Wangfujing, Beijing's iconic 892-meter commercial street, welcomes up to 600,000 visitors daily — and over 1.2 million during peak holidays. But as the district evolved, so did its challenges: a dangerous vehicle-pedestrian conflict point at the Jinyu Hutong intersection, disconnected north-south foot traffic, and a confusing wayfinding system.
To address these issues, TraffiClair launched an urban renewal project built around four principles: Safety, Intelligence, Green, and Humanity.
The centerpiece? A Smart Pedestrian Crossing System that uses connected intelligent devices to make crossings safer and more visible:
🚦 Integrated Pedestrian Signal — Combines standard signals with LED text displays, voice prompts, and countdown light bands for multi-sensory guidance.
🔊 Voice Prompt Posts — Synchronized red/green displays with audio alerts that warn pedestrians against crossing on red.
💡 In-Ground Traffic Lights — Embedded LED lights that mirror the pedestrian signal and auto-adjust brightness based on ambient light.
✨ Side-Emitting LED Road Studs — Illuminate toward approaching vehicles, syncing with traffic signals and adjusting brightness automatically.
➡️ Arrow-Shaped LED Ground Tiles — Dynamic directional indicators that guide pedestrians with animated green arrows.
The result: a safer, smarter, and more connected pedestrian experience — transforming a century-old commercial street into a model smart district for the modern era.
