How do power disturbances affect traffic signals & intelligent transportation systems?
Power disturbances that impact traffic signals and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) not only create potentially dangerous conditions for transportation users, but also often result in immediate gridlock and congestion on arterial roads and outlying intersections – impacting air quality, noise levels, and transit times.
While this is no surprise to those familiar with the challenges of transportation, many may be unaware that strategically deployed and reliable backup power can minimize or even neutralize the root cause of many of these problems.
What happens if a traffic control system fails?
Year to year, traffic control system failures account for an immeasurable number of vehicle accidents, personal injury and fatalities, and insurance claims.
