Mounted like a traffic light at the corner of a road, a wireless 24 GHz-band millimeter-wave radar unit tracks pedestrian movement near crosswalks. Approaching vehicles can be altered audibly and visually with roadside screens or in-vehicle displays.
Sumitomo is testing the technology with five police departments in Japan.
