LED Traffic Countdown Signals

Image
  What are the benefits of countdown signals? LED countdown timers are useful accessory to enhance safety and diminish undesirable behaviour of drivers   and other road users. They indicate the time remaining until red or green phase and thus positively   contribute to better orientation and less risky behaviour of all road users at junctions.       For instance, countdown timers at red lights warning drivers how much time is left before   the light changes can help to ease traffic flow. It was found that the presence of the countdown timers   at the intersection would help to reduce the start-up lost time at the beginning of the green phase by 22%   and reduce the number of red-light violations during the beginning of the red phase by 50%.   Furthermore, more than half of the local drivers reported that the timers help to relieve the frustration caused   by stopping for uncertain amounts of time during the red phase.   The res...

Spanish Intelligent Zebra Crossing Realizes Traffic Light Conversion According to Pedestrian Flow

Image
  LanguageUndefined [Sinowatcher Technology] According to ABC Spanish Daily report on June 2, Spanish city Valladolid first put intelligent zebra crossing into use. This technology can monitor the number of pedestrian instantaneity to realize intelligent conversion of traffic signals, providing convenience for pedestrians who are waiting to cross the street. It is revealed by the mayor of Valladolid, this technology is the world advanced.   Intelligent zebra crossing can be achieved by automatic regulatory system of lights and four heat-sensing cameras which can monitor the flow of pedestrian together. When the camera monitored that at least 17 pedestrians are waiting to cross the street in intersection, the traffic signal will automatically turns green, which is convenient for pedestrian.   According to mayor of Valladolid, this technology has been in trial operation in two main streets for about one and a half months in the city, making pedestrians spend less time (21%)...

SASO certified by TUV Rheiland

Image
  For all exports to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a Conformity Assessment Programme has been implemented. All products require a Certificate of Conformity also referred to as a SASO CoC to enable them to be cleared through Saudi Customs.   Every consignment of imported goods must be accompanied by a Certificate of Conformity from an authorised inspection agency.   Sinowatcher Technology products have been tested by IEC (International Electrical Commission) and then approved by TUV certification for SASO CoC.   TUV Rheinland group is authorised to issue the Certificates of Conformity (CoC). They are needed to ensure customs clearance of shipments and confirm that the products comply with the relevant Saudi technical regulations and national, regional or international standards.   Should you require relevant certification documents for your reference please contact us.   Sinowatcher Technology Co., Ltd is a professional industrial lighting companies , we prov...

Maintenance Tips for Traffic Signals

Image
  As we all know, traffic signals play an important role in our lives. They work in the exposed environment. Today, some common knowledge about the maintenance of traffic signals will be introduced, and we hope the tips work.   1. The traffic signals at the intersection are all not on: The causes may be the power failure, burning of the main fuse (caused by short circuit) and burning of the main board (caused by lightning stroke). In this case, it is necessary to power on, replace the fuse, and repair the circuit and mainboard at the same time.   2. The traffic signal on single direction is not on: The causes are mainly the burning of fuse (fuse aging), open circuit (caused by short circuit), the burning of transformer (short circuit or aging), etc. In this case, you should replace the fuse and repair the circuit, repair the circuit and replace the cable, and repair the circuit and replace the transformer.   3. A single traffic signal  is not on: the reasons are...

The Installation and Program Setting of Integrated Traffic Lights

Image
  Integrated traffic lights are automatic traffic signals. The quality of the foundation is related to the normal use of the equipment in the later application process. Therefore, in the process of preparing the equipment in the early stage, the following work should be done well:   1. How to pour the base of integrated traffic lights: Determine the position of installing the lights: investigate the geological conditions first. Assuming that there is 1.2m soft soil on the earth's surface, then the excavation depth should be deepened; in addition, it is necessary to determined that there is no other equipment (such as cables, pipes, etc.) under the excavation direction, and there is no long-time shading object on the top of the integrated traffic lights, otherwise, the orientation should be properly adjusted.   Reserve (excavate) a 1.3m pit that is in accordance with the standard at the position of automatic traffic signals, and carry out the positioning pouring of the emb...

New Development – 200mm High-flux LED Traffic Signal

Image
  We are glad to announce we have developed new version of our high-power LED light modules. This traffic signal – 200mm sized – is being applied commonly at junctions and provides traffic signaling. As you can see from the table below we replaced 6 LEDs with 3 high-flux surface mount type LEDs which are supplied by Nichia, Japan. They deliver higher light intensity while keeping low wattage. This type of LEDs will provide higher intensity and thus better performance at traffic lighting applications. Furthermore, it is energy efficient traffic light as the light modules consume no more 9W for green, and 7W for yellow and red.   Old version 200mm Color Amount Intensity Power Wavelength Red 6 LEDs 250cd 7w 622 ~ 628 Yellow 6 LEDs 410cd 7w 585 ~ 590 Green 6 LEDs 300cd 9w 500 ~ 506 New version 200mm Color Amount Intensity Power Wavelength Red 3 LEDs 400cd 7w 620 ~ 630 Yellow 3 LEDs 600cd 7w 590 ~ 594 Green 3 LEDs 600cd 9w 503 ~ 508   Sinowatcher Technology Co., Ltd is a profe...
