The City of Adelaide is the first Council in South Australia to trial iTouch – a new contactless pedestrian push button control. Supplied by Australian company Aldridge Traffic Systems, the units are being trialled at the pedestrian actuated signals on Melbourne Street in North Adelaide.
Aldridge Traffic Systems also produces a product called iTouch+ which is a pedestrian time-extender allowing seniors and disability cardholders to tap their card onto a sensor to extend crossing time. Council is looking into the feasibility of these products.
