A crosswalk safety system includes a plurality of cameras that are positioned along a crosswalk lane. Each of the cameras are positioned and oriented to capture the front and rear license plate of a motor vehicle traversing the crossing lane, and a pedestrian walking along the crossing lane. A tower is provided and functions to support a plurality of warning lights, a digital sign, a strobe detector, and a pair of user interfaces. A vehicle detection sensor is positioned adjacent to the crosswalk lane. Each of the system components are connected to a central controller which selectively activates the lights, sign and cameras upon receiving an instruction from one or each of the vehicle detection sensor, the strobe detector or the user interfaces. Audiovisual information captured by the cameras is sent by the controller to a platform provider interface which is in communication with a government agency interface device.

Crosswalk safety and reporting system

A method of manufacturing is disclosed for the installation of a one piece damper member for retaining the midpoint of a torsion tube on the torsional axis of a channel-shaped cross beam vehicle rear axle. The damper member is formed during the axle assembly line advancement by injecting a first mass of hardenable urethane paste material into a side gap portion and arcuate shaped central gap portion of a D-shaped recess defined intermediate the channel interior and the tube. A second mass of the urethane paste material is injected into the remaining side gap portion and channel upper open end space. As an adjunct to the axle being advanced through assembly line washing, wax coating and heat treating operations the first and second masses coalesce and attain an accelerated final curing of the tube retaining damper member.

Method for manufacturing a vehicle cross-beam rear axle

A damper member is disclosed for retaining a torsion rod within cross-beam inverted channel-shaped rear axle. The damper member is normally U-shaped in cross-section having an upwardly opening central bore defined by vertically extending leg portions and a base portion. Upon the damper member being compressed into a D-shaped clearance between the channel and the rod its section is transformed for a U-shape to a C-shape. The unique design of the damper member enables it to be lockingly retained under pressure in the D-shaped clearance.
