Curb bulbs extend the sidewalk into the street, reducing the time and distance it takes a pedestrian to cross. Curb bulbs can also prevent drivers from parking in front of crosswalks or blocking curb ramps. The visibility between drivers and pedestrians is also improved with curb bulbs because pedestrians are brought farther out into the street, making crossing locations more recognizable. 7, record 2, English, - curb%20extension

At the lowest level of the control framework are the intersection control nodes. As the name implies, these computers are located at each intersection where they gather and feed real-time data back to an area server. This information might include a pedestrian waiting to cross the street, or a damaged traffic pole. The area servers, which can each connect up to 256 control nodes, become the main communicators for the entire system, sending and retrieving data and commands to both the operations computer and to the appropriate intersection control node. 1, record 3, English, - in%20real%20time
