USA Signal Technology Receives Approval From Texas Department of Transportation for Its Unique Energy Saving, Centrally Controlled, LED Powered "Intelligent" Lane Control Systems
Market Wire, September, 2006
USA Signal Technology, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: USSG) ( www.usasignal.com ) has successfully demonstrated and received approval for its unique LED (Light Emitting Diode) "Intelligent/Wireless" Lane Control Signal from the Texas Department of Transportation, a state with thousands of LCSs that need to be replaced, as well as thousands of planned new installations.
Lane Control Signals are those ubiquitous traffic signs with illuminated colored symbols on highway bridges and overpasses. The symbols show a specific lane's traffic condition: a green arrow for a lane flowing freely, a yellow arrow or yellow "X" for a slow lane, and a Red "X" for a lane that is shut down.
Based on the expressed needs of Departments of Transportation (DOTs) from a number of heavily populated states, USA Signal developed the first LED Intelligent Lane Control Signal to be extremely energy efficient (powered with only 10 watts), requiring almost no maintenance and offering continuous intelligent feedback to a centralized control location. In comparison, the tens of thousands of conventional LCSs now deployed across the nation are powered by an array of halogen lights through fiber optic harnesses that require 150 watts of power, are high maintenance, often unreliable and require local controllers.
What makes USA Signal's LCS "intelligent," is that unlike present systems, it is equipped with a microcontroller, wireless communication with a central location, redundant power supplies to function during blackouts and brown-outs, and several other advanced features highly sought by DOTs. This allows for lower installation costs and extremely less on-going maintenance expenses compared to current fiber optic-halogen systems. Most important, because of increased reliability and the ability to alert a central controller if a particular LCS will be in need of repair, or has actually stopped functioning, highway safety is greatly enhanced.
With its own redundant power supply, separate water tight and dust free enclosures for the LEDs and control electronics that are convection cooled, USA Signal LCSs have a greatly extended operating life. For these reasons, USA Signal is able to warranty its LCS for an unprecedented 5 years.
Texas is the first of many states where USA Signal plans to market its Intelligent LCS.
