Work Zone Monitoring

Worker safety and congestion management have become huge concerns for construction firms and public transportation departments during construction projects.  Several projects now require construction or work zone monitoring and information distribution as part of the project's effort.

We can supply a turnkey work zone traffic information system is ready to provide local or web based traffic data and images. SAS-1 sensors, combined with the T-Box, cameras and other sensors, gather data via dialup or wireless means. Small, pole-mounted enclosures are easily moved as work progresses. CDMA and/or wireless links break the tether of a homerun cable or fiber connection, freeing the user to place a monitoring station easily anywhere in the work zone.  Solar power frees the user to decide where a observation point can be placed for optimal use, rather than be limited by running power lines in a construction zone.

An illustration of a traffic monitoring site includes a SAS-1 sensor and a for monitoring traffic in each direction.  Both are tied to T-Box which in turn communicates over a wireless link.  In this case, a CDMA modem.

The site, one of many, communicates to a host computer on a regular basis.  This computer captures the traffic and images from the site and makes them available for distribution via LAN or Web server.  The host computer can utilize the protocols posted in the documentation section of this website to communicate with T-Box, or a customized version of HiWayVu can be provided along with the hardware as required.
