A control device includes a control unit configured to execute controls of displaying, on a roadway, a first crosswalk toward a first side of a roadway and displaying, on the roadway, a second crosswalk toward a second side of the roadway, and concealing the first crosswalk from the first side toward the second side while a pedestrian is crossing the roadway from the first side to the second side through the first crosswalk and the second crosswalk and concealing the second crosswalk after the pedestrian has crossed the roadway. The second side is opposite to the first side.

Disclosed is an illuminating panel, in particular integrated into a traversable surface, including, in succession, a first protective film arranged on the front face of the device, a first exterior encapsulating film, an interior encapsulating film, a second exterior encapsulating film, and a second protective film arranged on the rear face of the device, one of the films chosen from among the first exterior encapsulating film, the interior encapsulating film and the second exterior encapsulating film coating at least one active element suitable for emitting light. Also disclosed is a method for producing such a panel and a functional traversable surface with such a panel.

An information processing apparatus controls a road surface marking apparatus configured to form any road surface marking by changing light emission patterns of a plurality of light emitters provided on a road surface. In the information processing apparatus, a control unit detects, when switching from a second traffic lane through which a pedestrian is allowed to pass to a first traffic lane through which a pedestrian is prohibited from passing is executed, a user who is a pedestrian remaining in the first traffic lane after the switching. Then, the control unit causes the road surface marking apparatus to form an urging marking used for urging the user to withdraw from the first traffic lane after the switching.

A cast concrete durable light fixture design and assembly that will allow in-ground lighting features for roadways, pathways and architectural features providing a simple installation for a drive over in-grade or in-ground lighting fixture. The cast concrete design enables curves and shapes to be manufactured as easily as straight or linear configurations.

A system and method for providing increased traffic carrying capacity of a road, such as a highway, by modifying an existing roadway from, for example, four lanes to five lanes, to create an additional travel lane. The system and method dynamically changes the width of travel lanes using, for example, embedded pavement lights, or other lighting arrangements, in lieu of traditional painted lane lines. As traffic volumes increase and speeds decrease along the road, an intelligent transport system (ITS) sends a congestion signal to the overhead lane controls and dynamic message signs (DMS) along the entire road segment of interest. The posted speed limits are changed, and the lane markings are controlled to dynamically increase the number of lanes in the road segment to five, for example, of narrower widths until traffic volumes reduce and the number of lanes can be returned to four, for example, with normal speed limits.

The invention refers to a lighting automatic system for pedestrian crossing and to a method of making the markings for the pedestrian crossings. The system comprises several lighting units sank in the asphalt made of a box (2) welded by a netting (11) fixed on the bottom of the hole made for the mounting of the lighting units, the box (2) having an external frame (5) and being closed with a detachable cap (4) equipped with a window in which a protection frame is fixed (6) of a piece made of safety glass (8), the cap representing the transversal marking of the pedestrian crossing, in the interior of the box (2) being a LED lighting unit (1) powered by a net or a photovoltaic plant (14) mounted on a pile (17) in the proximity of the pedestrian crossing, on the surface of the cap (4) being poured bitumen subsequently painted with reflecting painting, so that the glass (8) in the mounted state of the system, to be at the level of the roadway (10).
