ClairSaf Rural Intersection Conflict Warning System (RICWS) utilizes a forward multi-object radar detector to real-time monitor the traffic operation status of motor vehicles, agricultural vehicles, etc., on rural roads. It conducts traffic flow data analysis, and the perception processor issues instructions for audio and visual safety warnings, prompting rational control of vehicle speed to reduce the occurrence of accidents at rural level crossings and curved road intersections. This system utilizes solar power and 4G/5G wireless communication technology, effectively addressing the challenges of power supply and network connectivity in rural and mountainous areas.

Rural Road Level-crossing

• For vehicles traveling on the main road: When the branch road detects the approach of a motor vehicle, it triggers the main road's "slow" active light signal and activates the yellow flashing warning lights to prompt vehicles on the main road to slow down and proceed with caution. 
• For vehicles traveling on rural branch roads: When the main road detects an approaching vehicle at the intersection, it triggers the branch road's "stop" yield active light signal, activates the yellow flashing warning lights, and issues an audible warning (silent during nighttime or under specified conditions). This alerts rural side road motor vehicles, agricultural vehicles, etc., to pay attention to oncoming traffic on the main road and ensure safe passage.
• Rural Road Bend Area
  
• Detecting no oncoming vehicles in the blind spot of the bend: The yellow flashing light blinks slowly, displaying the speed value of vehicles in this direction (red for overspeed, green for normal speed), illuminating the display with the message 'Curved Section, Slow Down,' indicating that vehicles should proceed with caution for safety. 
• When oncoming vehicles are detected in the blind spot of the bend: The yellow flashing warning lights flash rapidly (alerting oncoming traffic to yield), simultaneously displaying the speed value of vehicles in this direction (red for overspeed, green for normal speed). The display illuminates with the message “Curved Section, Slow Down,” prompting safe driving. Customizable digital broadcasting announces, “Oncoming traffic ahead, slow down for the bend.”
