Innovation Description and Benefit:

The Automated Sign Innovation is a vehicle-mounted solution designed for advanced warning vehicles in multilane operations. This system enables remote deployment and stowing of static signs directly from the driver’s seat, eliminating the need for workers to exit the vehicle and reducing “boots on the ground” risk. Compatible with various vehicles using a receiver hitch and RV plug for power, the sign features adjustable height for different truck configurations and a simple push-button control for effortless operation. By allowing deployment without stopping the vehicle, this innovation saves time, simplifies workflows, and enhances safety by ensuring signs are only displayed when needed and stowed during transit. This approach minimizes traffic disruption, improves operational efficiency, and significantly reduces exposure to roadside hazards.
