Abstract:
A light-emitting traffic cone includes: a cone body, having a hollow space; a base, connected to the cone body; and a light-emitting assembly, disposed on the base, the light-emitting assembly at least including a light-emitting body and a power supply, the light-emitting body being electrically connected to the power supply, and the light-emitting body being disposed at a position corresponding to the hollow space so that light emitted by the light-emitting body can irradiate into the hollow space. The light-emitting traffic cone can improve a warning effect.
Abstract:
A barrier body arrangement for a passage barrier of an access control system, includes at least a first substantially optically transparent barrier body having a first light coupling surface, at least one second substantially optically transparent barrier body having at least one second light coupling surface, wherein the first barrier body is connected to the second barrier body, at least one light source device configured to couple light into the first light coupling surface and/or the second light coupling surface, and at least one substantially optical transparent separation layer arranged between the first barrier body and the second barrier body.
Abstract:
A flashing beacon may include a signal unit, a control unit associated with the signal unit, a solar panel or collector, and an activation device that may all be mounted or otherwise positioned on a post of a roadway sign. Light units associated with the signal unit may be programmed to flash on and off in a unique wig-wag pattern. Further, a light bar may also be used with the beacon to generate an intense flash of light soon after activation of the beacon as an additional means of grabbing the attention of the operator of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A traffic barrier assembly alerts motorists to a hazardous road condition and helps guide the flow of traffic around the hazardous condition. The assembly includes a base member having a top end, a bottom end and a perimeter wall attached to and extending between the top end and the bottom end. A top member has a top edge, a bottom edge and a peripheral wall attached to and extending between the top edge and the bottom edge. The top edge defines an opening extending into an interior of the top member. The top member is telescopic relative to base member.
Abstract:
A combination scene lighting and traffic control system includes a scene illumination apparatus for illuminating an emergency scene, and a detachable adapter for converting the illumination apparatus into a traffic light. The scene illumination apparatus includes at least two separately actuatable lighting elements within a tripod-mounted housing. A control device allows simultaneous actuation of both lighting elements when maximum illumination is desired or actuation of a single element if less illumination is desired. The adapter holds two different colored filters, each of which overlies a different one of the lighting elements when the adapter is secured to the illumination apparatus, so that one colored light will be visible to approaching motorists when a first of the lighting elements is actuated and a different colored light will be visible when a second of the lighting elements is actuated. The filter colors are preferably associated with traditional traffic control colors such as red and green, so that approaching motorists will stop or go depending on which color light is visible.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to roadway delineators with one or more light sources that provide illumination and increased visibility. In one implementation, the delineator is operable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The delineator may include a plurality of panels with flexible connections that connect the panels to one another and allow the delineator to be collapsed. In addition, the delineator may be self-powered and include a solar array and/or a rechargeable power source for the one or more light sources.
Abstract:
A lighted bollard system that has significantly enhanced internal structural strength while providing for the replacement of the outer bollard cover and allows users to select from a plurality of different lighting fixtures suited for different applications.
Abstract:
One estimate indicates that rubbernecking and congestion consumes about 4% of this country's fuel. Two approaches are presented to help solve this problem. The first uses shields to block the view of a car accident. Rubbernecking is reduced since the visibility of the car accident is reduced. A second approach uses mobile flat units that can be remotely controlled to enter a roadway that is carrying active traffic. The traffic runs over these units that are being moved until the master processor indicates that the mobile flat units are in position. A post is extended from the flat unit that issues commands to the motorists so the master processor can begin to control and reduce congestion. Both approaches can be used to help decrease fuel waste in the US.
Abstract:
A railing with light emitting diodes includes a rod, a base unit secured to the bottom, a lid secured to the top, an illuminating device mounted in the rod, and a controller. The illuminating device is provided with a plurality of lighting units to illuminate as a warning light for passerby to avoid from collision and as a decorative light to beautify the environment.
Abstract:
A bollard includes a bollard post having a lamp which includes a louver stack. The louver stack includes louvers spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the bollard post. The bollard post is rectangular in cross section and the louver stack extends outwardly beyond the periphery of the bollard. There is a primary light source inwardly of the louver stack and a mechanism for providing light downwardly about the base end of the bollard post. One such mechanism includes an LED providing a light wash down the bollard post from beneath where that louver extends outwardly of the periphery of the bollard post. A second mechanism employs a top reflector above the primary light source to reflect light downwardly about the light source. Bottom reflector surfaces direct the light from the top reflector outwardly to louver reflectors located beneath the lowermost louver. Such reflectors can reflect light downwardly for light wash of the bollard post and an illumination about the base of the bollard post. The spacing between the lowermost louver and the periphery of the bollard post is exposed to the primary light source to create additional light downwardly to about the bollard post.
