Making roads safer together Germany’s road network continues to grow and traffi c den-sity rise. Studies show that pedestrians are particularly at risk in urban traffi c, especially senior citizens as well as vis-ually impaired and blind people. The persistently high num-ber of pedestrians killed in traffi c is a subject of increasing public scrutiny. The situation is also becoming more dan-gerous due to technological progress and the noise reduc-tion it entails for many different vehicles. Langmatz has been helping to improve road safety for over 30 years with its innovative products. They include modern signalrequesting devices for traffi c light installations that ensure safe crossing of roads. They are not only user-friendly and meet all common standards, but also protect your investment in the future thanks to their design which blends into the cityscape.

Well-thought-outThe housing design of Langmatz signal requesting devices was developed to meet the spe-cifi c needs of pedestrians, particularly the blind and visually impaired. Ergonomically perfect design, user-oriented functions and high-quality surfaces characterise these modern, urban housings. Their shape, size and colour, for example, have been chosen so that they can be clearly identifi ed from a long distance. Yellow is considered the ideal signal colour because it can best be distinguished from grey, and its informative character visualises the hazard-ous situation suffi ciently. Of course, the range of Langmatz signal requesting devices encompasses all versions of standard symbols and texts, but is also individually adaptable. The vandal-proof and extremely temperature-resistant polycarbonate top covers (-25 ° to +60 °C) are available with a push-button or sensor and optionally also without visual feed-back.

: Our tough basic modelThe signal requesting device with tactile signalling for the visually impaired. Signals are requested either using a large-surface push-button or via a capacitive sensor, which can be operated even with gloves on. Changes in the sen-sor’s request zone, such as chewing gum or a layer of ice, are taken into account as part of the resonant circuit after a single request. This prevents a continuous request from occurring. Due to its easy installation, it is an ideal replace-ment for an older device and offers a particularly robust and standards-compliant solution.

Power is supplied from the acoustic device.

: Perfect combinationThe latest development from Langmatz: the soundguide plus is TÜV-tested and meets all standard requirements for a standards-compliant signal requesting device with its future-oriented technology. The soundguide plus consists of the basic plus button and the soundguide as an acoustic unit. The complete package is rounded off by newly developed software. All settings are transmitted intuitively, securely and wirelessly via an encoded, ac-cess-secure Bluetooth dongle (KRITIS).

basic plus: Standards-compliant andinvestment-optimised

The basic plus button is ideally suited for use on traffi c signals with pedestrian requesting system and tactile signalling for the visually impaired. When selecting the button, you can also decide between the standard and premium version. A loudspeaker is integrated in the premium version of the button to play back the orientation sound. Furthermore, requests are also acknowledged acoustically.The tactile crossing signal for the visually impaired prevents misinterpretation and helps people with limited sense of touch through the pulsed vibrating button.

The basic plus can only be operated in conjunction with the soundguide.

Optimum acoustics for the visually impairedWith the new soundguide, guide and pedestrian crossing signals are generated automatically on the basis of the level of traffi c noise. The signals can be defi ned in accordance with a country’s respective standard or according to the user’s wishes using the software. The signals are emitted from only one housing in the specifi ed direction in a cost-ef-fective manner. The pedestrian crossing signal is thus emitted into the crossing, and the guide signal is emitted down-wards around the pole location. The volume adapts to the current noise level and ensures optimum noise protection.

: Extremely adaptableThanks to its innovative features, the crossguide makes your traffi c light controller into a talking traffi c light.The device impresses with its tested technology and ensures safe mobility for pedestrians and the visually impaired. The added advantage: both voice prompts and signals can be individually entered and played back. Traffi c noise-dependant acoustics are already integrated.In addition, it is perfectly protected against vandalism thanks to its sturdy construction. All settings are confi gured using the software via USB cable, parametrising adapter or the optional Bluetooth dongle.The acoustic signalling device receives its data from the crossguide and can be optionally selected as a pole or signal chamber installation.
