Your answer is almost certainly utilising the Visipad detector =
manufactured by Visilogue. These detectors are capable of detection at 0 =
KPH on the crossing and they can also be profiled so that pedestrians =
halfway across can be given longer extensions. Only one detector is =
required for each crossing which at =A31000/Unit makes them reasonably =
competitive.=20
Marek Daneshfar is the Managing Director of Visilogue and you can =
contact him on 07879667711.
With regard to the Kerbside Detectors you could consider using them to =
insert the demand which would be automatic whenever there is a =
pedestrian waiting. This would obviate the need for a disabled =
pedestrian needing to push the button where it is difficult for him/her =
to do so.
