Abstract
Green light flashing signals of pedestrian lights can cause lots of confusion for pedestrians, resulting in serious road traffic problems. In this study, a new signalling lamp was proposed using the Lenticular technique to make the signals of pedestrians entering and not entering crosswalks look different. In order to review the possibility of introducing this signal, we conducted a cognitive test on the signal of the Lenticular. As a result of the experiment, the subjects were able to distinguish red and green flashing signals according to the distance. Based on this, we found the possibility of introducing lenticular signals that could prevent pedestrian accidents and prevent excessive crossings. In the future, we will manufacture and experiment with real traffic lights and actively examine the introduction plan.
