Ready for the Future: Options for Intelligent Transportation Systems

Work Zone ITS – Work Zone Intelligent Transportation Systems are temporary traffic management solutions consisting of:

• Traffic management devices (arrows, message boards, changeable speed signs, and more.)
• Traffic sensors (queue detectors, volume and speed sensors, etc.)
• Software that analyzes the data from the sensors

This system allows Traffic Control staff to monitor and control the flow of traffic in and around highway work zones by displaying different messages linked to the changing conditions. Work zone ITS improves both worker and driver efficiency and safety.

 

Smart Zone: Real Time Work Zone ITS Software:

Smart Zone is SolarTech’s ITS software that gathers and analyzes data from sensors and sends the data to your traffic management system. Using Smart Zone, you can set up condition/response rules that will display specific messages under specific conditions. No third-party programming needed… you have complete control over what message is displayed, and when.

 

Command Center: Message Creation, Scheduling and Logging

Use SolarTech’s Command Center software to cost-effectively meet the requirements of your specific ITS work-zone. Command Center automatically ensures that the correct messages are displayed for various pre-determined conditions.

With Command Center, you can manually manage both Arrow and Message Boards:

• Change messages remotely on multiple units at one time
• Schedule message changes on individual units
• Broadcast messages to all units instantaneously

In addition, Command Center enables you to monitor your traffic safety equipment by Identifying the geographic location of units, by reviewing logs of all unit operations and by receiving notifications/alerts of message changes, low battery conditions, location changes, etc.
