The Challenge of Urban Mobility and Road Safety
Pedestrian fatalities in the EU dropped 20% from 2010 to 2018, reflecting progress in road safety (European Commission, 2020). Yet, pedestrians still account for 21% of all road deaths, proving that risks remain—especially in urban areas where poor lighting, low visibility, and lack of smart infrastructure put lives at stake.
Despite the gains, pedestrians remain highly vulnerable, and traditional safety measures are insufficient.
Smart technology is key to bridging these gaps, making crossings safer and more intuitive for both drivers and pedestrians. The challenge is clear—it's time for cities to adopt innovative, proactive solutions to eliminate preventable accidents.🚦

How Omniflow’s Smart Crosswalks Bridge the Gaps
Reduce accidents and optimize traffic with a sustainable, intelligent solution for pedestrians and drivers.
Progress in road safety is evident, but cities need smart, sustainable, and effective technologies to further protect pedestrians and achieve Vision Zero for traffic fatalities.
To accelerate accident reduction and provide proactive safety, Omniflow Smart Crosswalks offer an innovative solution that directly addresses the main causes of pedestrian fatalities:
-
✅ Smart Lighting – Sensors detect pedestrians and activate targeted lighting, enhancing visibility.
-
✅ Dynamic Signaling – LEDs and visual alerts warn drivers in real time.
-
✅ 24/7 Monitoring – Integrated CCTV and traffic analysis for enhanced urban control.
-
✅ Renewable Energy – Powered by solar and wind, ensuring sustainable operation and cost reduction.
Topography of a Pedestrian Crossing
The topography of pedestrian crosswalks varies depending on the urban environment, requiring tailored solutions to maximize safety and accessibility. Smart systems with illuminated signals and sensors enhance visibility and reduce risks in high-traffic areas. In residential zones, raised crossings and textured pavements encourage vehicles to slow down. In pedestrian-heavy areas, integration with public spaces improves flow and safety.
Each scenario demands a specific approach, blending technology and urban design to create safer and more efficient crossings.

Infrastructure-Level Safety
in Action
Smart Crosswalks are not conceptual prototypes.
They are deployed in real urban environments, adapting to different mobility challenges and infrastructure conditions.
Challenge:
Low visibility during nighttime and limited driver awareness in a high-risk crossing zone.
Solution:
Omniflow Smart Crosswalk integrated dynamic LED signalling with adaptive lighting, increasing pedestrian visibility and driver reaction time.
Smart Crosswalks are most effective when integrated into broader urban mobility strategies, whether as part of road redesign projects or targeted safety upgrades in high-risk zones.
Part of a Broader Smart Infrastructure Ecosystem
Smart Crosswalks operate as part of an integrated urban infrastructure strategy - combining adaptive lighting, mobility intelligence, and digital management systems.
