New Berghaus LED Technology
Berghaus has announced that the very latest high-output LED technology developed and produced by the company is now being fitted in its low-cost ultra-flat LED advance warning light for a wide range of applications.

Berghaus says that while elsewhere a large number of LEDs are needed, its technicians manage with just a single high-output LED with excellent surface illumination, as verified by test results from the 1938 German Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt). An integrated automatic dimmer adapts the luminosity of the LED advance warning light with fully variable adjustment to the ambient brightness. This ensures that road users are not dazzled and current consumption can even be reduced to 55 mA (at 24V) in complete darkness. Other advantages of the electronic control developed by Berghaus include, for example, standard electronic reverse polarity protection and undervoltage protection. In addition, the lights can operate with either 12V or 24Vdc without having to switch over.

    Collecting speed and travel time data without using roadside infrastructure could offer new possibilities to cash-strapped road authorities. Streaming video may be useful for traffic controllers to monitor incidents and automatic number plate recognition may be required for enforcement, but neither are necessary for many ITS functions. For instance travel times, tailbacks, percentage of vehicles turning, origin and destination analysis can all be done using Bluetooth and/or WI-Fi sensors and without video o
