A pedestrian protection system using a beacon signal includes a beacon device mounted on a vehicle to transmit a beacon signal, a beacon signal receiver configured to receive the beacon signal transmitted by the beacon device of the vehicle, bollard devices disposed adjacent to one side of a crosswalk toward a sidewalk where a person waits to cross a street at the crosswalk, a pedestrian display device, a lighting device configured to brighten the crosswalk or the sidewalk, a speaker configured to notify the pedestrian or the waiting pedestrian of the approaching of the vehicle, and a controller configured to identify the approaching of the vehicle based on the beacon signal received from the beacon signal receiver, to receive information about the pedestrian or waiting pedestrian from the bollard device, and to control operations of the pedestrian display device and the lighting device.

A system for illuminating a carriageway in a case of fog includes a road safety barrier arranged along the carriageway, at least one fog density detecting device arranged along the road safety barrier, and a plurality of light sources borne by the road safety barrier, distributed along the road safety barrier, and oriented for each to emit a light beam having a direction that is transversal to an extension axis of the road safety barrier so as to illuminate signage on the carriageway. A control unit that is connected to the light sources and to the fog density detecting device is configured to activate the light sources when the fog density detecting device detects a fog density value of above a threshold value.

The invention relates to a security barrier apparatus 10, 70, 100 comprising a support 12 having at least three upright posts 14, 16, 18, 72 thereon. Two of the posts 14, 18 being fixed to the support 12 and at least one post 16, 72 being translatably movable relative to the two fixed posts 14, 18. The two fixed posts 14, 18 being spaced apart from one another and comprise a first plane 19 therebetween. The movable post 16, 72 being mounted to a slide device 24 of the support 12 for providing said translatable movement. The slide device 24 to operate the apparatus 10, 70 between an open position and a closed position such that in the closed position the movable post 16, 72 is between the fixed posts 14, 18 for inhibiting the passage of a vehicle, and in the open position the movable post 16, 72 is out of alignment with the first plane 19 and adjacent to one of the fixed posts 14, 18 for allowing the passage of a vehicle therebetween.

A bollard for floor installation that includes: a base that is installed on the ground; an intermediate outer cylinder that is installed on the top of the base; a connector that is fitted in the base through the internal space of the intermediate outer cylinder; a spring that is fitted on the connector; and an extension outer container that extends a length by being coupled to the intermediate outer cylinder.

A bollard assembly includes a bottom plate with a forward edge and an aft edge, an elongated member mounted on the bottom plate and extending from a forward end to an aft end in a direction from the forward edge toward the aft edge, a bollard secured to the bottom plate with a bollard section of the elongated member disposed inside of the bollard, bars mounted on the bottom plate on opposite sides of the elongated member, and a top plate having a smaller perimeter than the bottom plate mounted on the elongated member and the bars with the bollard extending above the top plate.

A shallow mount safety bollard assembly includes a bottom plate having a front edge, an aft edge, and a longitudinal axis extending in a front-to-aft direction and a lateral axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, a pair of side bars, having front ends and aft ends, attached to a top plate surface of the bottom plate and extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, a sleeve having a bottom end attached to the top plate surface between the pair of side bars, an internal bore, and a top opening, a bollard having a lower section located in the internal bore, and a latch moveable from a lock position fixedly securing the bollard to the sleeve and an unlock position allowing the bollard to be removed from the sleeve.

A retractable bollard system for installation in a support surface that includes pavement includes a shell that when installed in the support surface extends below an upper surface of the pavement. The bollard system includes a post to be telescopically coupled to the shell. The post is axially movable relative to the shell selectively to an upper area and a lower area. The post extends farther above the shell when the post is in the upper area than when the post is in the lower area. The bollard system further includes a shock absorber to encircle the shell. The shock absorber is made of a polymeric material.

A crash guard configured to resist intrusion of a vehicle from a traffic lane into an area and to resist intrusion into an area of debris caused by an impact of a vehicle into the crash guard or into another vehicle.

A shallow mount safety bollard assembly includes a bottom plate having a front edge, an aft edge, and a longitudinal axis extending in a front-to-aft direction and a lateral axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis, a pair of side bars, having front ends and aft ends, attached to a top plate surface of the bottom plate, and extending generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, and a bollard connected to the bottom plate between the pair of side bars. The bollard may be permanently or removably connected to the base of the assembly.

An example bollard system includes a post extension to extend upward from a floor, and a first collar to encircle the post extension. The example bollard system includes a first connector to encircle the post extension adjacent to the first collar, and a first handrail to be connected to the first connector. The example bollard system includes a second connector to encircle the post extension adjacent to the first connector, and a second handrail to be connected to the second connector. The example bollard system includes a second collar to encircle the post extension adjacent to the second connector. The first collar is invertible selectively to a first lock position and a first release position, the first connector having greater freedom to rotate relative to the first collar when the first collar is in the first release position than when the first collar is in the first lock position.
