Conflict monitoring systems for lane control sign applications

Messaging solutions provider SESA recently signed an agreement to develop NTCIP compliant lane control signs (LCS) incorporating a conflict monitoring system as a vital design criterion. This system will automatically change lane signals that correspond to the counter flow mandate.

Messaging solutions provider SESA recently signed an agreement to develop NTCIP compliant lane control signs (LCS) incorporating a conflict monitoring system as a vital design criterion.
 
This system will automatically change lane signals that correspond to the counter flow mandate. In multi-lane counter flow commute lanes, if a green arrow is displayed on one LCS, the LCS on its reverse must display a red cross. Timing on all LCS signs will be identical.
 
Additionally flashing red crosses will be in place as pre-emptive warnings to further stimulate awareness and directional flow changes.
 
The LCS signs will be complemented with additional amber directional down arrows providing a full spectrum of traffic control aspects with additional options should they be requested.
