Automated Queue Warning (AQW) System
Our AQW System is highly accurate and provides real-time queue detection and automated advance warning, with full monitoring, analysis, and reporting.
When a queue forms, the system reacts accurately in real-time with a pre-programmed message alert triggered on our Variable Message Signs (VMS) to warn drivers approaching at high-speed, allowing sufficient time to slow down.
The system involves communication between queue detection sensors at key locations which transmit data directly through JamLogic software.
Most road works crashes are rear-end accidents (30-40%), Queue Warning systems are often the most cost-effective and can reduce rear-end type incidents by 20-60%, which not only reduce delays for all other approaching motorists but also makes the works area safer for motorists and workers.
Another variation of a Queue Warning system is a Dynamic Merge system, which encourages early merges when free flow traffic exists and then alters messages when the area is congested, to direct motorists to utilize all lanes until the merge zone. Studies have shown this type of system actually allows 10-15% more traffic flow compared to un-directed traffic flow.
