Touchless Technology
Global awareness raised by the COVID-19 pandemic has spurred PedSafety into action. PedSafety was the first to employ touchless actuation in APS (accessible pedestrian signals) and PPBs (pedestrian push buttons) by utilizing active infrared sensors to detect motion in our products. We’ve designed and implemented touch-free solutions at intersections to curtail the transmission of germs and viruses, ultimately enhancing pedestrian safety.
Our innovative approach incorporates an infrared sensor for contactless activation. This surpasses the technology of conventional sensors, as infrared light precisely reflects off the hand, ensuring calls are initiated only when intended. This technology ensures that no false calls will be made from inclement weather conditions such as rain, hail, or snow. Pedestrians can now request to cross by simply waving their hand in front of the wave icon, eliminating the need to physically press a button.
