Raspberry Pi trail signs

3dprinterwannabe
3dprinterwannabe over 11 years ago

As a biker, I have noticed that many people do not realize that trails are often split into sections for pedestrians and bikers. Many people put others in danger by straying onto the wrong trail without warning, and causing accidents. What if there were electronic signs that warned of oncoming bikers or pedestrians so others could get out of the way in time. There is no "dominant race" on the trail, but there are some simple rules of ettiquete that could be helped along by this simple device. I suggest an led matrix and an infrared sensing system powered by a Raspberry Pi. Any suggestions?

    Good thought.

     

    It might be best to approach it with a sign that illuminates to say "Path is clear" rather than lighting to indicate "Oncoming User".

     

    People tend to rely heavily on such technology, and a failure could cause a dangerous assumption that the route is clear.

    That makes sense. Leaning towards caution seems the better route. This is a neat project idea none-the-less.
