Gate-Operated Kinetic Energy Switches
A gate is pivotally mounted on an upstanding post located adjacent a juncture of intersecting travel paths. To prevent collisions of persons and/or vehicles moving along the intersecting travel paths at the travel path juncture, a kinetic energy harvesting switch is carried by the upstanding post and has a spring-projected push button or plunger-type operator that is depressed relative to a housing of the switch when the gate begins to open to admit a person and/or a vehicle to the travel path juncture. Energy harvested by the switch is utilized to transmit a radio frequency signal that can be received by a device that displays a visual warning and/or emits an audible warning, advising that collision avoidance measures are likely to be needed to prevent a collision at the travel path juncture.
