Name: TriSign The TriSign is a remote-access, changeable message sign that has been developed as a direct replacement for temporary traffic management signage on project works on high-speed and/or high-risk areas. It is intended to remove the need for mobile traffic control convoys and workers on foot from high-risk set-up and pack-up functions. The TriSign allows the user to quickly change the signage on a traffic management worksite to one of three pre-set options (the options being configurable prior to use). The TriSign uses low power and runs off solar and on-board battery. It has been designed as a direct replacement for pole or vehicle-mounted multi-message TTM signage and for project worksites.

Name: Gibney® Barrier The Gibney Barrier is a portable manual traffic control device comprising two paddles perpendicular to each other to control vehicle movement during emergencies, road construction, public events, or other activities. It can be used as an alternative to the Stop/Slow bat, allowing traffic controllers to step out of the live lanes of traffic. It reduces the traffic controller’s exposure to live traffic. The Gibney Barrier incorporates a ‘Boomerang Arm’ to position the traffic controller 1.2–1.5 m from the edge line in accordance with Austroads standards. Conditions for use:

Name: eBOOM The eBOOM is a portable lightweight boom barrier. It is designed to provide a physical barrier to entry, and remove traffic controllers from live traffic, enabling them to control traffic movement from a protected location. It can be deployed by a single person and is wirelessly paired and controlled via a Hand Remote Controller (HRC) within a safe radius of 400 metres. The eBOOM can be integrated with other traffic control signs within the traffic control vehicle. Conditions for use:

Name: eSTOP Auto The eSTOP Auto is a portable lightweight traffic signal system that can be deployed by a single person. It is wirelessly paired and controlled via a hand-held remote controller, enabling traffic workers to perform their duties from a safe distance away from live traffic. The eSTOP Auto can be deployed in three modes, manual/auto/vehicle actuation. The auto function enables the traffic operator to regulate the traffic automatically under supervision. The embedded vehicle radar (Vehicle actuation) feature ensures reduced waiting times as it overrules “green” periods when no vehicle is approaching to let the waiting vehicle on red proceed. Conditions for use:
