Currently being trialled by Bristol City Council, TraxEyes™ is an innovative green glowing stud for illuminating pedestrian and cycle pathways.
A visual boundary marking system, the stud - which emits a warm green glow - is used to outline the edges of public access areas, such as cycling paths and walking trails, so that they may be safely used at night and in low-light conditions.
Needing neither wiring, electricity nor batteries - and effectively offering running costs of zero - the device is reported to glow brightly for 12 hours after only eight minutes of daylight and is guaranteed for five years operation.
Bristol City Council has opted to try TraxEyes for a pedestrian route through the St. Werburghs area of the city for one of the first infrastructure schemes of the Cycling Demonstration City Project to be constructed in an environmentally sensitive area.
Elsewhere, English Heritage has deployed 100 of the units to highlight the edge of the
pathway on top of Berwick-upon-Tweed Ramparts, the emphasis here being firmly on safety.
Other interested parties are reported to include the British Waterways Partnership in Lincolnshire, Network Rail and several other UK utilities.
