The VisibleCrossing story
We haven’t left the startup marker yet, but this year the idea is 5 years old, which has set us on track to accomplish our mission.
The idea is born
On a gray autumn dawn Laszlo Nagy took his wife to work as she drove through a poorly lit zebra in her car. He also wondered if he would notice if a pedestrian was about to cross. Fate responded to the contemplation as he crossed the same crossing back 15 minutes later. The ambulance had just taken care of the seriously injured pedestrian who had been driven away by a car because he had not noticed…

The first working prototype
Research to solve the problem soon came to fruition, and 1 year after the laboratory tests, we began testing the prototype under live conditions, which we named SafeXOne.
Capital increase
The prototype of our SafeXOne system successfully passed the live tests, so the next step was to find an investor to provide the necessary financial background for product development. This year joined our mentor Gábor Józsa.

R&D, domestic and foreign exhibitions
This year, we developed and tested several different prototypes. Several versions have been made for all components: control, solar charging, pedestrian detection, laser light and communication. In the spring of ‘18, we visited one of the world’s leading road safety exhibitions in the Netherlands, and then in the autumn we took part in a domestic innovation exhibition.
The first working systems
In the summer of 2019, we installed 2 of our systems in an urban environment for testing. One in Veszprém, the other in Várpalota. Over the past year, we have made more than 150,000 pedestrian crossings safer and the systems are running smoothly. In the autumn of this year, we carried out another capital increase, which was used to prepare for series production.

Series production
We have good news for pedestrians: SafeXOne series production started in the spring of 2020 and we protect zebra crossers in more and more settlements. Our system has meanwhile been expanded with a monitoring function provided by the IoT Gateway, with which we receive real-time data from all installed locations, which our customers can view from any smart device, and we can also continuously monitor the operation of the systems.
Wondering how quickly and for how much we can build a SafeXOne system at dangerous pedestrian crossings in your area?
How does SafeXOne system works?
The SafeXOne system consists of four bollards located on the four corners of the designated pedestrian crossing. The bollards can be powered by solar energy, which allows easy installation. SafeXOne provides double protection. On the one hand, a yellow flashing clearly visible on the sides of the bollards indicates the intention to cross for motorists, and on the other hand, the emitted laser light as a primary protection function illuminates pedestrians’ feet while crossing.
Unlike other static systems, SafeXOne’s visibility improving system works on a dynamic principle. It is only activated if a pedestrian wants to cross the zebra. And the flickering and “movement” of the laser light at the same time as the step can effectively warn the driver of the danger. This operating scheme prevents drivers from getting used to the general flashing devices and the function of increasing safe crossing later on.
Pedestrian detection
Activated only if someone is crossing.
Visible move
Laser light makes the dynamics of motion visible
Visible safety
An additional yellow flashing also warns the drivers
Remote access
System status and statistics can be queried from anywhere
