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.
