Estimating the term…
Pedestrian call systems with bidirectional communication between pedestrian call stations and traffic controllers are arranged so as to detect system errors, to provide the ability for pedestrians to provide input as to the need for the system to provide an opportunity for the pedestrian to cross the intersection, and to provide notification capability in the event of an emergency. Communications are provided via wireless communication devices, and systems can be configured and monitored using a web browser. In one example, traffic systems are provided with wireless interfaces that can be used for bidirectional communication.
An advanced accessible pedestrian call system, comprising:
A advanced accessible pedestrian call system, comprising a pedestrian management processor and a network interface coupled to the pedestrian management processor, wherein the network interface is operable to receive via wireless communication comprising a request for a traffic control service from at least one pedestrian call station of a plurality of pedestrian call stations and to transmit via wireless communication a traffic control request acknowledgement to the at least one pedestrian call station of the plurality of pedestrian call stations, wherein the at least one pedestrian call station of the plurality of pedestrian call stations includes a network interface operable to transmit via wireless communication a signal identifier to the pedestrian management processor.
