LED Traffic Countdown Signals


What are the benefits of countdown signals?
LED countdown timers are useful accessory to enhance safety and diminish undesirable behaviour of drivers

and other road users. They indicate the time remaining until red or green phase and thus positively

contribute to better orientation and less risky behaviour of all road users at junctions.

For instance, countdown timers at red lights warning drivers how much time is left before

the light changes can help to ease traffic flow. It was found that the presence of the countdown timers

at the intersection would help to reduce the start-up lost time at the beginning of the green phase by 22%,

and reduce the number of red-light violations during the beginning of the red phase by 50%.



Furthermore, more than half of the local drivers reported that the timers help to relieve the frustration caused

by stopping for uncertain amounts of time during the red phase.

The research has shown that after a period of 30 to 45 seconds of waiting, pedestrians become more risky,

impatient and were more likely to cross whenever they could regardless of the pedestrian signal displays.

This risky behavior might be eliminated by presence of countdown timers as pedestrians are aware

how much time is left.

What countdown timers do we provide?

Variations according to maximum countdown time
9, 99, 199, or999 seconds

Colour Combinations of Digits
Red only,

Green and Red only,

Red-Yellow-Green

For different kind of applications
large junctions (mounted on lamp post over the junction)

small sized junctions (beside the road or over junction on lamp post)

pedestrian crossings (mounted on lamp post beside crossing)

Housing material
Polycarbonate, Cold-rolled iron, or Aluminium

There are videos available here to show 3 different variations of countdown timers.

First one for large junctions (1), second one for small-sized junction (2) and lastly for pedestrian crossing (3).

  The integration of the pedestrian as a priority in the pedestrian traffic light system  has allowed the development of a dedicated optic for the crosswalk with customizable designs for each city, from the classic static man through the walking man and the corridor, to matrixes of led with hourglass transitions.   Featured traffic light with zebra crossing High Flux Pedestrian Traffic Light Clear Lens Pedestrian Traffic Light Pedestrian Traffic Light Modules   Pedestrian Traffic Light FAQS QWhat kind of led brand? For 5mm DIP we use EPISTAR; for High flux SMD we will use NICHIA   QWhat is the IP grade? QThe pedestrian light need software to programming? QDo you have different shape? QThe housing color are optional ?   As one of a top led lights manufacturers in China , we have various types of led flashing light   for sale, any need, please contact us.

New Development – 200mm High-flux LED Traffic Signal

Image
  We are glad to announce we have developed new version of our high-power LED light modules. This traffic signal – 200mm sized – is being applied commonly at junctions and provides traffic signaling. As you can see from the table below we replaced 6 LEDs with 3 high-flux surface mount type LEDs which are supplied by Nichia, Japan. They deliver higher light intensity while keeping low wattage. This type of LEDs will provide higher intensity and thus better performance at traffic lighting applications. Furthermore, it is energy efficient traffic light as the light modules consume no more 9W for green, and 7W for yellow and red.   Old version 200mm Color Amount Intensity Power Wavelength Red 6 LEDs 250cd 7w 622 ~ 628 Yellow 6 LEDs 410cd 7w 585 ~ 590 Green 6 LEDs 300cd 9w 500 ~ 506 New version 200mm Color Amount Intensity Power Wavelength Red 3 LEDs 400cd 7w 620 ~ 630 Yellow 3 LEDs 600cd 7w 590 ~ 594 Green 3 LEDs 600cd 9w 503 ~ 508   Sinowatcher Technology Co., Ltd is a profe...

The Working Principle of the Traffic Light Control System

Image
  As is known to all, the traffic light is an important guarantee for maintaining traffic order and ensuring the traffic is safe and unimpeded. In our daily life, when we pass an intersection or a T-shaped intersection, we may find that the time setting of the traffic lights on the main road and the secondary road will be different. In fact, the time setting of the traffic light on the road is mainly set by the control system. So how dose the traffic light control system work?   The working principle of the traffic light control system:   In the traffic light control system, the main controller, control circuit, counter, timer, decoder, clock signal generator, decoder drive circuit and digital display decoder drive circuit are needed to complete the whole process of controlling the traffic light.   The second pulse generator is the standard clock signal source of timer and controller in the system. The decoder outputs the control signals of two sets of traffic lights...
