As the economy of the nation improves, there has been
an increase in the number of vehicles on our roads. This has caused an increase
in the rate of motor accidents at our junctions and on our highways in the
recent past especially in the nights. This occurrence during the day is not
unconnected with the day fatigue experienced by our traffic control officer who
had been standing for hours. In the night, as we know they are not usually on
duty. Traffic Control signals can be installed but can sometimes prove
ineffective due to regular interruptions in the power supply (NEPA). For this
reason we wish to introduce our solar powered LED traffic control system.
This system has been carefully designed and proven to
ensure that there is automatic, smooth and uninterrupted Traffic control and
thus increasing safety of life both in the day and night with or without the
control officer. These solar powered LED traffic control systems are programmed
to allow real time control based on a thorough survey of the traffic flow, taken
into consideration the dull time and peak periods as well as weekend and
holidays.
Conventional traffic control systems use incandescent
laps, parabolic reflectors, color filter lenses and masks for special signs
(e.g. arrows. Pedestrian crossing signals etc.). Incandescent lamps emit broad
band light and consume enormous energy as about 94% of the electricity is wasted
as heat and only 6% electricity is converted to light. As grid electricity is
becoming costly day by day, alternative systems consuming less electricity are
becoming popular.
