Description

Installed at mid-block crosswalks, the Pedestrian- Activated Warning Beacon System remains dark until a pedestrian presses a pushbutton to activate the system. When activated, round amber beacons flash brightly, warning motorists that pedestrians are crossing the roadway. Universally recognized, round warning beacons have been in use at crosswalks and in school zones for the last 50 years. Spot Devices uses industry-standard amber beacons that are ITE certified. Beacons can be mounted on roadside poles for low to medium speed roads or atop mast-arms to increase visibility on high speed roadways. Spot Devices Pedestrian-Activated Warning Beacon System saves time and money by employing solar and spread spectrum wireless technologies, eliminating costly trenching and the need to pull power from an AC source.

Operation

Spot Devices System Infrastructure Management Application (SIMA) is a browser-based tool for remote, enterprise-wide supervision of all Spot Devices systems. SIMA allows users to perform system configuration, download reports or receive automatic diagnostic alerts from a browser-enabled desktop, notebook, tablet or smartphone.* In contrast with traditional signal controllers, the intuitive SIMA user interface doesn't require a signal technician to configure and operate.
