HOW IT WORKS
A Typical SignalGuard Sequence
The exact sequence is configured for the application, but the system logic commonly follows this pattern.
02
Assign
Logic determines which approach receives the stop or proceed indication.
03
Signal
Red/green lights, beacons and optional audible alerts clearly communicate right-of-way.
04
Return
Signals restore to the normal state when the sequence is complete.
TYPICAL SYSTEM ELEMENTS
Technology That May Be Used
The final bill of materials depends on the site, but these are common components in this solution family.
Red/green traffic lights
LED beacons
Audible alarms
Pushbuttons
Radar / presence sensors
Compact control panels
PLC / relay interfaces
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Application Details Matter
Signal visibility, approach direction, normal/default state, timing, sensor placement and whether signals are advisory or part of a controlled crossing should be defined before hardware selection.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Where SignalGuard Can Fit
The final design depends on traffic, visibility, equipment and operating logic, but these are common application types.
Warehouse intersections
Blind doorways
Vehicle travel lanes
Pedestrian crossings
Simple stand-alone warning applications
RELATED SOS SOLUTIONS
Technologies That Often Work Together
Many applications combine more than one SOS solution family.
NOT SURE WHICH SOS SOLUTION FITS?
Start With the Operating Problem
A crossing, blind spot, dock, traffic control or mobile equipment problem may use more than one SOS solution family. SOS can help evaluate the application before you choose the technology.
Have a Traffic Control Systems Application?
Share the traffic pattern, facility area or operating challenge and SOS can help evaluate the right combination of technology and controls.
