A smart pedestrian crossing has been launched in Tashkent region

A new modern project has been implemented in Uzbekistan to enhance pedestrian safety. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

A smart pedestrian crossing based on artificial intelligence has been launched in Tashkent region. This was announced by the press service of the regional administration.

The first phase of the project is being tested in the city of Nurafshon. This system detects pedestrians participating in road traffic and alerts drivers with a warning signal saying "Attention, pedestrian!"

The system operates actively not only during the day but also at night. When a person is detected crossing the road, the "Pedestrian Crossing" sign is projected onto the road surface using special projectors.

Additionally, the zebra crossings are equipped with special lighting technology, allowing drivers to see the pedestrian crossing from a distance. This serves to maximize the driver's attention during movement.

According to the project authors, this system plays a crucial role in preventing road traffic accidents involving pedestrians. Especially during the evening hours when there is a lack of light, this system significantly enhances safety.

Currently, such technologies are widely used in developed countries, but now such innovations are being introduced in Uzbekistan as well. If the tests in the city of Nurafshon are successfully completed, the system is planned to be initially implemented in other areas of Tashkent region and later throughout the entire republic.

The success of the project depends not only on technical aspects but also on the public's attitude towards the new system and its effective use. If every driver and pedestrian correctly utilizes the system's capabilities, road traffic safety will improve significantly.

Such initiatives are of great importance in Uzbekistan's efforts to digitize transport infrastructure, enhance safety, and align with international standards. Therefore, it is required for the public to have a considerate and responsible attitude towards the new system and actively support it.

Only in this way can the "smart" zebra system become an effective tool in saving human lives. Source: press service of the regional administration
