Road intersections are common points for accidents, and the people sharing them may not see each other in time. AVCiT's smart pole puts a warning at the roadside, at the spot where the risk is.

The smart pole as an integrated safety product

Large vehicles need more room to turn than their lane gives them, and drivers may not see the pedestrians or cyclists in their blind spots. AVCiT's Large Vehicle Turning Warning System answers that at the roadside, where the vehicle and the other road users may meet. It is built into a smart pole that carries a radar camera, an AVCiT AI Box, an LED screen, sensors and a PA system. The AI Box runs at the edge, next to the camera and the warning equipment, linking detection with roadside communication.

For example, the system picks up a large vehicle's intent to turn from 150 meters away. It reads the vehicle's trajectory, changes in speed and turn signal status together, which keeps false alarms down. Any potential risk triggers a warning within 1 second, relayed through the LED screen and the PA system to pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. Every alert is stored and logged, giving you a record for incident investigation or safety reporting.

How the smart pole seamlessly integrates with roadside operations

The pole connects to your existing radar and cameras through standard connection methods, so there is no custom integration work. It installs on existing poles, so there are no new poles and no extra construction, as long as the existing pole can physically support it. Your team manages it from the same unified dashboard as your other roadside devices, so there is no separate system to run for this one.
