Friedrichshafen: traffic lights will be barrier -free and environmentally friendly!
Ravensburger Straße, 88045 Friedrichshafen, Deutschland - The city of Friedrichshafen plans a comprehensive modernization of the traffic light system at the Ravensburger Straße and Barbarossastraße intersection. As Wochenblatt News , the renovation will be carried out next week. In the course of the modernization, the old control unit is replaced by a modern model that enables the use of new signal providers.
A central aspect of the measure is the significant reduction in energy consumption of the traffic light system by 86 percent. Acoustic signal providers are also installed to improve accessibility for blind and visually impaired people. The measure is implemented in cooperation with the Lake Constance district and the city of Friedrichshafen. During the renovation work, the existing traffic light system is temporarily switched off and a provisional pedestrian light is set up to ensure a safe crossing of Ravensburger Straße.
innovative technologies for accessibility
In addition to these changes in the traffic light system, the mobile blind information and navigation system FABEMA® Blina was developed, as fabema . This system offers acoustic instructions for blind and visually limited people and contains information about the next stop as well as the distance to shopping centers and temporary road closures.
The use of the associated smartphone app LOC.ID enables seamless interaction by Bluetooth. When approaching, the volume of the opening signal increases, while configured free text is played in the close range. This technology is particularly important on construction sites in order to reduce the risk of accident for visually impaired or blind people. The system adapts to the ambient noise and also offers a manual operating option via a requirements key with a braille. Fabema® Blina is characterized by its flexibility and transportation, since it is battery operations and thus enables simple handling.
