Introducing UltraLight™ | Portable Traffic Signals
Since its launch in June 2023, TOPAS 2540A compliance is increasingly stipulated in intelligent transport system (ITS) contracts. UltraLight™ obtaining this high standard of compliance allows customers to quickly identify it as a safe and effective solution, facilitating diligent procurement.
A competitive run time and the longevity of the batteries’ bullet lock protection precludes the need for frequent exchanges, saving energy, time and money and minimising the amount of time that road workers need to spend in live highways scenarios.
The new product is compatible with SRL’s Solar PLUS®, enabling UltraLight™ customers choosing to incorporate the solar technology into their signals to harness renewable energy and limit their carbon footprint.
UltraLight™ is engineered to withstand the toughest weather conditions: it is IP57-rated and protects against water ingress. The signal incorporates SRL’s new radio acoustic wave stabiliser which minimises communication interference and a new optimum size antenna ground plate that promotes reliable transmission and accurate telematic monitoring. It also features as standard SRL’s enhanced adaptive detection system with automatic configuration.
All SRL’s portable traffic signals manufactured in future will be TOPAS 2540A compliant. The company already has a fleet of the latest 2516D TOPAS registered variable message signs (VMS) and is focused on gaining additional certifications for further product categories.
SRL’s Chief Executive Officer, Mark Eburne, comments…
“SRL is laser-focused on the development of innovative, sustainable ITS solutions that promote safety and efficiency on our road networks. We are very proud to launch such a pioneering product to the traffic management sector, and to be one of the first manufacturers to achieve the new TOPAS 2540A compliance in the process.”
