Innovation Description and Benefit:

The Mobile Attenuator Tester is a portable, wheeled testing cart designed to streamline and improve the safety of Truck Mounted Attenuator (TMA) inspections. This innovation allows technicians to test critical components—including CMS boards, lights, and control systems—before the truck arrives, ensuring equipment readiness and reducing downtime. The tester enables raising and lowering of CMS boards, verifying display cards, and checking all lighting systems (brake, turn signals, running, clearance, and accessory lights) from a single mobile unit. By providing full functionality checks in the shop or across multiple bays, this solution enhances efficiency, improves safety, and ensures TMAs are fully operational prior to deployment. The Mobile Attenuator Tester simplifies maintenance, reduces troubleshooting time, and guarantees compliance with operational standards.
