Winter-related traffic hazards abound, and they can have a substantial impact on driving. The main risk of winter roads is how slippery they become when covered with snow, ice, and black ice (ice that is invisible on the pavement). Visibility on the road is substantially reduced in foggy, rainy, and snowy weather.
To reduce the danger of an accident, drivers can prepare their vehicles for winter, practice defensive driving skills, and be more observant on the road. At the same time, road authorities must ensure that drivers are provided with the greatest possible circumstances to make the roads safer.
Although it is still summer, now is the time to prepare roads for winter, therefore today we provide you with 8 SERNIS solutions that you need to make the roads safer this Winter.
1. ICE-DETECTOR SOLAR ROAD STUDS
SR-i15, SR-i19, SR-i20, and SR-i25 are Intelligent Solar Road Studs that can detect the probability of ice formation in critical places. The trigger detection is given by an internal temperature sensor. The trigger detection point can be adjustable before production. SR-i25 is ready for snow plow machines. SR-i15, SR-i19, and SR-i20 aren’t ready for snow plow machines.
2. SR-i40
SR-i40 Road Stud is ideal for countries with low sun exposure due to its high-performance photovoltaic solar module. It has a robust construction, making it suitable for harsh conditions and ready for snow plow machines. This road stud has low-power RF with 868MHz network communication. The use of microcontroller technology inside each stud allows several beneficial features and control options even after installation.
3. WIRED ROAD STUDS READY FOR SNOW PLOWS
SR-45, SR-48, SR-50, and SR-70 have robust construction and high mechanical resistance (between 90 and 160 tons) making them suitable for harsh conditions and ready for snow plow machines.
4. FLEXIBLE LUMINOUS BOLLARDS
SR-CITY-BALI-TL and SR-CITY-BALI-TSL are Flexible Luminous Bollards. Flexible Luminous Bollards provide nighttime and wintertime safety. They serve as a barrier between pedestrians and driveways or as a warning for pedestrians at crosswalks. Due to the illumination and height of LEDs. They can work as visual warnings to drivers so they can reduce their speed and drive carefully.
5. SR-SDSFOG
A8 in Spain was closed for 78% of the time due to intense Fog. SERNIS developed the SR-SDSFOG - Smart Detector Beacons System - to revert that situation The innovation, presented at Intertraffic Amsterdam 2022, is activated in foggy situations and uses LEDs to guide and warn the drivers of the presence of another vehicle in front.
6. SR-IDS
SR-IDS is an integrated system developed to detect the possibility of ice formation on roads and alert drivers, at the same time, with visual warnings so they can reduce their speed and drive carefully. Whenever there is the possibility of ice formation, the Controller triggers the warning system, which keeps operating until effective temperature and humidity stabilize again.
7. LED SIGNS
LED Signs range from SERNIS including signs with LED beacons, signs with LEDS, variable traffic signs with predefined pictograms, chevrons, and internally illuminated signs.
They can be personalized and have high brightness during the day and night.
8. LED DISPLAYS
LED Displays can show different information. SERNIS developed an LED display with a rain sensor that only activates when it is raining, warning drivers to drive with more caution.
This innovative LED display is connected to the cloud, which allows it to be controlled and monitored remotely.
