Congratulations to the Center for Traffic Management Bavaria for their 'Traffic lights of the future' initiative. Vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, face significant safety challenges, particularly at intersections and road crossings. Issues like poorly designed or inadequately marked road crossings, suboptimal traffic light planning, and insufficient pedestrian priority measures elevate these risks.
To address these concerns, the Center for Traffic Management Bavaria has equipped traffic lights with advanced intelligent systems to improve traffic management and enhance safety for all road users. These systems include emergency vehicle prioritisation, collision warning systems, green time requests for pedestrians, green time prioritisation for cyclists, and an intelligent bicycle totem. These features are especially beneficial for large groups, schoolchildren, wheelchair users, and the elderly, ensuring safer and more efficient interactions between different types of road users.
