	The animated eyes display is intended to remind pedestrians to look for vehicles that may be turning across their paths when they have the WALK signal.

  Animated eyes are intended for use at pedestrian crosswalks as an alternative to conventional pedestrian signals. Animated eyes displays are expected to encourage pedestrians to look for turning vehicles traveling on an intersecting path by including a prompt as part of the pedestrian signal. The prompt is a pair of animated eyes that scan from side to side at the start of the WALK indication. Depending on user preference, the animated eyes can be illuminated separately from the standard pedestrian symbol (walking person) for the beginning of the WALK phase or illuminated concurrently with the standard symbol. The animated eyes can also be illuminated repeatedly at regular intervals throughout the WALK phase to prompt pedestrians who did not begin to cross at the start of the WALK phase to continually inform them to watch for turning vehicles.

   The animated eyes display uses a light-emitting-diode (LED) pedestrian signal head and adds animated eyes that scan from side to side. The device uses narrow (8 degree) field of view LEDs on a black background. The display is highly visible to pedestrians while restricting signal visibility to motorists. The blue (460nm) LEDs present to the pedestrian a display consisting of two blue eyes with blue eyeballs that appear to scan left and right at the rate of one cycle per second. The eyes in the display are 5 inches wide, 2.7 inches high, and 2.25 inches apart. The WALK portion of the display is an 11.2 inch high outline of a walking person (a standard pedestrian symbol) constructed from blue LEDs. The DON'T WALK display is an 11.2 inch high upraised hand constructed from Portland orange (6.15 nm) LEDs.

ITS "EYES" Applications Other safety technologies have been developed based on the use of the animated searching eyes; including applications for railroad crossings, stop signs, parking garage exits, etc.
