Remote lane closure system from Versilis

Minimising the danger for road workers is always a key industry objective and Versilis is exhibiting an automated traffic control gate system which does just that. Its system uses a series of progressively longer, high-visibility and remotely-controlled gates that can close off lanes on a freeway without the need to put operatives in live lanes. “You need sight of the area when deploying the gates – either directly or via CCTV – to check for a gap in the traffic but beyond that the system fully automated

Minimising the danger for road workers is always a key industry objective and 538 Versilis is exhibiting an automated traffic control gate system which does just that. Its system uses a series of progressively longer, high-visibility and remotely-controlled gates that can close off lanes on a freeway without the need to put operatives in live lanes.

“You need sight of the area when deploying the gates – either directly or via CCTV – to check for a gap in the traffic but beyond that the system fully automated and controlled remotely,” said vice president Marc-André Séguin.

The NCHRP tested gates are being used for an increasing range of applications including controlling entry to reversible lanes and closing a lane to allow unhindered access to traffic on an on-ramp following the end of sporting events.
