PAVAPARK, as the successful bidder for the “Supply of devices for smart road safety solutions for pedestrian crossings, installation, and integration” contract, has built two smart pedestrian crossings in Macastre as part of the 2021 call for proposals for smart city initiatives from the Provincial Council of Valencia.
The smart pedestrian crossings installed by PAVAPARK are located at two key points on the main road through Macastre, Av. del País Valenciano. One is located near the Health Center and the other at the entrance to the Sports Center. The installation of these elements improves road safety for residents and visitors of Macastre.
The solution consists of two vertical light signals at each pedestrian crossing and a set of road studs that flash when any pedestrians are detected preparing to cross. Thus, when a pedestrian is about to cross at one of the two pedestrian crossings, the vertical light signals and road studs are activated and begin to flash, emitting an indicator light to approaching drivers.
Furthermore, the number of activations of the detection sensor system, as well as the energy consumption of each system, are sent from the master signal of each crossing to PAVAPARK’s CLARA Smart City Platform and the Valencia Provincial Council’s Sentilo Platform. This allows the Macastre City Council and the Valencia Provincial Council to closely monitor the solution’s operation.
PAVAPARK, a company belonging to the Pavasal Group, has extensive experience in the installation of smart and sustainable parking and mobility solutions, having installed its technological solutions in cities such as Aldaia, Alfafar, Alzira, Calp, Chiva, Cullera, Gandía, Mislata, Oliva, and Valencia. Innovation and research are pillars for the company, which currently manages 15,000 on and off-street parking spaces and actively participates in the development and implementation of smart city solutions in public administrations that improve people’s quality of life.
