Recently, the “intelligent glowing zebra crossings” produced by Duolun Technology officially appeared at the intersection of Tianyuan Road and Shuanglong Avenue, Jiangning District, Nanjing City, which attracts media such as Nanjing TV, Modern Express, Purple Mountain News, and Jiangning Police to make reports. The “intelligent glowing zebra crossings” not only adds a sense of science and technology to Jiangning’s city taste, but also adds a second safety insurance to the travel environment of citizens.

The “intelligent glowing zebra crossings” makes the intersection of Tianyuan Road and Shuanglong Avenue become the first all-intersectional glowing zebra crossings in Nanjing, and a model intersection with high technological characteristics.

Reports of Media

Light Jiangning with the Intelligent Intersections 

This time, the “intelligent glowing zebra crossings” produced by Duolun Technology is composed of intelligent glowing floor tiles, traffic lights and pedestrian indicators. The intelligent glowing floor tiles are embedded in a semi-enclosed manner around the zebra crossings. When pedestrians walk across at nights, they can switch between colors of red, green, and white through intelligent sensor devices according to changes in traffic lights at the intersection, which minimizes visual blind spots. Even if pedestrians look down at their mobile phones, they can still scan the traffic lights on the ground, which serves as a two-way warning to pedestrians and vehicles that can remind pedestrians and drivers to abide by traffic rules and improve the travel environment. The “intelligent glowing zebra crossings” can avoid hidden dangers and protect the safety of pedestrians in time, especially in bad weather such as night, and rainy as well as haze days.

Comparison Before and After Construction

You Yougang, person in charge of the Product Delivery Department of Duolun Technology, says that the “intelligent glowing zebra crossings” uses a polymer composite material that combines the advantages of light transmission, sun protection, anti-glare, and wear, pressure, heat as well as water resistances. Its flashing method and frequency can be controlled autonomously, which provides a strong warning effect to pedestrians and vehicle drivers, and greatly reduces the occurrence of traffic accidents."

“Intelligent Glowing Zebra Crossings” Under Construction

The person in charge of the traffic police squadron of Jiangning Development Zone says in an interview that the “intelligent glowing zebra crossings” introduced has been under trial operation for more than a week. The effect is good. Most pedestrians and non-motorized vehicle drivers are more cautious when crossing the road, and their behaviors of running red lights are indeed much less. This year, they will continue to give full paly to the strength of science and technology, and introduce more intelligent transportation equipment to ensure safe travels of citizens and improve the taste of the city.

Only a Left-turn Waiting Area at the Intersection Before

A Straight Waiting Area Is Added at the Intersection

Nanjing’s First All-intersectional Glowing Zebra Crossings

In addition, Duolun Technology also cooperates with Jiangning Development Zone Management Committee, Jiangning Traffic Police Brigade, and other departments in the comprehensive scientific channelization of the intersection, appropriately reducing the width of the eastern, southern, and western lanes, and adding a straight lane and a left-turn lane respectively to narrow the Intersection zone and increase the waiting rate. Additional safety facilities such as traffic guidance signs as well as captures of pedestrians running through red lights and solid-line changes will be added. They will create a traffic "high spot" project from the aspects of efficiency improvement, congestion control, and beauty construction.

According to statistics during the trial operation, after the upgrade of the intersection, the turning capacity of the western and northern intersections is increased by more than three times during the morning and evening rush hours, and the overall capacity is increased by nearly 27%. The congestion index is significantly reduced.
