Radio modems for traffic control

Traditional, static road signs cannot provide drivers with dynamic information

As traffic situations constantly change, static traffic signs are sometimes inadequate at serving road users in the best possible way. SATEL has addressed this by producing radio modem solutions that enable traffic control solutions, interactive traffic signs and vehicle tracking and positioning solutions.

For smoother traffic flow

Up-to-date information is essential on the road. Without it drivers desperately look for free parking slots and freezing passengers at bus stops count down the minutes until the next bus will arrive. On freeways real-time weather updates, warnings and changing traffic control signs are needed to match the changing situations. Real-time data and interactive remote-controlled signs and data-boards make everyone's life easier and traffic safer on the roads.

Control your controls

Radio modems from SATEL enable the real-time and centralized control of information boards, traffic signs and speed limits. With wireless data transfer networks drivers can be kept up-to-date on free parking spaces in parking lots. Traffic signs and speed limits can also be adjusted according to the weather, even in remote areas. The settings can be either broadcast to all units or updated individually, whatever the situation requires.

All this can be done using a privately run, reliable network without costly cables, additional call charges, line rentals or third party companies.

Know your location

As well as controlling traffic signs, two-way data traffic can be used to relay location data, for example between buses and bus stops. For instance, the schedules on bus stops are always up-to-date as they receive real-time data relating to the buses precise location. SATELLINE radio modems can also be used to easy congested traffic flow more efficiently by prioritizing automatic traffic lights to let buses have the right of way.

Lifesaver

With their long standing reputation for reliability, SATEL is the first choice for public authorities and emergency services such as the police and rescue in many countries. Location data is used to track police cars or ambulances and to assign the nearest units to the accident sites. Radio modems are used to transmit real time information to in-vehicle terminals and to ensure safe and quick transit to the site by controlling the traffic lights en route. Real-time two-way connections ensure faster reaction time, safer response and minimal hindrance to other road users.
