Traffic signal indicating method, apparatus and system, and machine-readable medium

A traffic signal indicating apparatus, comprising:

• at least one memory, configured to store a machine-readable instruction;
• and
• at least one processor, configured to call the machine-readable instruction to execute:
• acquiring a traffic control state of a traffic management area;
• and
• projecting first visual information for indicating the traffic control state acquired to a first-segment of pavement within the traffic management area, wherein upon the traffic control state being pedestrian prohibition, the at least one processor is further configured to execute, upon the machine-readable instruction being called by the at least one processor:
• acquiring a quantity of pedestrians within the traffic management area;
• determining an area of a second-segment of pavement, where a pedestrian may stay whilst waiting within the traffic management area in accordance with the quantity of pedestrians acquired, wherein as the quantity of pedestrians acquired within the traffic management area becomes larger, the determined area of the second-segment of pavement becomes larger;
• and
• projecting second visual information for indicating a range within which a pedestrian may stay whilst waiting for the second-segment of pavement to be determined.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising a machine-readable instruction which, upon being executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to—:

• acquire a traffic control state of a traffic management area;
• and
• project first visual information for indicating the traffic control state acquired to a first-segment of pavement within the traffic management area, wherein upon the traffic control state is pedestrian prohibition, the machine-readable instruction is further configured to cause the at least one processor to:
• acquire a quantity of pedestrians within the traffic management area;
• determine an area of a second-segment of pavement, where a pedestrian may stay whilst waiting within the traffic management area in accordance with the quantity of pedestrians acquired, wherein as the quantity of pedestrians acquired within the traffic management area becomes larger, the determined area of the second-segment of pavement becomes larger;
• and
• project second visual information for indicating a range within which a pedestrian may stay whilst waiting for the second-segment of pavement to be determined.

A traffic signal indicating method, comprising:

• acquiring a traffic control state of a traffic management area;
• and
• projecting first visual information for indicating the traffic control state to a first-segment of pavement within the traffic management area, wherein, upon the traffic control state being pedestrian prohibition,
• acquiring a quantity of pedestrians within the traffic management area;
• determining a second-segment of pavement, where a pedestrian may stay whilst waiting within the traffic management area in accordance with the quantity of pedestrians acquired, wherein as the quantity of pedestrians acquired within the traffic management area becomes larger, an area of the second-segment of pavement determined becomes larger;
• projecting second visual information for indicating a range within which a pedestrian may stay whilst waiting for the second-segment of pavement to be determined and either:
• detecting a pedestrian passage situation and a vehicle entry situation within the traffic management area, and projecting third visual information to a third-segment of pavement in a vehicle advancing direction upon detecting that a pedestrian is passing within the traffic management area and a vehicle will enter the traffic management area, the third visual information indicating passage of a pedestrian in front of a vehicle waiting for entry;
• or
• detecting a vehicle entry situation of the traffic management area, and projecting third visual information to the third-segment of pavement in the vehicle advancing direction upon detecting that a vehicle will enter the traffic management area and the traffic control state being pedestrian allowance, the third visual information indicating passage of a pedestrian in front of a vehicle waiting for entry;
• or
• projecting at least one piece of third visual information nearby a pedestrian allowed pavement upon the traffic control state being pedestrian allowance, the third visual information indicating passage of a pedestrian in front of a vehicle.
