Description

Lighted Stop Bar Systems employ In-Road Warning Lights (IRWLs) to create a bright red, unmistakable cue to motorists to stop for an approaching light rail vehicle. These systems,
activated by train passage detectors or traffic signal controllers, reduce red light running and consequent injury.

Lighted Stop Bar Systems are monitored by the Spot Devices System Infrastructure Management Applications (SIMA) suite, a set of secure Web-based tools for remote, enterprise-wide supervision of all Spot Devices systems.

Operation

The bright IRWLs embedded in the roadway along the painted stop bar can be activated automatically when a light rail vehicle approaches or synchronized with traffic signals. Because the lights are only on when necessary, motorists and cyclists associate them with a real need to stop. This prevents 'warning fatigue' so that high compliance levels are maintained over time.
