CONTROL OF BOLLARD LUMINAIRE FOR CROSSWALK

摘要

The present disclosure describes a control scheme for actively detecting the presence of a pedestrian which triggers the lighting of a bollard-style luminaire, methods for crosswalk illumination using the bollard-style luminaires, and methods of communication between bollard-style luminaires. The present disclosure further describes actively monitoring for vehicles and indicating safe passage, through lighting feedback on a pedestrian crosswalk or other walkway. The bollard luminaire includes a design that generally confines light to illuminate the crosswalk and the pedestrian in the crosswalk, such that light that could produce glare for the pedestrian and/or a driver approaching the crosswalk is minimized.
