“Why are the traffic lights in circle?”

Smart Traffic Lights System
Next Generation Traffic Light
Suggest improvement of existing crosswalk systems and alternatives for problems of the old turning signal system. We have seen a lot of accidents that result from the drivers who do not recognize that they are violating the stop line and pedestrians who do not keep the right.
By focusing on these matters and making an improvement of the system, we can find the ways to reduce traffic accident ate on the road. Therefore we can also minimize financial losses as well as a human's life.
This turning signal system is for reducing potential traffic accident rate. Firstly, the old design of the system can be changed to distinguishable design. And laser graphics beamed from it will make the drivers obey the stop line and also have pedestrians keep right when they cross the street. Drivers will be notified that they are violating stop line and pedestrians will find the vehicle passing the line easily. Moreover, the system displays the remaining time to change the signal, green to red, so that pedestrians can see how many seconds they have on the crosswalk.

This system displays the existing counter system on the crosswalk not just on the equipment so that pedestrians see it more easily. The decreasing number of arrows will not just notify pedestrians the remaining time on the road but
also let them keep the right.
This system displays the existing counter system on the crosswalk not just on the equipment so that pedestrians see it more easily. The decreasing number of arrows will not just notify pedestrians the remaining time on the road but
also let them keep the right. Laser graphics that induce pedestrians to keep right will be provided as well as displaying remaining crossing time.
More efficient system is constructed by assuring valid area of light and improving traditional LED turning signal system. And less number of modules keep the same light power, that means, it is more effective turning signal system.
