Descripción del proyecto
Un nuevo dispositivo de señalización para unas carreteras más seguras
La eficacia de las señales viales depende principalmente de su visibilidad. Por tanto, las tecnologías de señalización y advertencia vial deben mantenerse y mejorarse. Cada año se registran numerosos accidentes con muertos o heridos graves a causa de una visibilidad deficiente. Las tecnologías actuales aplicadas a la señalización y la iluminación son ineficientes y se ven influidas por las condiciones meteorológicas, un mantenimiento inadecuado o unos servicios tecnológicos limitados. La empresa española Innovaciones SP3 propone una nueva aplicación llamada Sislum que mejorará la visibilidad y reducirá el número de fallecimientos en la carretera en un 70 %. Propone utilizar el dispositivo en zonas de abundante tráfico cerca de escuelas, estaciones de transporte y carriles bici. El proyecto Sislum, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene por objetivo preparar el dispositivo para su lanzamiento al mercado mundial para 2022.
Objetivo
Walking is 36 times more dangerous than driving, and 300 times more dangerous than flying. The first road crossing was invented in the 1930’s and remain almost the same since then. Each year road crashes generates around 95,000 fatalities and 2.4 million injuries only in EU region. 90 % of crashes are linked to human error, with pedestrians and riders constituting the main victims (39% of all deaths in road crashes) due to primarily inadequate visibility of pedestrians and vehicle speed. The problem remains unsolved due the limitations of current signs and warning technologies, such as: Ineffectiveness over time due to the temporary tunnel vision issue; Low tolerance to extreme weather conditions; Lack of incorporated Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). Many of current signaling systems deform road surface/bent the sidewalks after continuous vehicle transit over them or require complex maintenance operations with high return on investment.
In response to these challenges, Innvoaciones SP3 is bringing Sislum to the market: an emerging lighting system to increase road safety; promoting “smart mobility” through maximum crosswalk visibility and becoming a key enabler device to reduce road accidents up to 70%.
According the audit performed by a certified authority, due to its potential impact in accident reduction, Sislum is recommend being installed in areas with more vulnerable users, such as in schools’ areas, pedestrian crossings, level crossings, bike paths, bus stops, parking exits, airports, and police stations among others.
Sislum has already been tested in different road sections in 3 municipalities in Spain, including testing for analytics of the data generated by the application, with a positive outcome of increasing visibility up to 800m.
Our goal is to reach the market by 2022 and expand globally, in order to make road and especially pedestrian crossings safer worldwide.
