Panda (Pedestrian & Driver Alert)- Alert System Overview
The Pedestrian & Driver Alert, also known as Panda, System is your one-stop towards safety. Australian made, its aim is to use visual cues to signal both drivers and pedestrians. Adaptable to your different needs, it is a basis of safety and clear communication. May it be for school settings or other pedestrian crossings with blind spots, the flashing lights easily signal to minimise risks and increase awareness.
By reducing reaction time, the Panda System is your comprehensive solution for any duty of care.
Features and Advantages
Fully wireless, the system functions with the use of solar panels. Users can also choose to have an optional battery. The device is modular and adapts to different locations and situations. The lack of external control cabling enables the system to exist at a lower price-point while staying reliable. One can easily fit the Panda System to existing signs and systems. The solution is pole mountable with a kit that includes beacons.
As flexibility is key for efficient results, users can choose to either activate the Panda manually or automatically. Depending on the time of the day or night, this can create a real difference for peace of mind. The System includes the pole-mounted Wireless Road-Side Warning Lights (see below). One can choose to add the Wireless In-Road Lights to their zone of concern as well, depending on their needs. Users can customise their experience by selecting the activation system that suits their concerns. Presence triggers and timers are also available options for greater peace of mind and ease.
Panda offers you the flexibility of a human presence, with the reliability of a programmed device. Keeping communities safe while involving them in the process, at a cost-friendly price point.
Components of the Pedestrian & Driver Alert (Panda) System
The Panda Systems has many different components. This allows for better modularity at a lower cost. Users can decide what aspects they need most, and the capacity desired. The System can be divided into three different sections: the Activation Options, the Warning Options, and the Controller.
The Activation Options:
- Push-button
Pedestrians can manually activate the System as needed. A button is mounted on a pole for ease of access and usage. The device connects directly to the Alert Device Controller (see below). No matter the weather or time, the wireless activation allows for safe and quick results.
- Automatic
Users can easily set a timer to the Pedestrian And Driver Alert System. One can then factory configure times and dates that may be essential under a certain context. For instance, during school zone hours, or other statistically high-risk times. This is available for any hour or day.
- Portable Remote Control
By carrying around a remote control, one can ensure safety at all times. As soon as a risk or danger is detected, anyone can manually activate the alert. With the simple push of a button, users can also deactivate as needed. All remotes are coded to their own PANDA System for peace of mind.
- Fixed Wireless Remote Control Panel
This solution is especially efficient when the user is not directly on site. The panel would be located inside of a building, in an office for instance. One can manually activate and deactivate the System at the push of a button during busy hours.
The Warning Options:
- Wireless Road-Side Warning Lights
This component includes both flashing lights and an Alert Device Controller (ADC – see below). One can easily mount the module on existing pole signs. This allows for ease of usage and quick installation as well as better reach. The warning lights use a solar panel to function at any time of the day or night. They have a fail-to-safe design feature available, in the situation they lose connection to the network. In the case of a system failure, this option allows to minimise any potential danger to the surroundings.
- Wireless In-Road Warning Lights (IRAD)
As their name indicates, these modules are placed on the road. Due to this, they are waterproof and resistant to impacts. Users can install them before and after zones of concern to surround them. These light components use battery power. Similar to their Road-Side counterparts, they feature a fail-to-safe optional property.
The Control Option:
- Alert Device Controller (ADC)
Users have the option to have this controller on its own, or integrated with the Wireless Road-Side Warning Lights component. This depends on specific needs and locations. This controller helps coordinate not only activation devices but also warning lights. When using a timer for Road-Side lights, an ADC is not necessary.

Locations and Applications
The Pedestrian And Driver Alert System suits many different environments. Key aspects of the Panda are its friendly design and ease of usage. The device was created for all to use, even without extensive safety training. Specifically, Panda will find its place the best in contexts where better awareness may be needed. This can be due to low visibility or general situational issues. Potential locations include public roads, aircraft landing strips, loading docks, aged care facilities, car parks, and school zones.
Costs and Prices of the Panda System
Panda’s mission is to create accessible and lasting peace of mind for individuals and professionals. Because of this, discounts are available for bulk purchases at already highly competitive prices and freight rates.
Panda Systems cost an average of 10% less than traditional traffic light installation, with the same reliability.
This also means no user should worry about costs, fees, or maintenance after the original installation. Financing Plans may also be available and are subject to approval.
Why the Panda (Pedestrian & Driver Alert) System
The Pedestrian & Driver Alert System is both scalable and cutomisable to different concerns and applications. It is easy to combine the Panda System to previous or new infrastructures to create a solution for your very needs and context. Following this logic, no two systems are the same. Its ease of usage creates a safe and secure application, without compromising on the quality of its structure. The housing of the System is both modular and sturdy with a case made of stainless steal for better environmental resistance. The Panda Solution also offers reflective roadsigns and the option to customise the sign messages (within respect of the road as well as council rules and approvals).
Operating Panda
The Pedestrian And Driver Alert System adapts to pole-mounted warning signs. In the instance of a pedestrian crossing, the Wireless Road-Side Warning Lights (see above) would have to be 6-20 metres before the area of concern. The additional Wireless In-Road Warning Lights (see above), typically placed along the centre line, would have a space of 4-10 metres.
Network Security
Every System is unique with its own encrypted code. This means the whole System connects together easily without interferences, and that no hacking is possible. Because of this, multiple Panda Systems can function at the same time and in the same site without hindering the other.
Network Licenses
The Panda System does not require a license, making it even easier to use. This is because the network is low frequency (433\mhz range) and will not cause interferences with other systems.
Activation
May it be by using a button or a timer, activation is easy and flexible. Minimising reaction time is a priority, which is why users can actively choose where to place their activation methods. It is recommended to keep a remote as a Master in a safe place to ensure security. One can scale up or down on activation devices to suit different zones of concern.
