Brief Explanation

Research shows the more familiar people are with an environment, the less attention they give it– which is especially dangerous at railway level crossings where expensive warning signals can’t be installed. We developed an interactive, cost-effective new way to engage pedestrians’ brains, right at the moment of risk. The Conscious Crossing is an outdoor installation consisting of a series of moveable gates. Installed right next to railway level crossings, it keeps the crossing environment ever-changing, continually altering the environment to make the familiar, unfamiliar. Shaking pedestrians out of their complacency and switching their minds from autopilot to alert for danger. Designed with human nature in mind, anyone can easily alter the gates into any of the 45,239,040 unique layout configurations, any time– empowering people to take an active role in helping keep fellow pedestrians safe. As the layout is continually changed, an ongoing cycle of safety between pedestrians is created.
