Vehicle Alert Detection System for Deterrence and Denial

National Sign and Signal has recently developed a proprietary vehicle alert detection system designed to detect and deter vehicles attempting to enter a highway, one-way street, or railroad crossing from the wrong direction or at a restricted time. Utilizing state-of-the-art intelligent microprocessor-controlled radar motion sensors and traffic control equipment, VADS identifies and tracks misdirected traffic in real-time, immediately generating visual and audio alerts when user-defined traffic flow rules are violated. The innovative system can provide progressive levels of access denial to wrong-way traffic with negative resistance polymeric delineators and/or positive resistance stainless steel barriers. VADS can be easily installed and operated at any exit ramp, intersection, or railroad crossing, including remote areas where electricity is not accessible.

Notable Features:

• Easy point-and-click system applies user-driven security rules and requirements, alerting drivers and authorities when a vehicle enters a roadway from the wrong direction or a railroad crossing at a restricted time
• Video and audio alerts provide drivers with time-critical warnings to indicate that they have created an unsafe driving condition
• Alerts include:
  • Flashing LED strobe lights
  • Internally illuminated case signs
  • LED or fiber-optic B/O signs
  • Siren and horn signals
• Optional retractable polymeric barriers can be added to VADS as a safe and easy way to stop and/or redirect misdirected vehicles
• Alerts are broadcast instantly and automatically utilizing high-speed ethernet radio, cellular or satellite communication to notify local and/or state police or authorities of a potential safety breach
• 24/7 Video Content Analysis (VCA) software utilizes high-resolution MPEG-4 full-motion digital video cameras that monitor the vehicle flow on a specific roadway or railroad crossing
• Powered by a 24-volt system that can be charged using standard 110VAC or solar power
• Seamless integration with existing safety or travel alert infrastructure
