedestrians are waiting to cross,
without any pushbuttons.
Some vehicle drivers can be
easily distracted by devices such as smart phones while driving. These
distractions, caused by their devices, are well documented, rising cause of
pedestrian and/or vehicle accidents and sometimes fatalities. Migma Distributed
Sensing Flashing Sign can make a difference! (USPTO
