A high-tech “smart” road crossing which automatically differentiates between vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists, adapting its markings and signals to their needs in real-time. 

The smart crossing, which spans 22 metres of responsive road surface, uses computer vision technology to “see” exactly what’s happening around it, and an LED road surface to change its markings dynamically to keep users safe, without manual input. It can reportedly pre-empt pedestrians’ movement and where their eyeline is most likely to be, which helps to ensure it grabs road users’ attention to limit risk of danger.
