The Ministry of Transportation in UAE has mandated the installation of Emergency Variable Messages Signs on Dubai and Abu Dhabi highways Through a system integrator in UAE, ControlByWeb products were selected and used to control these Emergency Variable Messages Signs. These signs alert drivers when heavy fog obscures visibility on highways during summertime in UAE. The system has been installed in April 2020 and is still currently operational as of now. |
ControlByWeb industrial grade temperature ratings can withstand the harsh temperatures of the Arabian desert
The system integrator used ControlByWeb devices WebRelay-Quad to turn the signs on or off and alert drivers ahead of time to safely slow down and avoid catastrophic deadly incidents. ControlByWeb Devices have APIs which enabled the software integration of these devices with the Command and Control Center at the police stations responsible for monitoring highway conditions and controlling the emergency messages.
