Backup power system brings order to Shreveport intersections
Normally, traffic signals operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. The signals direct traffic through intersections, only requiring periodic maintenance and a power supply. However, when the power is interrupted, the signals no longer can function as intended.
| | |  RT3 Surface Traction Measurement Technology.
How slippery is the roadway? Good question. Using the RT3 (Real Time Traction Tool) from Cargill Deicing Technology, there's no more guessing. Developed for raceways, the RT3 relies upon its exclusive GEM Hub™ technology to deliver real time, foot-by-foot assessment of the road surface. The instant the roadway surface changes, the RT3 will relay current conditions to the in-cab display. Armed with this information, plow drivers will never have to worry about applying too little – or too much – deicer/anti-icer again. This results in significantly safer roads, optimized product usage and streamlined budgets.
The RT3 can be attached to a scout vehicle or plow truck using a trailer hitch or mounted under the carriage. Weighing just a few hundred pounds, the RT3 has little if any effect on vehicle handling.
For more information on the RT3, visit www.cargilldeicing.com.
