Promoting sustainable urban mobility
Making soft modes of transport safer in town centres is an essential part of promoting sustainable urban mobility. Aximum supports towns and cities in their safety policies for ‘vulnerable’ users, such as pedestrians, cyclists and users of motorised personal transport devices, to ensure that different types of traffic can coexist harmoniously in urban spaces.
By improving the visibility of lanes, cycle paths and pedestrian crossings using innovative coatings and markings, limiting speed or controlling lane access, our solutions improve traffic conditions and safety in shared areas as well as on lanes dedicated to soft modes of transport.
Using coloured surfaces to mark out roads
Using coloured surfaces to mark out roads
The use of colour, in addition to road markings, improves the visual perception of cycle lanes. Coloured surfaces help to channel the paths of cyclists and ensure that different types of user cohabit peacefully .
There are a number of possible designs:
- Marking out cycle lanes or paths in high-risk, high-traffic areas: road crossings, cycle advanced stop lines, roundabouts, etc.,
- Creation of coloured cycling routes,
- Guidance using photoluminescent or retroreflective markings in poorly lit or unlit areas.
Aximum can help you with all your visual lane identification projects thanks to its comprehensive range of solutions.
- Typhoon Traffic non-slip water-based paint designed for coloured road surfaces,
- Indasquartz non-slip coating available in a wide range of colours to make hazardous areas on the road safer,
- Cyclad’ very high-grip surface, specifically formulated for easy-to-use, long-lasting cycle lanes.
Intelligent access control systems
Intelligent access control systems
Aximum can help you to develop and manage access to lanes as pedestrian and cyclist areas are widened. Our solutions enable you to:
- prohibit vehicular traffic temporarily or permanently
- regulate traffic flows and control access to shared areas.
Our services include the supply, installation and maintenance of roadside and security bollards in fixed, retractable and automatic versions, as well as automated barriers. Our teams also develop and integrate supervision systems and access control street furniture. The modular and intuitive Gencard Web® software can be used to manage and supervise the operation of access control systems in real time. Our solutions enable the opening of bollards or barriers to be conditioned by configurable criteria. Access to specific lanes or sites can be authorised on the basis of person recognition, Automatic Number-Plate Reading (ANPR), vehicle size, type of load or other selective criteria. These intelligent systems provide appropriate access to restricted areas.
Innovative active marking solution: FLOWELL
Innovative active marking solution: FLOWELL
Thanks to dynamic light-emitting marking, the visibility of signage is enhanced, particularly at night or in the rain. Active markings make areas safe for the most exposed road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists, at cycle intersections, pedestrian crossings and cycle lanes. This innovative solution also signals lane prioritisation and parking zones. Light-emitting marking can be linked to the detection of pedestrians or to the status of traffic lights to make pedestrian crossings safer:
- Pedestrian pack with presence detection
- Pedestrian pack synchronised with traffic lights.
