Level crossing is considered as a barrier that is settled at those places where the road and railway tracks intersects each other. These barriers were responsible for heavy traffic jams at many places. That is why need of removing these barriers arise in many countries. The failure of these boom barrier leads to search for a better alternative which work better on the heavy traffic place for the pedestrian safety and traffic control.
Explain in Brief Boom Barrier Application.
Boom barrier is a pole that is commonly used at checkpoint to block the vehicles. The barrier is use to block access to the vehicle as well as to the person through entry gate. They are manufactured of good raw material i.e. stainless steel and aluminium and have powered coated finish to avoid starches. These are available in two type’s i.e. manual and automatic boom barrier. The manual barriers are easy to install and operate and mostly applicable for entrances of various buildings and apartments. The automatic barrier consists of DC motor and can be operated with the hand held transmitters. These barriers are provided with locking system and easy to open and close. In case of any power failure, the automatic barriers can be operated manually. These are used in residential complexes for the security purposes. The barriers are long lasting and also provide good protection and restriction.
How Radar Speed Sign & Variable Message Sign Improved Safety and Reduced Congestion
These signs are very helpful in reducing the traffic and improve the safety. Radar speed signs are contains a series of LEDs that display the vehicle speed. The LEDs display represents the radar speed limit signs of the vehicle. They are used as a traffic calming device and their purpose is to slow down the speed of vehicle by making drivers aware when they are over speed. These speed signs are used around school zone, neighbourhood streets, parks and other location where the foot passenger’s safety is of particular concerned. The radar signs are also used by some colleges and corporate campus to slow the traffic and improve the safety of pedestrian.
Variable message signs are used to display the messages, warning signals about specific events to the people driving on the road. The purpose of these message signs is to warn the people about traffic, speed limits, accidents and other incidents. The LED variable message signs equipped with latest integrated technology that display messages and information on a real time basis. They also display message in different colours, size, font and pixels to make them more attractive.
Automatic Boom Barrier & Bollards on Highway for Pedestrian Safety
Many locations such as hospitals, stores experience heavy pedestrian traffic and need more vehicle access control and protection. In these locations the Automatic barriers and bollard needs to be installed for the safety purpose. These barriers are integrated with wide range of accessories and different kind of access control systems and are reliable. In any kind of power failure the power backup system is also available with them. Along with these barriers automatic bollards are also used in area having high traffic. These are used to prevent unauthorised access and often used in conjunction with the barriers. They are used in both indoors and outdoors environment like, military areas, hotels, markets, conference halls etc. The bollard is installed into the ground and controlled by a CDS dedicated unit. These are most commonly used on highway where the footway is being damaged by the vehicles. The automatic rising hydraulic bollards are one of the best traffic controlling systems. They can be installed in a variety of different applications and considered as high security method of controlling the vehicle access.
