The company Pavapark, a specialist in mobility management and the integration and development of smart city solutions, part of the Pavasal group, has completed the installation of two educational radars and two smart pedestrian crossings in Cullera, thus strengthening the City Council’s commitment to transforming the municipality into a Smart City.
Cullera belongs to the National Network of Smart Tourist Destinations and plans to invest the aid received from the Next Generation Funds in the coming months in the digital, green, and sustainable transition, and in improving energy efficiency and competitiveness.
The two educational radars installed by PAVAPARK are located on the Bega Bridge and on Corbera Street before the intersection with Fortaleny Street. These are two key locations connecting Cullera with the A-38.
These radars display the approaching speed of vehicles on a screen. This helps to raise drivers’ awareness of their speed limits. Furthermore, radar screens offer the option of adding messages and icons.
On the other hand, regarding smart pedestrian crossings, one is located on one of Cullera’s main streets, Avenida del Racó, at the intersection with Calle Águila.
The pedestrian crossing in question is made up of fourteen 50 x 50 cm horizontal illuminated signaling plates located at the ends of each white band of the pedestrian crossing, six RLP illuminated pilots located at the ends of each black zone of the pedestrian crossing and two vertical illuminated signals.
This light signal is activated when the vertical signal detection sensors indicate that a pedestrian is about to cross the crossing.
The 50 x 50 cm illuminated signs emit white light and are activated only during nighttime. The RLP illuminated signs emit red light and are activated only during daytime. The vertical signs have both white and red light and are activated during both daytime and nighttime hours.
In this way, both day and night, the pedestrian crossing provides visible warning that a user is crossing, so drivers can slow down and stop their vehicles.
Another pedestrian crossing has been installed on Cervantes Street, and two more will be installed on Avinguda del Port.
The range of products and services managed by Pavapark, a smart city product and service catalog, combined with the ongoing demand for the most important quality certifications it holds, allows it to continue investing in R&D&I, a fundamental pillar of the company’s service delivery.
Thanks to the installation of these two smart verticals, Cullera City Council continues to invest in improving road safety in Cullera and transforming the city into a truly smart city that improves the lives of its residents and visitors.
