iTOUCH+ ONE TAP TIME EXTENDER

iTouch+

DESCRIPTION

Seniors and those with a disability often require modification to the time limits allowed at pedestrian crossings and busy intersections, the conventional push-button system may not give adequate time for safe crossing, especially for those who are less reactive and slower in crossing, which may give way to anxiety and panic.

The iTouch+, allows senior and disability cardholders to tap their concession card onto the sensor, mounted above the conventional push-button controller. The tap region is clearly indicated and is easily accessible.

One-tap of the concession card extends the green-man time from anywhere between 3 – 13 seconds depending on the size and location of the crossing.

This system has been tried and tested for many years and has been a great benefit to elderly and disabled pedestrians users.

KEY BENEFITS

Safer Crossing

Allowing immobile pedestrians extended pedestrian crossing times at traffic intersections, reduces panic, frustration and fear of traffic, which can be an altogether unpleasant experience and may also prevent a person from going out in public for fear of accidents.

Public Hygiene

People with impairment, elderly or disabled, need to be protected by improved hygiene measures. The risk of infection is greatly increased by human-to-surface contact. With the introduction of the one-tap for the elderly and disabled, the spread of infection is substantially reduced. iTouch+ is a hygienic alternative to standard pedestrian push buttons, which protects the public from potentially contaminating their hands and can prevent virus spread.

Installation

iTouch+ is designed to fit snugly above an existing conventional push button control system or the new iTouch Contactless system.  The curve of the iTouch+ mirrors the shape of the conventional push button system.
