ZebraCross facilitates safe street crossings by remotely activating audible traffic lights. Designed for people with visual impairments, this app improves urban accessibility and promotes autonomy in public environments.
How does it work?
ZebraCross uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology to communicate with adapted traffic lights. It requires no prior pairing or complex interaction: just have the app active.
Usage modes:
● Automatic activation (beacon): The app detects proximity and activates the audible warning without intervention.
● Manual activation: The user presses a button from the app or wearable.
● Voice prompt (optional): If the traffic light allows it, a guidance prompt is played.
Main features:
• Remote, touchless activation of adaptive traffic lights
• Accessible interface focused on user autonomy
• Compatibility with mobile phones and wearables
• Optional audio prompts for greater guidance
Technical features:
• Compatible with Android and iOS (background limitations may apply on iOS)
• Emission of specific BLE frames depending on the mode of use
• Does not replace road signs or relieve pedestrians of their responsibility
