The City of Murcia and territorial delegation Eleven are, today, pioneers in Spain for the implementation of smart Smartblue.
The Plaza San Agustín has released a semaphore that has intelligent LED optics, which integrates the light and sound, activating the latter to demand the visually impaired user and only when they need
To turn acoustic SmartBlue system the user can use a small remote control or the bluetooth system your mobile phone.
Smartblue is activated under user demand, thus avoiding unnecessary sounds when the acoustic feature is not required by anyone.
The use of wireless technologies for activation provides significant benefits to the user with visual disabilities, that part should not handle or touch items that are installed on the pole, and the other prevents you from having to locate the exact point of the same .
Therefore enhances security and user orientation compared to other solutions.
The system is a computer Smartblue whose characteristics make it valid both for citizens in general, and for those who need the information in an alternative way, namely by acoustic signals, contributing ultimately to improve the accessibility and mobility in the city , placing Murcia as unique reference and technology leader in acoustic signals for pedestrian traffic lights.
So, Murcia is the first city in Spain to have a traffic light with these features and benefits.
It also has a communications system that allows connection with traffic controllers.
SmartBlue These characteristics make it ideal for a part of the Smart Cities, since, for the first time all functions are integrated acoustic and visual communication with the regulator within a single optical LED.
Physically the product is presented as an LED optical square body, with the figure of the green pedestrian and / or countdown and independent control of the LEDs.
Emitting acoustic information SmartBlue tones is based on frequency and duration which allow the user differentiated:
- Approach and placed in the boot area of ​​the crossing through guidance tones.
- Start by crossing step tones.
- Learn to cycle through green tones to pass.
The use of tones compared to other types of signals allows the crossing status information reaches the user in a clear and unambiguous, avoiding confusion or masking the traffic noise, and increasing pedestrian safety with visual disabilities.
Each and every one of SmartBlue characteristics can be controlled and monitored through the communication system incorporating the computer.
In addition to acoustic signals emitted once SmartBlue has been activated, the device is capable of sending information to the user's mobile terminal.
This information is transmitted in text format that most terminal support and can be varied and may indicate information such as the user works nearby street name ...
Also the team can report traffic controllers the number, type and identification of nearby Bluetooth devices.
This allows you to do analysis of the types of devices and extract parameters of interest such as, for example, traffic flow, step frequency of public transportation and a multitude of variables used to improve mobility in urban areas.
The Department of Traffic and Transportation has projected the installation of nine other lights of its kind in the places that are requested by the Eleven.
