Robot Helping Pedestrians Cross Intersections Safely

The limited pilots have revealed that the crossing guard robots effectively address the challenges of managing and regulating traffic at unprotected intersections. While the product is highly desired by schools, there is a reluctance to invest in it financially. Based on experiences within the pilot, Snowbotix is exploring alternative business models and enhancing the product’s technical capabilities to support use in larger areas with more diverse needs in order to showcase the product's capabilities on a larger scale.

The Safer Crossings pilot took place from June to July 2023.

Safer Crossings conducted tests at:

1. Roberto Clemente Recreation Center
2. Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation
3. Most Holy Trinity School
4. Gleaners
