SafeZone is a wirelessly networked, wirelessly controlled, battery powered, in-pavement/in-road warning beacon system. SafeZone is the only in-pavement warning system that delivers the following combination of benefits:
Intelligent radio-controlled, battery-powered In-Road beacons that will withstand heavy traffic
Programmable Flashing Patterns and Timings
Able to be integrated with other pedestrian or railroad crossing activation systems; or independently controlled
Able to be combined with wireless, radio-controlled roadside advance warning lights
Scalable to Suit Your Application
Placed in the road at, or leading up to, a pedestrian or railway crossing, in the footpath adjacent to a carpark exit, in advance of a concealed driveway, or in a school zone, SafeZone beacons overcome the tendency to ignore things in the periphery of your vision (including static/unlit signs and lights) by placing the primary warning element - a series of ultra-bright, flashing warning beacons - in your direct line of sight as you are walking or driving.
By providing improved warnings, well in advance of the danger condition being encountered, SafeZone affords the greater response times required to SLOW DOWN AND STOP, and thereby avoid the danger.
SafeZone's primary element is the SafeZone IRAD (In-Road/In-Rail Alert Device) which is an ultra-bright flashing LED warning beacon. When installed, only the top 20mm of the beacon containing the LEDs and the antenna show above the pavement or road surface. The below ground section contains the devices electronic controls, the RF transceiver system and four long-life Lithium Ion batteries.
SafeZone has been deployed in applications as diverse as food distribution centres to better manage road and foot traffic, in railway crossings to more effectively advise drivers that they are approaching and active railroad crossing, and in school zones to more effectively warn drivers to slow down when a zone is active.
