Traffic Sign Remote Monitoring and Control

Efficient Traffic Management: Remote Monitoring for Safer Roads.

Traffic Sign Remote Monitoring and Control

Traffic authorities have a problem: sign management over large areas gets expensive. These signs and lights are important traffic control devices that notify drivers of poor road conditions, slow or stopped traffic ahead, the need for snow tires and more. The most expensive way to do it is manually, i.e. driving an entire area to verify that signs are working as designed. With no remote monitoring or control of sign status, Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are left with few options other than to have road crews, police officers or snow plow drivers check on signs throughout very large regions often covering many thousands of miles of roadway.

Remote monitoring and control is a great solution, and one that needs to meet a few goals:
Reliability: it doesn’t help to install a solution that needs constant on-site troubleshooting or fails to deliver the needed feedback.
Affordability: traffic authorities have budgets and increases often require politics, public feedback, and more.
Ease-of-Use: not all system users are technical, so overly complex solutions reduce usefulness with DOT staff.
A reliable, affordable and easy solution can be found with ControlByWeb’s flexible IoT controllers, putting the data from each sign and light into one location where it can be understood and acted upon. Our solution is easy to implement, inexpensive to deploy and simplifies remote data acquisition and control for DOT employees.

No special network equipment or gateways are needed. Our devices simply need a sensor input and an IP network. Some devices have a built-in temperature sensor, like the XW-110 wireless temperature sensor, and connect to your network via Wi-Fi.

Remote Fit

Our devices are built for remote monitoring. They can connect to any TCP/IP network through an ethernet connection. You can get an ethernet connection to them through a variety of means. A few of our devices have built-in cellular modems. Our cellular devices can use the cellular network as their primary connection or connect to an ethernet network and use cellular as a failover connection

Integration Guide

Our devices are designed to be Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) within a larger control system and communicate via Ethernet IP using common protocols such as Modbus TCP/IP, SNMP, XML, or even JSON.

CBW Protocols

What communication protocols do ControlByWeb devices use? ControlByWeb devices communicate using Modbus TCP/IP, SMTP, SNMP V1/2C/V3, XML, JSON, HTTP, HTTPS, and SSL.
