Smart Warning Light System

Smart Warning Light System Enhances Tram Safety in Ostrava

A modern warning light system controlled by V2X technology has been put into operation on the tram line near the “Krajský úřad” stop on 28. října Street in Ostrava. This innovative system helps increase safety in the vicinity of tram stops and pedestrian crossings.

How Does the Smart Warning Light System Work?

The system uses V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication, which enables automatic control of lighting at tram stop platforms and pedestrian crossings. The light elements respond to the movement of trams and public transport vehicles – when a vehicle approaches, warning lights are activated to alert pedestrians and passengers to the oncoming tram. After the vehicle departs or when the doors open, the lighting is automatically switched off. This makes movement around stops safer and more transparent.

Key Benefits of the System

• Automatic light control based on data from public transport vehicles (V2X, C-ITS G5 standard)
• Remote management and monitoring with event history logging
• Resistance to extreme temperatures, vibrations, and moisture
• Integration with the remote supervision systems of Dopravní podnik Ostrava
• Increased safety for pedestrians and passengers in the vicinity of tram stops
  
  

Benefits for Urban Transport

The new warning light system helps prevent accidents and ensures smoother operation around tram stops. Modern technology brings higher comfort and improved safety for all participants in urban transport.
